To have any realistic shot of winning by playing VP, one must play the best pay tables possible, even if it means not playing the nearest casino.
You must play with a players card and take as much advantage of promotions as possible. Jean Scott's books on Frugal Gambling are an excellent resource. Her newest book is due any day and is available on Amazon.

I personally have not experienced that. It is all about the RNG, not the players card.

I've never personally committed suicide, but I take the experts word it's not a good thing to do.

I have been at this game for quite a long time. My use of a players' card over that time has generated total benefits of thousands and thousands of dollars. Not using a players' card is, in my opinion, totally senseless.

OMT I cringe when people claim that they are "luckier" when they don't have their players card in the reader.

I have been told that some casinos punish players that exclusively play the few positive machines left.
In those very limited circumstances, perhaps you might be better off not using your card, but the other 99.8 % of the time, you are doing yourself a real disservice.

If you think a casino can "punish" players, then were right back to the playing with your player card question...If a casino has control of our cards, and control of what we "win or lose" were in trouble...LOL

   Casinos punish players by either no mailing them or greatly reducing their comps. If you don't think that happens, I have some beachfront property for you, just west of Jean. I don't think they punish you, I know they do.

A lot of people believe it too.
