i understand, if it were that easy everyone would be doing it, although the vp section in vegas always seems busy!anyway yea im just willing to risk 1k$ i have more but well see how first day treats us, how much damage can a 100.76% game do to a quarter player x 2 assumng each playing perfectly? in a 3 day span?

my sims show losing 1000 credits and never ever looking back and keep extracting funds from the casino and my other sims show losing 21k credits before winning back + winning foreverbut im not sure how common or uncommon these scenarios are with fpdw, maybe in the middle 3k$?

$500, better stick mostly with quarters (a little room for some dollar play, depends on how long you want to play).Red Rock, GVR (or other Stations), Palms are your friends for full pay, including deuces. If you want to learn some Loose Deuces before your trip, then add the Westgate sportsbook if you are near the strip (all the above also have full pay Loose Deuces).Good luck! (with $1k on hand, you'll need it).Be sure to get a Players Club card for wherever you play... with Deuces you'll be looking at a lot of coin-in and you'll pick up some good offers for your next trip out, assuming you play well.




I definitely wouldn't recommend Loose Deuces for much play on a half a royal bankroll. That game is really about those ducks...

It is? I must go at off times. I can almost always get on a FPDW unit at Stations.

As far as sims go, what's the MAXIMUM amount of hands you think you'd play over the 3 days? 10k? 20k? Since you're with the wife, she probably kills you if it's over 20k.

Hell yea man, how many times have you ever walked by  a BJ table VP section see it empty? maybe 5am on weekend but other than thatt always busy lunch breakfast and dinner.anyway i doubt i'll strike it rich but is fun to try. and again gambling with a possible positive outcome will fun regardless of the resultsi stoppped believing in simulations after many studies. unless the scenarios are 1/2 mil to over a mil, anything can happen before that. played on my phone popped in 4 twenty bills and manage to win over 2k, off a 80$ br and 2nd phone yielded 1k$ profit witha  200$ brso yea unless im playing a years worth of VP im not a big believer what can and cant happen in 3 days span

Most weekdays in the afternoon, they definitely have plenty of open spots at least...especially when I visit Tunica.

What hopping casino are you usually playing at?

here we are in vegas, and yet i still played a crappy deuces wild game first night in the hotel, tonight we are heading to the palms!!

my wife feed 40$ into bierhouse i fed 20$ in poker machine and nada my dad recommended wheel of fortune machine and quit ahead 16$ and some change 1/3 isn't too bad for first night.

Best of luck, steve. I've done pretty well at Palms with a very limited amount of play (lucky).

I hope you do well too, but given the bankroll you described for this short trip, even with positive machines the odds are NOT in you favor. Good chance you burn through it all.

Hopefully you hit something early and know how to hold on to it.

Good luck! :up:

Thanks eduardo, i rarely ever do gamble with an edge these days, best i did was five joker poker when jack pot reaches 2k+ and after taxes i doubt im gambling with an edge, and card counting blackjack was very short lived with table min being 15$ a turn and having to spread to 10 just grind out a win well again the bankroll was short lived, but here i am in vegas and my target is set up with deuces wild we shall see how it goes with 2 good heads plugin away at a 0.76% operating on every hand!
