    99.96%. Shorting the SF to 40 for 1 only costs about 0.11%. It's a version of DDB that's Indiana friendly. There are at least a dozen states where the max slot/VP payback is capped at 100%. Horseshoe Hammond USED to have it until 2013ish. Supposedly Indiana Grand did years ago too... I played it for quarters at Tunica Roadhouse...RIP.

    No it doesn't. I meant her actual result was 90% return. Theoretically it's 99.96%. Sorry for the confusion.

    That $.05 40/10/6 BP 10-play (with cheese!) at the Emerald Isle looks sooo sweet! I have trouble spreading my play all the way down there. The Skyline is usually the end of my reach. How many comped breakfasts can I eat? lol.

    I'm sure it's a lot more than I can. My goal in Vegas is not to be up early enough to eat breakfast...

    Did you see this guy, Andrew Neeme? Local poker vlogger that was there yesterday, likely grinding the same VP as you.

    He’d probably standout as he’s likely one of the younger guys in there. He was down there yesterday as well.

    At Skyline? There was a younger guy playing standing up at the end of the bar that could have been him. Whoever it was, he was super nice and pointed me towards an open quarter progressive machine.

    My first hundred ran really bad. Only got ~$550 in play in before it was gone. Variance is a bitch.

    Took a wander through Sunset Station and Klondike Station, but didn’t play anything. Now installed at Skyline bar. It was packed when I got here and I wedged into an open machine between two grinders. Felt almost like a pro myself.

    Down $85 and forgot to take pictures along the way. Only one quad, but not one I needed for bingo. Come on 3, 5, 6, 10 and Q.

    Nothing much more exciting. Back home - going to some winery with the relatives.

    The bingo card pays out $200 - but as a visitor I’ll probably never manage to fill one in. Still fun though!

    Done with work for the day. Woo hoo.

    Chilling poolside with another New Belgium I liberated from the relatives fridge. Waiting for aunt to finish up her workday then headed to the Strip. Uncle wants a drink with a view - he’s advocating for lounge at Eiffel Tower Restaurant. I’m pushing for Skyfall at Delano.

    I’m checking into Plaza this evening and will be there until Sunday.
