Video Poker A Video Poker Primer with Bartop Listings and Better Nickel Options!

They have downgraded most games at Luxor in the high limit room. The Bartops are also being replaced so I am sure they will downgrade the also ...man I hate MGM and the PgP plan

 

Likely. PGP sucks and makes me feel more obligated to recheck these things since most MGM properties seemed to have gone through a downgrade this year. I'll probably double check personally Sept. 7th if no one gets there first (birthday free play wheel spin for gf). The bartops could use the overhaul though. Those and plus the ones at Aurora may be some of the oldest I have ever seen.

 

Do you know if they finished replacing the bartops? If so are the games downgraded? I was thinking about playing Jacks or Better there one day.

 

And so it begins. I will update this trip findings in this post.

And fucking up the buttons I caught myself doing this. But it worked out!!!

 

Good win! That paid you more than the regular quads on quarter DDB. Try not to get too drunk ...

If it is not too much trouble, can you walk across the bridge on Tropicana Blvd to the Luxor to see if the High Limit Room bartops have been updated?

I think you might need to update the Times Square Bar to $10 denomination if you are staying at NYNY.

 

Tring dancer right there Haha.

Man if you caught that 4th ace!

 

We have plans to eat at Tender via myVegas this trip, I'll def check Luxor HL then. Times Square only went up to $5 on the unit I checked, that's where I misclicked those Aces.

Oh I was imagining it!!!

 

I can't believe someone would be so inattentive as to hit the wrong button and bet a large amount without meaning to!

 

Inattentive no... drunk..yes. lol

 

I only had one beer last night. So it wasn't that.

 

Yeah, I wasn't even drinking when I did my biggest oopsie. Maybe that's the problem

 

I did $20 by accident straight up in a auto roulette machine once.... bam hit it...

Probably drunk

 

MANY times I've hit the "Bet Max" button instead of the "Repeat The Bet" button. Many times I've played at the $1 level just assuming it was $.25!

 

Do you know if this 100-play is still available:
Planet Hollywood: 9/5 JoB** High Limit room (100-play)
Wouldn't this be a better machine to tackle the DIAD then the 10 play JoB $1 STP there?

 

Sent you a pm

 

Have any of you seen this about these guys who figured out how to cheat Game King machines. Wow. https://www.wired.com/2014/10/cheating-video-poker/

 

Yeah I saw that a while ago. Got greedy could have kept going on with smaller scores.

 

It was as of August 4th. You can play just one line if you want to. One of the better machines at the quarter level on the strip.

 

Anyone know if they comp drinks at the Montecristo cigar lounge at Caesars?

 

I want to say from another TR that was a negative.
