Sindustry has got me playing VP more and more.

I"m not to his level of play but I am playing it more than I use to.

I think it is better than slots in ROI but still losing.

 

I play it at the 25 cent level when sitting at the bar. You definitely get more play on your buck than with slots. I'd like to try these machines I see @riders playing next trip for a larger bet. I get fast drinks too. I can't remember the last time I had to order a drink from a cocktail waitress. Lol

 

Are you looking for a larger bet or it is a game that looks more interesting? All platforms come in various denoms (though the "odds" typically change for the better as you go up in $$$).

 

@ken2v I'll definitely play a larger bets on those dream card or DSTP machines. I usually play at the bar tops at Palazzo and it's just the basic JOB and DW stuff. So I only play the $1.25 a hand there, but slots I max bet everything. Kinda boring VP play there,but I'm only there a short time. I know the bartenders so well there that they make my drinks in to go cups with lids as I always go play slots. They even make me a new one and send my husband to find me with it when they think I'm running low. Lol That's service!

 

That's damn good service! Very cool

 

My wife and I go to Vegas 3 times a year, and always stay downtown, in order to play "full-pay" video poker ... either 9/6 "JOB" . or 8/5 Bonus Poker. We play VP for about 6 to 7 hours per day, and are perfectly happy to break even on a trip, what with all the bonus card points we rack up. With a couple of Royals and several quads, we often come home with a profit. Even breaking even is "profitable", as we never pay for a room, and never pay for a meal.

 

Buddha, Glad you made the long trek over! Welcome to Vegas Boards!

 

The problem with this is that the hands that are devalued (full house, flush) are frequently hit in JOB and are approximately 17% of the return of the game.

When a casino offers short pay video poker, they are taking more money out of gamblers wallets, while still offering the big payouts for a royal flush that make you want to come back.

 

The biggest reason that I play.... Quads. DDB Dream Card baby.
