[vpFREE] Re: RIO - Good News, Bad News

I would speculate if you are a visiting 7* they might let you in on the promo. Something similar happened in Reno a couple of months back, and as predicted, the games of interest didn't last very long ($5-$10 Triple Play SAB, $5 NSUD). Neither is really a great play, but they got burned down. (Yes, this is highly instructive). I know the SAB is almost 1% but very risky, you must flop the Aces at some point and make your Royals reasonably on time, or it's going to get ugly in most cases, and every set is a tax form, which slows up play. .7 single line is marginal. I mean, I'm playing much cheaper stuff with a similar earn per hour.

There have been a couple of bigtime mistakes there over the years. One of them escaped my eye, probably because when I went in to scout, someone was playing sonething else on a machine of interest.

I know they have a hardon for the VP players and a bigger one for the locals. They once had a $5 Jack progressive, with a .1% meter, yes, point one, that got up to $26K. After it got hit, they pulled the game. We're talking about 8 royal cycles, but slots didn't feel like they were making enough on the game, I suppose.
