VP at the new D

[dewey089]

Ripoff! At least at the new Long Bar. If you play 8/5 Bonus there, well you a Long Bar stuck....nevermind


The 8/5 Bonus machines at the Long Bar return 86% with perfect play.
No mistake. I asked for a view of the paytable.

Two pair is the same as Jacks.
And the Fullhouse is not increased from 8 to 10 as it is on a game that pays 94%

So, the VP at the Long Bar is worse than the average downtown slot. Quite a bit worse. that 86% ius with perfect play. Who is going to run those numbers through a calculator and produce a strategy sheet with perfect play for this game, who can't produce perfect play on a slot?

Here is an outline of the most common Bonus pay tables. Note that even a 6-5 game (and where can't you find a 6-5 game?) offers a better play.

That is not so good... in fact, that is beyond brutal.

I have read a couple reviews saying the bar is nice and a great place to hang out.

On another note Dewey, I never made it to Ellis Island when I was there a couple weeks ago as there was not enough time. The wifey was too busy with shopping so I was stuck at various bars playing decent video poker (better than the D) and live poker...

I'll be back in July, and I should make it there then.

I think on my next visit to Vegas I will get to use the EI $10 freeplay coupon as I expect to be up at Imperial Palace and have the time to wait it out and get the freeplay the next day. Always a hassle. Always a loophole. They couldn't just make me feel really good about the place and give me the $10. They have to make certain I visit twice.
Every time casinos play these games, I play back.
I won't be able to play the free bingo if IP still has an Aces cracked game in the morning. I will be able to eat late night steaks. Maybe I'll even book some weekend time at the Super 8 and then I'll be really positioned.
Also, while my usual job machines were downgraded in pay table, I am assured that there are some full pay quarter JOB over by the entrance to the karaoke bar. 4 single play machines.
