    This is the only forum I've been on where you had a time limit to edit your posts. I don't care for it...

    I don't really like the time limit, either. I understand and agree with the reasons for it, but there have been times that I realize I made an error after posting a message but wasn't allowed to correct it half an hour later. I suggest a good compromise would be to allow one to edit a post at any time until a response has been posted.

    Dan,
    I remember a Flush attack version of VP from a long time ago. I agree w you that I haven't seen it in many years. there is a new version, same name on a single line new VP cabinet that also offers spin the wheel with a 4-of-a-kind, and maybe 3 or 4 other traditional 3 or 5 handed games. They're in the Eureka on Sahara; only at quarters, tho. Also there is one machine at Fiesta Henderson just off player's club on the side of the club near sports book bar. Only 1 machine, tho. This flush attack is different in that it changes the base game from a 4000 coin royal into a progressive.

    Not as good as the old one. This one is owned by Action Gaming. I can't imagine they own the old one, too, as they weren't business, then, unless it was under another name

    Mark, I haven't seen it, yet. I dislike this behavior. I hope it gets implemented everywhere, soon!

    Frank, its inconceivable that any one person would be expected to 'pump up' any progressive on a bank. I think you're comparing two incomprable things.

    VegasGal, Frank is exactly right. The situations are equivalent. It doesn't matter whether one person or many pumped up the expected return of a game. It's money that was abandoned to the custody of the casino until someone wins it.

    BTW, I think it was Sigma who owned the original Flush Attack games.

    If you don't like how someone else plays, do not enter a casino!

    It makes a lot of sense when you are playing cat and mouse with the casino. You never know when or where the heat can come down on you. Why make their job of rooting you out easy on them by sticking your card in the machines on plays like UX. You are not going to run much in the way of comp anyway on a play like that. You are just giving them your track record of a big win with not much of a wager.

    The only reason to not use a players club card is when you are hustling the tables. There are particular play styles that the casino does not like and eventually give the bums rush to those who use these methods.

    Machines cannot be hustled, but they can be cheated with fake money, fake vouchers and other gimmicks. If you are going from machine to machine, not using a players club card and not staying long at a machine you will be spotted rather quickly and security will more than likely investigate what you are doing.

    Casinos are not stupid, they have seen it all.

    I would not use a card while vulturing Ultimate X's. And I will give you a specific real world example of why I wouldn't. This happened at the Peppermill/Reno several years ago. They had a quarter bank of 9/7 Double Bonus progressives where the meters were on the Royal and the 4 Aces. One day, for some reason, the meters quit resetting whenever a Royal or 4 Aces were hit. The meters were not that strong but since they didn't reset they eventually got so high that knowledgeable players exploited the bank. And this play went on for quite awhile. Slot Operations did not catch up with it until the 4 Aces meter got to the $1200 mark where they had to issue W-2G's to those that hit 4 Aces. At $1200 its at least an 18% player advantage. When they finally caught up with it, Slot Operations went to the Players Club and had them revue who had been playing the game. Those who used their cards lost their players club privileges, those that didn't use a card went unscathed.

    It is not uncommon for a casino to adjust points for a faulty machine or remove them all together from the players who played that machine. However, if the the player was initiating some loophole in the machine that normal play would not produce, then the casino has the right to cancel the players club card and all points.

    Players are quick to call/contact the NV gaming commission about such issues, including point reductions and losses for faulty machines, casino management not honoring promotions, and wrongful accusations of cheating.

    Exactly, and thats why I would never use my card on a play like that.
