ANY HELP WITH  9/6 JOB IN VEGAS. "VEGAS VIRGIN" HERE HEADING THERE IN OCTOBER. ANY ON THE STRIP? STAYING @ PLANET HOLLYWOOD...
THANKS FORUM,
MIKE
 

No 9/6 at Planet Hollywood.  If you want to play in the casino downstairs it looks like your best bets will be Bonus Poker and Double Bonus (also 9/6 DDB)
 
They had 9/6 at the Hilton where I did most of my play, which as you probably know is just off-strip towards the end. I played there because I was staying there and it's one of the few places to find some positive machines and others close to it right near the strip.
 
At some strip casinos, you will need to be high limit to get 9/6.  What denomination do you plan to play? $5+ is common for some of the major ones (Venetian, Caesars, etc)
 
Out at the hard rock I saw 9/6 JOB quarters. At the Hilton they had it at all the low levels too. Same with Terribles.
 
I think Wynn might be a good bet for on-strip at the dollar level or so, also the Flamingo and Palazzo.
 
You might have to hunt a little. 9/6 JOB quarters probably does not exist right on the strip. If you are a big spender or get off-strip... no problem at all.

 This site has a pretty good listing of games at various denominations.Hope this is helpful.

Eduardo thanks for the info... I prefer to play BP & DDB.. this will be my 1st time out to VEGAS. I guess I will have to do some searching.. that's what I am looking forward too.... I usually play Quarters...

My first time out there was late last year just for an overnight. Then I went again earlier this year and had a blast. Hope you have a great time too!  If it's your first trip you probably don't need to get too far away from the strip.  There is so much to do and see.  If you wanted to take a day to just play VP then maybe get away from the strip to some better pay tables. I hope to do that on my next trip but we'll see. But if it's a short trip, just do the best you can and enjoy the experience. See the link that Ed da Cat posted above for some good info. it's what I used to find the full pay loose deuce machines that made my last trip worthwhile (and better than free).

I bet you didn't find one of those.

Oops.  There I go again with the "full pay" term.
Sorry... I meant greater than 100% return.
 
This one was 100.1%, but for my wife and I it was better than 200%

JM, not sure what is defined as positive return for LDW, but when I went checking casino listings of machines, many of the listings for LDW had 15/8 schedules attached to them. FPDW or NSUD listings generally carried a 16/10 schedule. Since strategy for LDW and NSUD are somewhat different, would the LDW game hit more frequently to make up for the lower paytable?

  FPDW is 15-9-5.  LDW gives 500 instead of 200 for deuces so the rest of the table suffers on the other pays, but 15-8-4 is the version Eduardo found to his liking.  

Thanks guy's I just am not up on all the Poker Lingo.. FPDW= full pay dueces wild correct? Some I'm not sure of...
