Hello Friends, can anyone recommend a good place to play JOB 9/6 VP in Vegas?we are staying at the flamingo.....thanksMike

Unless you play high limit ($1 or better denomination) you'll have to head off the Strip -- Palms (probably closest to Flamingo), all Stations casinos, downtown (4 Queens) and many other locals joints all have 9/6 JOB at quarter or even lower denominations. Good luck on your trip!

Hit up www.vpfree2.com -- click 'Games' then select the options you want. There are actually some good 99.54%(*) JoB with progressives at various denominations. (*) I say 99.54% instead of '9/6' because there are a number of '9/6' machines out there with very different pay tables, be careful. 1-1-3-4-6-9-25-50-800 (86.71%) 1-2-3-4-6-9-25-50-500 (98.88%)1-2-3-4-6-9-25-50-800 (99.54%) "Full Pay"1-2-3-4-6-9-25-50-940 (99.90%) 1-2-3-4-6-9-25-90-800 (99.996%)

  That site shows Cosmopolitan offering it even at 25 cent.  Not a progressive but outstanding for the strip, and the high-class strip at that.  They should be rewarded for that.  And, after you lose $100 on that very machine they will put another $100 right back on there if you are carding.

Dunno where that machine is at Cosmo, but it may be a new addition. Did their $100 rebate offer, lost $100. Games seem very tight there

  I think I will retract my praise.  Apparently they offer it on 1 slant top.But you never know; it might not get that much play.

If you want to play PE games, head off strip or check the hi limit room. Did a quick check on a $100 denom machine in a hi limt room once and saw 8/5 BP, 9/6 JoB and 9/5 DDB. Even at the benjie denom, they wouldn't offer 9/6 DDB. SadMany players just sit down and play without checking the paytables. the casinos love you btw

  And we love you Ed.

I was at Mandalay Bay and played 9/6 job on $5 recently. 1st time there and its beautiful but I didnt win. I normally dont play that high but I hit a dollar royal a few days before.  Good luck to you!

Dunno where that machine is at Cosmo, but it may be a new addition. Did their $100 rebate offer, lost $100. Games seem very tight there Turns out there is only 1 machine.  Ridiculous!  Made a fool out of me for praising them (which I later recanted).  However, I just evened the scales, at least.  Early Sunday morning I swung by MGM to tame the LIONS SHARE.  I didn't, but neither did it bite my head off.  Put in $21 and played until I had 7 consecutive no-hits and cashed out-------with $21.  Wasn't that inconvenient-the service people are usually pretty prompt, and this time they gave me my money before they did all the machine resetting crap.  So then to Harmon and the Cosmo.  Parking was a snap, unbelievably easy.  Go to get my card and they tried to offer me either $10 fp or a chance to spin the money wheel which would be open in 1.5 hrs.  I asked the EV of the wheel. Say what? I did find out that one third of the values are $5 and two thirds are $10 plus. WIn up to $500, bet there's way more tens than five hundreds. I was going to take the wheel chance anyway.  I had verified the $100 rebate was still active when I first walked up to the counter.  Luckily, as I was leaving the counter, I thought to ask if I had to come back and wait in line to redeem it. She says well you already chose the wheel so you are not eligible for the rebate offer-it's one or the other.  So she then had to do some more typing and correcting for me to waive the wheel door and opt for the rebate.  So I looked around a whole lot trying to decide how I wanted to play it.   I will say they had fabulous looking machines.  I finally settled on one of the penny jobs, Double Dinosaur, I believe.  $4.45 per max spin.  On the fifth or sixth spin I hit for $265.  Out the door with $243.25 extra bucks in my pocket.  The casino floor felt very uncomfortable to me-low ceiling with chandeliers hanging so low you almost felt like you needed to duck to walk under them.  I actually felt like I was in the basement.
