Nice FPDW day. Even without the deuces hit, it would only have been a fifty dollar loss for your two hours of play, assuming 425/hr. Keep the hell away from 6/5 BP. That is all.

Good advice FAA. Hit another quad deuce yesterday, details on the youtube. Suffice to say, was a butt saver. Started with a session BR of $300, was at one point down to $40 bucks. But ended up plus $18 for the session....6/5 bonus poker is laughable, but if the royal progressive goes up to around $2350...another story. Cheers

tonight was the opposite. Hit a quad deuce right away....within 100 hands I'd say. FPDW .25c single line. Decided to call it when I dropped down to +$150. Always nice to flop it, isn't it? At any rate, on to the next.Not much to add except I thought it was funny that the machine I normally play on had the same hand I left with yesterday, 4 deuces with a 6. Nobody decided to play it in about 24 hours, probably thought the deuces were spent since it was proudly displayed. Well, they were obviously mistaken. Cheers.

On JOB, post quad it costs me min $20 to catch the next one. Just start fresh. There is usually a hot cycle right off the bat with me before I am fleeced.

Speaking of which...he heDecided to earn some points and comps, played ugly deuces triple play quarters...cost me $195 to earn $60 dollar cash back. Not such a great deal. But it was alot of fun to play. Will definitely give it another go soon for I need some variety for sure.Cheers

Made up back for it tonight. Went to play triple play .25c ugly deuces again and hit a quad deuce right away...cashed out up $300. But stumbled on a progressive .25c single line bonus poker machine and dropped a hundred of it. So +$200. I'm liking the triple deuce game. Might be playing more of it. Earning points for play is nice too. Obviously FPDW is a better game, but so tired of the long sessions and not earning a damn thing. In about two hours of play, I can play about 2200-2400 hands of FPDW single line (about a whopping $2.30 cash back) or with triple play ugly deuce, can play about 6000-6500 hands in two hours (giving me about $24.80 cash back with full points and multipliers).Yah, the ER of FPDW still beats ugly deuces with full points and multipliers, but it's nice to earn points and comps and keep my top level card status.Cheers

Hard to beat a positive game, but figuring in cashback it might be close.
Personally, I can play 99.8% games at one casino - but I essentially get no mailed and the pittance in food comps are of no value to me. The buffet is gross and the steakhouse is expensive.
At my other casino games are 99% - 99.5% (maybe more depending on progressives) but I get decent mailers and comps for restaurants I will actually eat at. FP of $15 - $20 twice a week with occasional FP doubled on Friday or Sunday. Because my sessions are only an hour or two (max) the freeplay makes up for much of the ER drop. This casino is only a mile from work so a hit and run is easy and convieniet. Do that too many times and mailers plummet.
Comparing the two is a close call.

I'd only play ugly deuces if there was a point multiplier going on. Top level at Stations? Chairman takes quite a commitment with a six month expiration window.

This is typical to most casinos.

I haven't played much at stations but thinking of starting to go again to build up my slot card level again. Does anyone know if u earn full points for their 99.8% games? I know I played fpdw there once and it earned 1 pt per $12 coin-in (awful) and nothing else. Any recommendation on games there, esp. Triple play that are good and earn points?
Also noticed they have the 99.9% triple deuces. But not sure if my stomache is ready for that roller coaster.

Triple play .25c ugly deuces again, quad deuce right
away. Cashed out up $300. But stumbled on a progressive .25c single
line BP machine and dropped a hundred. So +$200. I'm
liking the triple deuce game. Might be playing more of it. Earning
points for play is nice too. Obviously FPDW is a better game, but so

back with full points and multipliers).----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Similar issue. Long sessions and not moving the comp meter on FPJOB quarters. My solution is to abandon the bank after my free play! The progressive usually sucks anyway. Yesterday, $1,004. Thanks but no thanks. It was pulling teeth to snatch $19 from the $25 of play. I finally voted with my feet and took my ticket to the dollar bank. I cranked out comp with the same odds. Details soon in my AC thread.
