RE: Whee lPoker Dluxe..is it just me?

Post by prseveranc »

I've been a fan of Wheel Poker since it was introduced.  I started to play Wheel Poker Deluxe Double Double Bonus 5 play on the VP site here.  Over the past 3 weeks I can remember maybe one quad, all bonus rounds triggered by 3 of a kind dealt have produced very lackluster results.  If I'm lucky maybe a $200 bonus.  I don't think I have have ever had a winning session.  Is this game's volatility off the chart or "is it just me"?


Anybody?

I do MUCH better at regular Wheel Poker than Wheel Poker Deluxe. I know of at least three casinos that had regular Wheel Poker in, and then took it out. I suspect what you are experiencing is real, reinforced by the fact that the casinos removed a good, win-able, game.

I love regular Wheel Poker, but it seems like no casino wants it as it has been taken out of every casino I played it at. Why can't they allow us one good game!

You know the answer, MWS, PROFIT.  If they can still get us to play on more casino-profitable games, that's what they will do. The fact you love it means it pays well, and that's a casino no-no.

Keep in mind that casinos remove/replace machines and games based on the cash flow they generate and what the payback % is according to their estimate. a floor or gaming supervisor will listen to your requests but bottom line is how much it will earn for the casino.
