You have to modify the link from photobucket a bit.

It has to look something like this (plus a closing endbracket):



GWAE; when you are in a reply or quote, look at the bottom right; a link, which opens in a new window, gives you the formatting codes for pictures, links, quotes, etc. It just takes a minute to decipher, plus a website upload of the image your link can point to (ie Photobucket)

Oh the casino is Cleveland. I guess it really does not matter if I say which one it is.

I always thought a hand pay was triggered at $1200 but I hit the royal below which triggered a hand pay. It was on a progressive though so maybe that is why. Next time I am at that casino I will ask them to see what their hand pay policy is.

The picture that I was trying to post was a hand pay for a progressive VP win at $1110

Can I not post pics on this forum? I tried copying links from photobucket like I do on other forums.



That's cool, I'll try to call them tomorrow, but it may end up being Monday.

I'll also figure out what the hand pay policy is on the same call.

I'll try to remember that! I don't imagine that they go on the lookout for this sort of thing for days after this phone call, they probably forget about it five minutes later.

I think you're overreacting a little here. It takes fraud on the massive scale ala "Race to Rewards" for CET to care (year 1: 1 tier credit per card/destination to earn up to $600 in comps; year 2: 25 Tier per card/destination to earn up to $750 in comps; year 3: forget about it). And considering how tight CET is with most of their machine games, they aren't going to flip out over a phone call like this slash their employees won't send the question to someone higher up to able to tighten the comp screws even further. Considering the current CET Vegas setup, what kind of advantage could Mission have screwed you over on?

Would it be better for Mission not to bother? Possibly, I dunno. But anyone concerned would just play nonprogressive video poker for quarters or less, and in my humble opinion, that is a reasonable penance for playing others free play especially since I could likely play up to $1000 coin-in/hr of it at the quarter level...

The Ohio CET casinos have the most generous promotional stance in the country right now and for the last couple months. It's beyond insane. Similar to how Harrah's Philadelphia was a while ago. I'm pretty sure even high limit slot players could be plus E.V. with the coupons they are sending out. Table game players are getting huge stuff, too.

YAY I figured it out. Don't bust my balls on how bad the pay table is. That is what we are stuck with around here which is still better than slots. sigh.... After I won this I went to the other side of the bank and wanted to play another $50. I sat down and the guy next to me angerly said. "Just to let you know, someone just hit the royal." I giggled inside and said thanks for letting me know.

Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed. I AM NOT PART OF GWAE RADIO SHOW

As someone else mentioned, all machines in the US are supposed to trigger a hand-pay on a win of $1200 or more. The truth is, every machine has a configuration option to set the limit at whatever the casino wants. I have seen casinos that trigger a hand pay at as low as $400. I have also seen machines that don't trigger at $1200 because they were configured incorrectly.

When I am wokring on building a new platform I set the hand-pay levels and jackpot levels to very small numbers so it is easier to test all of the scenarios.
