New card level

TomG — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 19:15:21 +0000

even people with limited accounts can get seven star, so makes sense to add something more. going from diamond to 7s is worth like a little more than $1500 for me, so going from 7s to this new one *should* be worth double that, since it takes double the tc. obvious and easy way to do it would be, $600 monthly bets, an extra $1000 celebration meals, cruise plus retreat plus 50000 reward credits (or any combination, i/d just take the reward credits). that would make the total value about $10,000, plus all the rc we earn along the way. would be nice. big downside would be if it/s like the old seven stars which wasn/t automatic and could get our bets looked at. those of us backed off of the vegas drink tickets would still probably not get them, even at like $3 million in action for the year.

End of my AP road?

I don't need AP $ to survive. I view +EV as a fun hobby that's also profitable.
But for the past couple of years i'm feeling that this hobby is getting stale.

If you don't need it to survive, that probably eliminates most or all of the stress.
If it's stale, take a break. I figure in 5 or 6 years, the industry will have one of those "everything old is new again" moments, and there will actually be interesting games.

Otherwise, a lot of people seem to have started slot channels. I think most of the savvy ones keep any AP activities off-camera, as spinning, grinning, and winning gets more engagement.

Mississippi Stud with 3 visible cards

gordonm888 — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 14:59:02 +0000

IN MStud you start with two cards. High cards are J-A, Medium cards are 6-T. Low cards are 2-5.

1) If you start with two cards that are H+L (such as J-2) you should normally play/bet 1X. But if you see a card amongst the three revealed cards that matches the rank of your high card you should Fold.

2) If you start with a suited 65 your EV is -0.96 when you bet1X which is better than folding (EV= -1.0). Thus, you should bet 1X. However, if the three revealed cards contain a 'bad card' - such as a 6, 5,7 or two cards in the same suit as yours then you should fold.

3) If you are dealt a suited QJ you should normally bet 1X. However, if the three revealed cards have no cards in your suit and are all in the range 2-8, then I would Bet 3X.

4) Basic strategy when you are dealt a Low Pair, such as 55, is to Bet 3X. However, if the 3 revealed cards contain one of the cards of matching rank, then you should Bet1X; if you are dealt 55 and both of the other two 5s are in the three revealed cards then you should Fold.

5) If you reach fourth street with four points (High =2, Med =1, Low =0) and no straight or flush possibility the basic strategy is to Bet1X. However, if the three revealed cards contain at least one card that would pair one of your High or Medium cards, then you should FOLD. Otherwise BET 1X.

Of the above five rules, the two that will improve your EV the most are (1) and (5)

A couple of games I came across at Plaza

Second, there appeared to be a combinaton of roulette and what I remember as "the airplane game." I think it worked like this:
If you make a single-number bet, the machine generates both a starting odds and a maximum odds for the bet. The odds then go up gradually, and you can decide to accept the odds at any point, but if they reach the maximum, you "bust" and the odds for the bet become 25-1.

Is that happening during the spin?

I didn't see it played. It should work the same whether played before, during, or after the spin.

Quote: ThatDonGuySo, in other words, the payouts for 6 coins are:
Royal 4000
Straight Flush 750
Four Aces 1200
Four 2-4s 600
Four 5-Ks 400
Full House 50
Flush 25
Straight 20
Three of a Kind 15
Two Pair 10
Jacks or Better 5
Enter these numbers; this should give you the correct strategy.
Divide the expected return by 6 to get the actual ER.
When I do it, the returned value is 5.960720, so the actual expected return is 5.960720 / 6 = 0.993453.
