CET downgrades "Carnival" games in LV

[Mauretania]

A player reported that CET downgraded all the STP, UX, etc.. to 6/5 BP, 7/5 DDB etc...up to but not including $5 level.

It's getting to be the new normal

Kinda like resort fees, once one place does it, the rest will eventually follow.

Can you please explain what that means? Are you talking about video poker?

[Luckylinda123]

Yes video poker these have extra bets. Multi lines, play more than one game at a time. Will get a multiplier come up then if have a win it will be times that much.
I rarely play these as my money lasts longer on one game at a time. If I do play I drop to nickel and not all games so unless it is a Huge win don't get as much as quarters.

thanks Linda

Just curious what the "typical" pay tables are for these games?
My experience is limited but I thought the pay tables were already low.
Lol, can't imagine playing $5 denom on these.. Would make for some serious bets, out of my league for sure!

First the table games...now VP. That's what 2 billion debt will do. I'm glad I cashed in most of my RC over the weekend. They might get those, too!!

Clemi, yes, they usually are lower, especially on BP within the carnival games. I have seen STP full-pay. If I remember correctly, Wynn had STP DDB @ 9/6 at the $ level and you could play one line for a $6 bet and still get the multipliers, if you were lucky. I hope luvstp weighs in, she would remember that particular Wynn paytable.
