I’m planning a day and night at the MGM Grand coming up soon so I figured I’d check the video poker pay tables available (from vpFREE, as always) and at the casinos on the four corners of Las Vegas Blvd. and Flamingo Tropicana. I was a little surprised by what I found.
Tropicana doesn’t have a denomination under $2 for 9/6 Jacks or Better (my game) and the MGM Grand has $1 9/6 Jacks. New York New York has 9/6 JoB as low as a quarter!
Seen as the lowest quality of the four properties it’s most surprising that Excalibur’s best video poker game is a 9/6 Bonus Poker (98.9), but that is available as little as a nickle denomination. I would play that, even though BP isn’t my favorite game.
See below for all of the video poker pay table for the casinos on Flamingo and Las Vegas Blvd.

Sorry to be a noodge but don’t you mean LV Blvd and Tropicana?
btw, I saw your post on vegaschatter about crapless craps. that game dates back to the days of Bob Stupak and his Vegas World casino, which pre-dates the Strat. there’s a great ‘trip report’ from the cheapovegas.com guys located here: http://www.bigempire.com/vegas/bobstupak.html
Thanks Mr. Noodge, fixed it! I do appreciate that. I think I’ll always get the damn cross streets wrong. Haha. Will check the TR later.
