what games to play on monaco now?

MarkSummers · #1 11-29-2004, 11:26 PM

I'm probably not the only one who got screwed on the whole monaco gold casino bonus but now that I got the money in there, I want it back. What are the best (and fastest) games besides the outlawed ones that I should use to clear the bonus. I await answers from all you experienced whores [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

thanks in advance.

I like Pai Gow a lot, its fun and lots of pushes make it okay, but the house edge is still pretty high.

what game has the lowest edge?

I used Jacks or better and just cashed out at 440.00 for a +240 profit.

There is definitely more variance than BJ, but I did .50 max bets for a total $2.50 per bet and it's not so bad. You have to play a decent amount of hands but the variand levels out which is good.

Use the guide on www.wizardofodds.com for perfect strategy. You can find the house edge for other games as well if you are interested. I recommend Jacks or Better though.

I cleared it with Pai Gow too, it goes extremely fast since you can just use the mimic the house option and burn through hands without really paying attention. Also the variance is pretty small because you push a lot. The big disadvantage of course is the high house edge, so it really depends on what youre looking for. If you have the time video poker is probably the best, if not stick with Pai Gow.

I might also add that the high variance in VP is largely from the high payout of the rare royal. I think it was posted here that its about a 40,000:1 shot, and since it takes about 4000 hands to clear the bonus, you would expect to hit it about 1/10 of the time. Simply put, this means that 9/10 times your expectation is about the same as PaiGow and 1/10 times you will hit a nice payday. So if you like to gamble while youre gambling VP is probably for you.

I cleared it with 5 pound bets in just over an hour. But I was getting lucky and finished up a decent amount in addition to the bonus. Hope youre pulling out a comeback...

Collect the money after each bet on video poker. Those things are just scams to get you to bet more money each time which will increase your variance dramatically.

Down to 254 after BJ is no good. Did you use perfect strategy? How much were you betting a hand? I guess you could bet $5 a hand and use perfect strat and go down that low but that is sure some bad luck.
