Slot games, Casino Rewards & Privileges

The strategy sounds right but not practical.

I don't play slots so I shall defer to your expertise on this. Can you please share why it is not practical?

I would rather suggest you to go to those mystery progressive prizes slot area. These progressive prizes where they usually set a max amount (eg $5,000) if you see the progressive amount already $4,200 -$4,500, it's likely to release prize soon. I won 3 times of these progressive prizes at RWS with this method. I missed a few times because I've choosen the wrong machine. :(

This is actually the same principle as what I had posted. By setting a max jackpot on the progressive, they practically rule out a positive expectations game from ever occuring. The good part of playing these slots is that you don't have to meticulously keep a record of the progressive jackpots which makes it good for a casual/lazy player. The bad part obviously is the loss of the chance of ever playing any positive expectations slot.

You can upgrade your standard room to suite room if you wish by using 500+ premier dollar for 1 night stay at orchid suite.
Think, it is necessary?
The standard is quite good already, if you are lucky, you receive a deluxe room which is bigger, comfortable, high floor with nice view.

I DID ask for a nice 'city bay view' room as opposed to the messy construction sea-view & also Non-Smoking room
As to the actual room given at time of check-in, fingers crossed that it'll be a higher-floor one [Above Flr 15] & a Deluxe one
On the website seems that the Deluxe is more expensive by just about $20 or so ??
If desired is it possible to ask to "upgrade" to a Deluxe with $20-30 Premier Dollars - if only Standard Room given at check-in ??

Have checked that breakfast is NOT included
If we want the RISE B/F - costs $38+++ each
Is there any convenient online menu with prices for our pre-study ???
Suppose we can utilise the Blazing 3s $10/$20 Discount Vouchers with expiry dates [or even the Premier Dollars for this - but think using for as many boxes of mooncakes here should be much better value/usage ?]
[btw - must I pay the GST on the free room here ?? How much ???]

What other TIPS for this complimentary hotel stay ???
eg. Can we go up to the SkyPark whenever/as many times as we wish ?

Are they really that 'strict' on their 3pm check-in and b4 11am checkout ?
Thought standard check-out time is usually 12 noon.
Then again, more of my/our time may well be spent at the casino instead ? :p

BTW - this afternoon is AGAIN my lucky day !!!
Won almost $1.5k playing the B1 GiantPanda slot
Moved onto that slot from Sabre-Toothed Tiger slot - changed my mind on occupying Slot 1 [once an uncle left it] and went for Slot 2 instead after this old lady said she's had enough
My lucky timing - because very close to the Rescue Spin etc ....
Also had the feature WITHIN the feature and bc I'd strategically INCREASED my bet credits - one spin there earned me my HIGHEST ever at 25k credits = $500 for a 2ct slot :then multiplied by over 2x in Rescue Spin ----> all-in almost $1.5k pure profit for the day !!!
A few repeats of such wins and I'll HUAT BACK my investment/losses :p

THIS TIME I was VERY Disciplined
Left almost immediately after [but wasted $60 1st at L1 Power Platinum] to make it in time for my complimentary hair-scalp treatment [which was fixed on the spot today while playing the GiantPanda when the call came : an earlier call from a long-neglected spa resulted in my fixing a facial appointment there next week]

U know - that tip on choosing the progressives
There are SO MANY linked machines
WHICH to choose [from among those that are free/available] ?
At the end of the day - boils down to pure plain LUCK again I think !


Can anyone pls tell me WHY my fav position 2 Power Platinum slot [from LHS - 1st batch] now can begin with only the 60 credits button - the 30 credits button is LOCKED/can't be played !!
Izzit because some lucky guy has won too much there and they're now restricting play from only 60-credit onwards ????

If you want a nice room, timing is everything. Suggest you find out official check out time and check in 1 hr before the offical check out time. This time usually has the number of free rooms available (too early, previous guests have not left, too late, all good rooms taken).

When you are checking in, make a request to the girl at the desk. Indicate that you are a very light sleeper. Tell her also that you are allergic to dust which can cause to have a running nose.

Given that you are a premier customer, they will do their best to look after you. They will try to give you the room you are looking for or possibly upgrade you for free if there isn't any good room available. This is because the girl would not want to risk putting you in a room facing the construction site. This is because you had stated the request up front. If she puts you in a room facing the construction, you could kick up a fuss about being kept up all night and/or having a allergic attack.

Eeeek : Stale MBS Sandwiches

Decided to take supper at home since dinner would have been 'tarpaued' for me tonight and also 'waste not want not' : better 'preserve' my Premier Dollars for proper meals + buying the mooncakes etc

Then thought I might as well takeaway the MBS sandwiches
- one of each variety (Egg Mayo & Turkey Ham Cheese)
- NOT payable with Premier Dollars and thus paid $8 [$4 x 2] for them
Walau - on opening the packs at home discovered they'd gone stale
- lettuce etc was all off, threw them away as didn't want to risk getting diarrhoea :(

Must complain/feedback to MBS Management
- the staff should ensure that only FRESH sandwiches are sold and to discard those after a certain no. of hours
I didn't check mine at point of sale [knock my head !!! ]
-they MUST have been at least 18 hours old judging from the overall look & smell ......
Eeeeeks - no more such sandwiches for me ... ... ...
Safer to rely on Instant Noodles [if I really have to]
Come to think of it : I'd also eaten a sandwich there sometime last month and got an upset tummy the next morning

Today discovered the GoldFish slot - pretty fun to play
Overall ended up with some losses [tho' started out quite well as usual ... ]

 

[volcanolee]

Re: Eeeek : Stale MBS Sandwiches

Yup. Goldfish are fun but eat up ur capital fast if few round no goldfish bonus. Just last Saturday I saw a lady play max 250 credit n boy.... She was very lucky. Hit the goldfish gold color fish bonus for 20 free games. N from 20 free game hit another 7 free games with 10x multiplier. If I remember correctly, that round she won about 40,000 credits

Hello jjcc88,

book your room asap to aviod the full occupancy! I have lost my complimentary rooms in August and was told that the rooms have been fully taken up for the month.....
Do not waste your premier dollars on the BFs, the foods are sucks and not worthwhile at all.You can try the lunch which is 45++, not too bad..compare to the dinner, I think the buffet lunch is much more worthwhile to go for.
The check in time can be from 2pm onwards and you may request for 12pm check out.
Rooms are given 100% complimentary,therefore you need not have to pay a single cents or even the GST..no worries!!
Need not have to waste your premier dollars for upgrading...the premier deluxe room are good enough...

Enjoy your stay.

Thanks !
Yes - have already booked my rooms last week and got the booking confirmation emails.
One night this coming weekend [before my Europe trip next Mon-Tues AM]
and 2nd night immediately on return to Singapore the very next day [bc of F1 Non-Booking days etc very limited choice of possible days bc not going to apply any leave for such...]

I was thinking of going for breakfast at that Coffee Bean place near the casino instead

The SkyPark - can we go up as and when we like ???

 

[volcanolee]

just back from MBS... Play Goldfish and luck on my side i got 1st line symbol and wild for all line.. won about 8000credits..

8000 credits on a 5ct slot = $400 ?
Not bad at all

 

[jjcc88]

Tonight Tues simply spent 3 hrs at the Goldminer slot and barely an hour at Power Platinum [only these 2 slots played]
Managed to contain my losses to only $60 : for 4-hours' play
Can be considered a not-bad 'lucky' day here

Also from Blazing 3s swipes - got my 1st Hotel Upgrade voucher that's valid until Nov - must use that 'properly' on a future "full weekend" stay then :p
Too 'engrossed with playing Power Platinum' to make my final swipe before 11 pm !!!

Hmmm ... from before 11.30pm timing, the cabs are already 'in hiding for the midnite charge' ???
Changed my mind on taking cab and took express bus home instead

Tomorrow Wed afternoon I will be back at MBS -
see how it goes - as to how long to stay there
Sep would be about my last month to savour my Wed PMs off :(

Sighzzz from 1st Oct, I'll be 'sacrificing' my Wed PMs Off
[Fri PMs Off still retained making it an 85% work-week for me from Oct]
- so as to 'compromise' with request to work 'more hours' so that my secretaries will have 'less stress with me still around in office ... '
- have agreed to work an extra 2 hours [5%] at adjusted pro-rata pay [and also going-off work at 5.30pm rather than the standard 6pm Mon - Thurs ... hope to be able to beat the usual huge crowds then as well as not having further late appointments etc I really hated these late ones as the clients are bound to be late and caught up in peak hour traffic etc .... ]

Why is it not practical because you have no idea how often the progressive prizes were releazed each day at these 2 casinos. If you are NOT a regular,
this is what's happening at RWS,
Island paradize 2cts
2nd progressive prize (max 5k) every 2 days,
1st progressive (max 50k) 4-7days.

Fafafa
2nd progressive (min 20k) 3-5days and recently almost 3 times a week or even daily.
1st progressive (min 200k) so far only released once at 490k. Current 500+k,
Gold rush
2nd progressive (max 10k), release every 2 days,
1st progressive (max 100k), twice a week,
Dreamwaver
2nd (max 5k), once every week,
1st (max 100k) every 2 week.
Bank Buster, cash trains, and so many others.....

Slot game is not a game about winning, it is more about entertainment, fun, enjoyment. You play with luck, if you are lucky, you can have fun and win at same time. Unfortunately, most people can't win the games, thus, i always like to advice fellow players, learn how to minimize lost to get max fun, don't be stubborn, don't continue playing a machine that don't payout, learn to GIVEUP.

 

[jjcc88]

Hi Kia0042 - any idea on the 'progressive frequency' for the MBS slots

Pls someone answer me on the SkyPark question :
can we go up there anytime & as many times as we want etc during our hotel stay ???

MICE Level 1 [for mooncakes] : will be opposite - over the casino side
Must ask INFO Counter exactly where .....

 

[aurvandil]

Why is it not practical because you have no idea how often the progressive prizes were releazed each day at these 2 casinos. If you are NOT a regular,

The cardinal assumption is that you have to be a regular that goes once to twice a week. If you go once in six months, then this is useless. For Genting they publish the value of their most popular progressives and whether they have been struck. You can therefore monitor online and go down only when the progressive you like looks good.

I have seen many of frens who play progressives try to remember how much the jackpot was last time they played and whether it is worth playing when they are at the casino. Seemed only logical that you make a log of your fav slots so you know what is good to play.

The emergence of syndicates who play aggressively progressives/lottery when they turn positive is quite well known on the internet. Instead of sitting still and losing money, the casinos can be expected to come up with counter measures like the mystery progressive you wrote about earlier.

Definitely a topic for further investigation if they lift the levy and Singaporeans are able to go in for free.

I agree with Kia.

Slot game is really more on entertain and fun.

I'm addicted to slot since the first time i went Genting 18 years back and thru the years, i realize the kick on slots is more on the hopes for incredible formations, free games, bonus, etc.

I dun really go casino with the mindset to win money at slots per se, more to satisfy my addiction.

Of course, winning is good and losing is bad -universal truth no doubt.

Whether win or lose, strong self discipline is Very important when it's time to leave - i not ashamed to admit i sometimes leave even if i win 1 or 2 hundred bucks.. as long as i got my kick settled.

The progressive prize release "frequency" at MBS is not as good as RWS, which someone has mentioned before. However, it does not mean they don't release, it's just more difficult to "monitor" when is it going to "drop". MBS has given away 5 or 6 Fafafa 1st progressive prizes and RWS only once. MBS gives BIG one more often while RWS gives mini mini prizes daily.

Sky park, I never visit, I heard that you just need to show your room card and you can enter as many times as you wish (as long as within the skypark human traffic)
