The first part of your post is correct. Unless the machine has reduced tier credit earnings (which is usually marked on the machine), you get one tier credit per $10 played. So, yes, if you run $50,000 of coin-in during a gaming day, you will earn 5000 tier credits, which will then earn you 10,000 bonus, and you've earned Diamond.Originally Posted by skyjo
Ok. If I'm doing the math correct:
You need 5,000 tier credits, then you get 10,000 bonus credits which gets you to the 15,000 Diamond level.
You earn 1 credit per 10 dollars bet.
Normally you'd have to bet $50,000 to get to 5,000 credits. But with the 10x multiplier you only need to bet $5,000.
At 100-play ($125/hand), you'd only have to play 40 hands to get to Diamond? Very quick! But a lot of variance.
At 10-play you'd need 400 hands.
At 1-play you'd need 4,000 hands.
10-play seems like a happy medium?
And a random question (I said I was a VP newb) : If you are doing the 100-play, and you get dealt a pat Royal Flush.... does that pay out as 100 Royal Flushes??
However, make sure you understand what the property's "gaming day" is. It's never midnight to midnight. It tends to run from 3:00am-2:59am, 4:00am-3:59am, 5:00am-4:59am, or 6:00am-5:59am. Even worse, most employees don't know this. Your best bet is going to the Caesars Rewards desk, ask for a supervisor, and find out.
To answer your final question, yes, if you get dealt a pat hand in a multi-play machine, and you hold it, you automatically get it on every other hand you're playing. Multi-play machines end up with FAR more emphasis on the dealt hand than the draw, whereas both the deal and draw are important on single-play hands. At a 100-play machine, your success or failure will almost completely depend upon the dealt hands you get. The huge advantage of 100-play is if you're dealt a monster (quads or better). The huge disadvantage of 100-play is if you're not dealt many good pat hands, you will get clobbered no matter what.
