MyVegas real rewards in vegas

There is no such thing as optimal strategy. What that guy doesn't realize is that you don't have to end a bet on the exact amount needed to fill the gold bubble for the gold chips. If you bet over the amount needed, then it carries over to fill the next bubble. Basically choose the most fun game and spin away. The ratio of gold chips earned is fixed to the amount of red chips bet so it matters not in the long run if you bet all your red chips in one spin or 100 spins, except that in the short term you might lose all your red chips.

ie 10 spins @ 10,000 per spin has more variance than 100 spins @ 1000 per spin. In theory over the long term you would lose chips at the same rate regardless and therefore earn the same total number of gold chips.

As you are still in the casino building phase, either choice would also earn you the exact same amount of experience.

Another high variance strategy is to take your daily spin and bet it all on blackjack and try and double up and then spin. I do this if I am running low on chips and don't feel there is any other way I can complete a puzzle bonus without more chips.

I mostly use the betrock game just because it has the least number of bonus games that interrupt your autospinning. Since I want to invest the least amount of time playing, the autospin is very handy.

Card Dead

That's what I thought also. Just wanted to confirm with someone further along.

Right now I'm sticking with min bets at Excalibur as it seems to be more profitable than the other options available right now. I don't mind the Bonuses at this point since they're pretty lucrative and I only have 25 max autospins anyways.

Are there any sites that list the best rewards, i.e., lowest points per dollar value of reward? I can see why some can get addicted and spend way too much time on this game, but I don't understand yet how I can get any rewards by spending < 5 minutes/day.

Check in, do your daily spin, collect your chips. Done.

As you build your casinos, the casinos will randomly pay out red chips (playable) or gold chips (exchangeable for rewards). So you will earn gold chips without doing anything but collecting once a day.

When there is some sort of reward bonus, spin away your chips, collecting the reward as a discount against your losses. Spinning will build your casinos and earn you the coveted gold chips.

Install the myvegas app on your phone and use your downtime to accumulate more gold chips.

EZ game.

Since Sept, doing this I have earned about 255000 gold chips over about 27 weeks or just under 10k gold chips a week and I have had the phone app only since Jan.

My wife plays it a little more diligently than me (but no phone app) and has well over 300k gold chips in the same period. I should also mention that she joined facebook only for the myVegas game, and has all of two friends. So you can do it and have no friends!

Thanks. I wish I had installed this app in my 2 iPods, iPad, & Android tablets for the many hours that Fallsview made poker players wait on every visit. :-[ Do you double your points if you play on your PC and other devices at the same time?

Can you redeem for five or more days' worth of room comps at a time or are you limited to three days? What's the difference betweena "Comp Room Bonus" and "Comp Room" (12K vs 20K for the forum favourite of Circus Circus)?

moose

The bonus is available on very limited days.

It is 3 rewards per account per rolling 30 day period. Best value is shows or the high end rooms.

Let me google that for you

Thanks for the link & other replies. After spending over a month with four synced devices and getting to level 39 but not even enough points to redeem for one night at Circus Circus (20,000), :-[ I have to agree with the recent reviews that MyVegas is not worth the huge total amount of time spent on it for non-gamers like me who would play it only for the rewards. One can earn more money with all that time through even online poker freerolls, or save almost as much using the many quick money-saving methods.

I'll spend the minimum amount of time on it to redeem something when I go to Las Vegas this summer, such as buffets. I'll try to attend the MyVegas Meetup at Aria on June 9 including the Mystery Bag Tradition, if I'm not busy playing the Legends Classic Series or SPT. Was anybody here one of the 571 guests at the MyVegas Road Trip to Toronto last November?

It's really not a game worth playing if you're just staring at the screen actually playing the game. I have the game running in the background and just check it occasionally to collect bonuses then let it roll again. I've collected a fair amount of credits and am not even sure when I'm going to vegas yet, but when I do I'll probably be able to stay there for free the whole time and have at least half of the meals comp'd plus see a few shows.

Since this post Mar. 4 I'm now up to 312000 gold chips and I do little more than log in once per day, set it to autospin and go away. I have hardly touched it the last two weeks. I haven't even started playing the Easter promo yet.

My wife actually plays and she has gone from 300k to 437k in the same period.

All I can say is yur doing it wrong. ????

Pretty much this - 9 days out of 10 I just login, get my daily bonus and I call it a day.

Just signed up for MyVegas 2 days ago. Lets see how long it takes to accumulate gold chips. So far I have only unlocked 10 auto spins. I can't wait to unlock 200 auto spins so I can leave it while I do more important things.

trigs

i decided to get this about a week ago as well. figured what the hell.

btw, not sure if anyone has noticed this but there are big differences between the facebook app and the android app. yes, the games are different, but that's not what i'm talking about. the amount of points you accumulate are very different. my gf plays on her tablet and i use my laptop on facebook, and facebook generates WAY more loyalty points. she plays more than i do yet i have more than double her points.

moose

It's true, the phone app gives far less, mostly because the casinos you can build through facebook will randomly pay out in gold chips instead of the red chips.

However, I find that often I will pull out the laptop while I am watching tv and spin away on my phone at the same time for some double dipping.

If you saw my post in b&m forum, I just cashed in between my wife's account and I for 4 nights at Monte Carlo and one night at Aria (3 rewards total each account per 30 day period). I am holding one reward for either another night at Aria or some show tickets.

BlondeFish

I never did find any MyVegas webpage that bothered to tell you the bottom line of the value of the rewards and which are the best per loyalty points (LP) spent. Unlike most poker or gaming sites, it seems that MyVegas penalizes its most loyal players as the value becomes worse the higher LP you redeem, e.g., TWO free buffets require four times more LP than ONE free buffet! Since I already have eight free hotel nights, we'll probably redeem our ~95,000 LP and six rewards from among the following.

1) 4,500 LP - Mandalay Bay, Bayside 2-for-1 lunch/breakfast buffet (M-F 7 am - 2:30 pm); $21.99 (child 5-12, $12.99 to 11 am, $13.99 after 11 am). Value = $4.89 / K.

As per your analysis, intuitively I had decided the best value is show tickets, and then rooms, depending on the cost. Since with rooms, you still have to pay the resort fee, using points for a low value room like Circus Circus, doesn't really save you much money because the resort fee is almost as much as the room cost.

However, using my LP for 4 nights Monte Carlo Fri-Tues where a regular room will be $174 on Fri and $194 on Sat does have value. (Total cost would be $506 + $22.40 daily resort fee).

The max value is the show tickets b/c there is no additional fee on top.

The reason for the heavy penalty for two tickets or two buffets on one redeem is because of the restriction on 3 rewards pp per 30 day period. Yes you can maximize your points by only redeeming a one ticket reward but then you would need to go back after 30 days to redeem more rewards. Maybe that is win/win/ ;)

So for my next trip, between my wife and I, we redeemed 5 rewards for 5 nights (one night Aria), and the last reward will go towards the two tickets/one redeem for the Zarkana show. (Currently at 196,000 LP, so almost there).

Tonychanman

My beef with the app is that you have to redeem within 90 days of buying the reward but then you can only buy 3 rewards per 30 day period. So if I want to book a trip to vegas semi-last minute, I'll be limited to 3 and not able to get much use of my 700k lp unless I spend them all on the really expensive rewards which are high point/dollar value ratio.

moose

No, you can only USE 3 rewards per 30 day period. You can buy as many rewards as you like, only limited by the number of LPs you have.

After buying the reward, you have 90 days to redeem the reward but the for show tickets and rooms, the day you book the reward can be anytime in the booking window listed with the reward. eg. I bought my room rewards on May 5, redeemed them right away and booked for Sept, more than 90 days away. Buffet rewards and other things have to be exchanged at the Mlife service desk on the day you use them, so those have to be purchased within the 90 day window.

blondefish, I worked out my $/k on my free rooms, and it came to $1.95/k

Tonychanman

Oh... that's even worse. I thought I'd be able to use up to 9 rewards on a quick trip to vegas if I booked them 30 days apart within 90 days. My wife doesn't play so it looks like I'm limited to just the 3. Bummer :(

BlondeFish

That's what I was hoping for, too. Since the lower LP 2-for-1 rewards counter-intuitively have the best value, I was hoping to redeem a few 2-for-1 rewards more than 30 days early, then redeem the rest when we're there on July 2-10.

The GTO ;) use of MyVegas seems to be for a couple (or pairs of forumers) to spend just enough time before a Vegas trip to get up to six 2-for-1 rewards, e.g., forum trips such as moose's. In Tonychanman's case, you & your wife can set up a second account so she can redeem three more 2-for-1 rewards that you both like.

Now that I finally made sense of MyVegas, it's time to work on a Nash Equilibria solution for NLHE with sn1perb0y, ReefAquarium, etc... ;)
