Anyone know of any "decent" games in this Harrah's casino in Canada?
I tried calling the slot people, but the pay tables they read to me were so horrible, I can't believe anyone would play them.
Who would play 7-5 Jacks or Better? Or 6-5 Bonus Poker,? For example.
Even the pick-em poker was bad.
There is going to be a 5x multiplier when were are there and I was wondering if there is anything worth playing? Anyone know?
Caesars Windsor, Canada?
Nothing playable at all there when I was there last. Everything is short-pay including the slots.

lol You called the slot people? You called the casino and asked someone to read the video poker pay tables to you? That is just too much. Wow.

Sure I called. Why not? I can't find out any information online. No one has posted anything about this casino. They were quite helpful, saying their pay tables were "competitive to others in the area. NO wonder people fly to Vegas to gamble!

Because it's something you don't really want to do. If you're a skilled blackjack player, do you call the casino ahead of your visit and ask them about deck penetration? I mean, maybe in the old days not so long ago, but nowadays there's heat on an ever-worsening video poker situation, you just don't even want to discuss pay tables with casino people. Keep your thoughts to yourself, go there and check it out for yourself, and if you don't want to make the trip without seeing someone else's previous review of the place, then don't go. It's that simple. Use your head. And not only is it just a dumb thing to do, but you can't count on what they tell you anyway. In the good old days casino personnel didn't even know what good pay tables were. One was as good as another.

I think you're being a little paranoid. I don't think a phone call about pay tables would make a casino change its machines. I do agree that the information one might receive on the phone is likely to be a lot less reliable that what is available here. I suspect that there are only two or three people in a typical casino who know or care about what paytables they have on the floor and you aren't likely to get one of them on the phone.

It is true that Caesars Windsor has some bad paytables, like most of Ontario, but they are playable machines. I get to Windsor about 4 times a year. For some reason i get lots of 4 of a kinds when i play there. Also it is the only place i get straight flushes on the Pick-a-Pair machines. Might be bad paytables but they sure are fun machines. On another note the buffet is great, rooms very comfortable and the view of the detroit river is nice. Plus their diamond lounge is open later and with good food. Not the wings and nachos like Vegas.
Good Luck!

I must be going blind or our understanding of the term playable is vastly different.
To me a playable machine must be at least very close to 99% i.e. 9/7 DB or airport deuces or 9/6 DDB or better. If I recall the inventory at Windsor, the best they have barely approaches 98%. I used to love the place when they had FP Pick-Em, and also used to go quarterly, and I agree that the VIP lounge is excellent and the buffet is good although overpriced.

Albert,
I totally agree with you. However, what is playable is differenet to different people. That is why I am constantly chiding posters on here to quantify their statements that "the machines are totally unplayable"
I see people criticized for playing less than 100% machines. Some claim that anyone who plays less than 100% should save their money and go to Vegas, totally disregarding the cost of travel , which has the effect of making the effective return negative.
So, I urge all posters to quantify the term "playabel" like Albert did in his posting. And if they are "unplayable" quantitfy those also and let the reader decide.
I think we're going to need to be MORE paranoid in the future. Things ain't what they used to be, and in my opinion you go to the place and put in the leg work, that's all. You want to know what's playable, then go look. You can certainly check vpfree, but it's foolish to call them and ask, for the reasons I stated. Sounds like this place doesn't have any good machines you have to worry about losing, but what if they snuck in a good one by mistake? What if your phone call woke them up to it? Check it out yourself, and learn to keep one's mouth shut, and you might have a good play for awhile. It happens. I know it happens. And loose lips sink ships.
And once again, I think my blackjack analogy was a good one. If you're a counter, you don't call ahead and ask about deck penetration. I mean, duh.

Apples and oranges here. Deck penetration and such are things that only skilled blackjack players would know about. VP paytables are much more widely understood; moreover, they are publicly available information. The writer was simply calling to ask, and the casino employees were nice enough to give the information freely. Besides, with those crappy paytables, what do they have to fear? (And if they want to know who you are, just lie about your identity, It's a phone call, after all.)

Deck penetration is also widely published on the Internet.
And Caller ID is functional for identifying the caller.

I agree with all said -- In Indiana they had one 25c machine that was over 100%!! It only lasted a month and they changed it. I asked some slot supervisors and noboidy knew anything about anything.

Wow, I have to express caution on good games defined as less than 100% TOTAL retrurn. A $1 VP gamber at a liesurely pace is putting through $3K/hour. You losing $30/hour if E.V. is 99% TOTAL return.
Also, would you believe alchohol reduces E.V. or some other distraction :-), annonyance, interesting scenery......

I never said that a 99% return is good. I said that a 99% return is playable. If you throw comps, CB, and BB into the equation you can get good value for your play while still being a small net loser on your gambling. Like I said before you have to look at the whole package. At Windsor with their 98% machines and stingy BB, and CB and even Comps you couldn't drag me there.

They still don't know what a "good" pay table is. I just wanted to know if there was something playable, so I can bring money along if there is. If there isn't I won't bring a bankroll to play. We are going there for another convention, but staying a few days early to check out Canada.

If you're a skilled blackjack player, do you call the casino ahead of your visit and ask them about deck penetration? I mean, maybe in the old days not so long ago, but nowadays there's heat on an ever-worsening video poker situation, you just don't even want to discuss pay tables with casino people. Keep your thoughts to yourself, go there and check it out for yourself, and if you don't want to make the trip without seeing someone else's previous review of the place, then don't go. It's that simple. Use your head. And not only is it just a dumb thing to do, but you can't count on what they tell you anyway. In the good old days casino personnel didn't even know what good pay tables were. One was as good as another.
