Caesers downgrades

Gone. Everything is gone.

Was there last night; that pretty much sums it up. This was a wall-to-wall scorched-earth purge. Even all of the BP was shorted to 7/5. Even the $100 machines are 8/5 jacks and 7/5 bonus. Everything is gone, unless they accidentally missed a machine or two. If you find a good machine, I'd recommend keeping it to yourself. Even if there are no "spys", the machine would probably get tied up 24/7 by visitors and locals alike, so you'd never get to play it.

On the plus side (such as it is), their new "Diamond Gym" in the Augustus tower (floor 2) is spectacular. And huge - I literally got lost while touring it! It is larger than several motels in town. I'll probably drop a few pounds now as my planned 1 hour workouts tended to shrink to 30 minutes owing to my inability to promptly pry myself away from the machines. On the other hand, the new gym is only a few feet away from the Diamond Club and their endless supply of free chocolate-covered strawberries...oh well, lose some, gain some.

I heard a rumor there used to be a 10-play for quarters with a bunch
of good paytables on it, until people started talking way too much
about it, then it got published in the LVA which is the ultimate kiss
of death. It disappeared less than 48 hours after publication in LVA.

Let's say hypothetically you found an 8-5 Bonus with 4% theoretical.
Let's say, also hypothetically, that you decided to publish it's
location here. Even though the play is marginal at best, anyone now
want to bet it would be gone within 48 hours?

Well, I was waiting for confirmation from a trusted source and this is it. I was hopeful that they left a few crumbs. In less than a year this has gone from one of the best tourist plays on the Strip to just another shiny casino where I have nothing to do. Time to move it downtown. I'm down to about 2 Harrah's casinos where I can play any vp.

One thing to take heart in: Good plays tend to ebb and flow like the
tide (though with a far more irregular rhythm). This is true even at
some Harrah's properties.

Were I ever to write, the first title would be "Zen and the Art of
Video Poker Finesse".
