As has been reported previously Harrah`s Joliet casino in Illinois
video poker has been Harrahized.
Last Friday Chicago Suntimes gaming column

Basicly says supply and demand. They don`t have to have better
video
poker as they have the customer supply. Which is true. When I used
to
go there they were packed night and day.
Last Wednesday I went to the MS. 294 S tollway is incredible.
There
is about 25 miles of road under construction and thousands of
trucks.
Quite unpleasant. I could not find the $ SDB reported at Don and
Mike`s bar. Did stay a few hours and left about even. What really
was suprising was how empty MS was. It was still quite empty when I
left 4 hours later about 6pm.
Drove over to the Horseshoe to meet a friend for dinner. The view
of
the lake at the Steakhouse is incredible. Ceiling to floor windows.
I just don`t understand the other casinos not utilizing the lake.
KoKo`s restaurant at MS is like a hole in the wall. No windows. At
least
their Star Lounge has a window looking over the lake.
The Horseshoe was packed. And I think it is a very unattractive
river boat. But it is the closest casino to Chicago by 10 minutes.
I will be in Michigan City Memorial day weekend and will stop at the
new Blue Chip to see if the video poker promises are in place.
