Four Winds Casino-New Buffalo, Michigan

#1

I was out there about 3 weeks ago, great casino! No carnival VP games-unlike many other NA casinos. Played $1-5, best games 9-7 DB, 9-5 and 8-6 JoB, and 8-5-30 BP and some NSUD in $1-5.
   
  Great comps, very nice people, two bars with VP, one huge one with very cheap drinks. Still working out the kinks. Any other experiences???

There is no $5 NSUD there, unless it showed up in the last week or so.

I missed the $1 NSUD. Did not check very hard. Could you please tell me
where they are? Thought it was a gorgeous property. There actually are
some strange carnival like games by Williams and Bally but those had
poor pay tables.

I have been at the Four Winds twice and found 9/6 DDB in quarters in the bank of uprights near the front to the right as you enter the main entrance - only one machine at the end of the row. I thought I had founf $ NSUD near the high limit area at the back of the casino but could not find it when I went back again. I noticed deuces games that paid only 100 for the WRF.

OK, here's the deal...if you look hard enough you will find 6-8 Game
Kings with FP games on them, 9-6 Jacks, 9-6 DDB, 9-7 DB, 9-6 WHA,
NSUD, at the $1 and $2 denoms (I didn't check smaller). The cb is .14
and the theos on these games are in the 1.5% range, so expect your
bounceback offer to be .15% of your handle. The Game Kings are
scattered randomly throughout the casino. Now, there are probably
close to 350 of these machines throughout the casino, so you're just
going to have to keep looking.

The resort is 5*, great food and rooms, and I think it will make the
Chicago casinos*, particularly the ones on the IN side, raise their
game. Note that Blue Chip (with the former Majestic Star Director of
Marketing in a similar role) actually has some playable VP and Boyd is
spending some serious dollars on upgrades. Majestic is slowly, but
surely, putting money in as well (and they need to keep doing that).
Just don't expect anything better than break even on the machines, so
far. There are also two other large reservation casino projects online
in SW MI, but these are closer to Kalamazoo and Battle Creek, and for
that matter South Bend.

*the resort is 5 min from the IN/MI state line on I-94, and that
includes the 3 minutes to get from the entrance to the casino. It's
about 220 mi from downtown Detroit, so it's really going to be more
competitive with the Chicagoland casinos rather than the Detroit ones.

Forgot...the $5 stuff is junk, best game either 9-5 DDB or 9-6-5 DB,
with the rest like 8-5 Jacks, AC Joker, 20-12-10 Deuces, etc.

VPFae: you're welcome in advance.

I assume you meant to say 9/5 WHA? 9/6/(80) would be 100.69% and I'll
hit the road tomorrow if that's the case :slight_smile:

I played on tables that needed no live dealer. I played a NL game. I
bought in for $50 and was up and down until my last hand where I went
all in on K-J two pair to be beat by a fellow with 3-4 and the wheel
straight.

I liked the electronic tables. The rake was cheaper and there was no
tip, so that cut down on the cost of playing. Fewer mistakes were
possible. You could not check so softly as to deny it after it had
gone around. You could not bet out of turn. You could not bet with
the wrong chips. There was no crazy stuff like the single chip rule
which confused me in Laughlin and cost me money.

When it was your turn to play, a light lit on your console and you
punched how much of the preloaded buy in you wished to bet and then
confirmed your decision. Hands went by faster. No shuffling, no time
needed for counting chips and calculating side pots, no chip fills, no
taking of tip boxes, no dealer changes. It was all done quickly by
computer. Some have worried that without a dealer there might be a
lack of social exchange and there is something to that. No pretty
girls faces to study during cold hand streaks. Still, it is possible
to say something to someone at the other end of the smaller table, be
heard, and not have the dealer jump into the conversation.

Would that make it easier to cheat with a partner? Well, it might.
You would have to call the floor. But the last time I was with two
guys showing hands, he dealer could not do anything anyway and I had
to call the floor. It would be impossible to cheat by marking cards
or hiding them. It would be impossible for the dealer to misread a
hand at the end.

I liked it. But I was not there too long.

My bad...sorry to get you excited. I certainly wouldn't be discussing
a 9-6 game, that's for sure.
