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???
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.
