Full pay pick-em casino Niagara

Full pay Pick-Em is back at casino Niagara and Fallsview
casino in Niagara Falls, Ca. In fact they now have 18 machines
at $1.00, 5-50 cent machines and 5-25 cent machines. Also there are 10 full pay machines at the dollar level at the fallsview casino. I am not sure about the 50 cent level. The requirements have been raised to $60 cash in for 1 point for any machine with pick-em on it and $40 cash in for one point for the $5.machines with no pick-em and $30 cash in for all video poker without pick-em 25 cent to $1.00 I believe. It still requires only $20 cash in for slots. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Things can change very quickly in the VP world, regardless of where on earth one chooses to play. We visited Casino Niagara just this AM and guess what? ALL, repeat all - Bally Gamemaker Full Pay Pick'em, in ALL denominations is gone once again! According to the slot attendant that we spoke to inquiring when and why, she responded that to her understanding, all such machines all across the Province have pulled the Full Pay Pick'em.

Wow thanks for the information. We were there just five days ago and I thought surely they had gotten their heads on straight by at least having one game that was playable. They seem to want to make it a slot game only casino or penny arcade. Did you notice what the cash in requirements were for earning a point? We live a long way away and would appreciate any further changes that you find. I guess the friends we used to go to see will see a lot less of us if at all.

I didn't notice the changes. I am in there all the time and prefer the spin poker machines. The full pay pickem was put in about 2 months ago and requires $60 of play for 1 point versus $20 for normal slots and $30 for non-pickem machines. Fallsview and Casino Niagara are going to keep losing customers. Tight machines, hard to achieve limits for points and cashback and the horrible food offerings in the platinum lounge which now require between $150,000-$300,000 worth of play every 6 months. It is becoming another casino/opium den. Just a place to get opiated and not a place to enjoy. This dopamine release in the brain has now gotten costlier. What a way to exploit people and all in the name of good business sanctioned by the government.

But, earlier in the same post, the author says: "I am in there all the time...".

I guess one has to wonder how bad it has to get before they stop going there.

You are right about both points. I am in there all the time as i live close and enjoy the casino's other offerings also. Including the 365 Lounge and their free entertainment. My immediate family loves the place and travels from out of town so we meet there for meals and socializing. They have a premium bar area with some of the best capaccinos i have ever had anywhere. Especially their iced ones. Also it is some of the most convenient parking in the niagara falls area. Plus i like playing the spin poker even if not full paytable it is usually fun and it seems to play a long time on very little investment. Plus they have slot machines called quick hits and they are very easy to play. I also know many people who have stopped going because they are unhappy with the point system and the platinum classifications which seem to penalize those who earn platinum through video poker.
