June 2005 the bank of .25 gamekings first set to the slowest speed then
paytables hacked from 9/6 to 6/5 Jacks, 10/16 NSU Deuces to
1/2/2/3/4/10/15 Super Ugly Deuces, 4/6/9 to 4/5/6 Double Double Bonus,
Bonus Poker is now 1/1/3/5/8/10, Double Bonus is 1/1/4/5/8, have not
seen paytables this bad since Casino Windsor. The bank of .25
TRIPLE/FIVE play in the room with the table games that had full pay
Super Aces,NSU Deuces,Jacks,Triple Double Bonus etc. were slowed to a
crawl then the paytables cut to the same level as the gamekings.
This place has been slowly converting video poker to slot machines over
the past year quite a change from two years ago when they were
boasting WE HAVE THE BEST VIDEO POKER IN MICHIGAN.

Bad news re Turtle Creek, that used to be a nice diversion when up in
the Traverse City area. Are there any casinos up north with decent
paytables?

   That's bad news to me as I have a voucher for a free room for one
night at either the Turtle or the Sands and I was planning to use it
this month for a golf vacation up there. I womder if any of them
still have quarter full-pay Pick'Em?
   If not, then I'll stay in my motel room and watch television at
night.
