The Hollywood casino in Aurora sent $80 (and free admission and free
parking) to lure us out there. We hadn't been there since they
started charging admission to everything except the bathroom, and
(they said) they missed us. So we visited. We found a VP wasteland,
with maybe 8 (barely) playable machines (9-6 Double Aces and Faces
at .25 .50 and 1.00) Most machines I checked offered returns of less
than 97% --- some far less. I actually saw 7-5 Double Double Bonus. I
vowed never to complain about the Majestic or the Trump again. Oh
yeah, ... unless you have a coupon, admission is $5, parking is $2,
and re-entry to the casino is $5. What are they, nuts? The joint was
as quiet as a mime convention, and I can see why.I wish them lots of
luck getting back the $80 million they claim they spent on their new
facilities.

Thanks for the report. I've put it on the Hollywood DataBase page.
If someone visits again maybe they can specifically check to see
if the "Legend" progressive (The five $1 games included NSUD.
The five 25c machines included Illinois Deuces.) that Howard asked
about and the $1 8/5 Bonus poker MG/MD machines in the non-smoking
area that were reported in FEB are still there.

$ NSUD progressive was downgraded months ago. That is when I took out all my cashback and haven`y been back.

Tom,
The MG .25, .50 & 1.00 machines in the non-smoking area have 8/5 BP
in the dollar denomination only.
NSUD exist in the MG/MD (5, 10, & $25) machines against the wall in
the high limit area.
