I was there today but did not play in the bar. It has always been cold in there since it opened and before that when it was the bar for the Star Room (equivalent to the Diamond Room at Harrah's) it was also cold. Lost $145 at Caribbean Draw but won $125 at VP. (Also hit a quarter royal on the NSU triple play at Trump so it was a good day.) I sometimes play the $1 progressive or 25c Multi-strike in that bar.

Subject: [vpFREE_Chicago] Kudos to MS
I played at MS, Trump, Harrah's EC, and the Empress this weekend.
While playing at Don & Mike's on Sunday afternoon, I made a serious
error on DBDW. On one hand I was dealt two 2's and an A (the other
two cards were junk) and neglected to be sure all three had "held."
I am usually careful to do this in D&M's because of the stickiness
of so many buttons from sloppy eating/drinking patrons. Well, only
the 2's held, the A dropped. My luck, 2 more A's popped up and I got
20 credits instead of the 800 I would have received for 5 Aces. I
sat there staring at the machine... in disbelief. Decided to have
the bartender call for help. I was very patient and nice to both the
slot tech and supervisor. Ultimately, the supervisor agreed to pay
me the $800. I really did not think she would do this, but felt I
had to try. I have only been playing at MS for about the last 6
weeks or so (I have been a Joliet regular for many years)... but
this incident puts MS high on my list.
This was also my first venture into DBDW. I would love to give OEJ a
shot, but have no clue how the game is played and to my knowledge,
there is no software available to learn. I did practice DBDW at home
for about 2 hours and also took a strategy cards with me (which I
referred to often). This was a lucky session as besides hitting
those 5 Aces, I hit four 2's, many WRF's, and many other 5 OAK's (6
of the 250 variety as I recall). I finally had to quit because I was
soooo cold in there. I wish so much they would do something about
the frigid temps in that bar. Each time I've played there I've
wondered if anyone from this group has been sitting near me : )
