Just wanted to add to the report. Was there last week. The 12
upright IGT nickels have two other games which actually have a
higher ER of 96.79 on Double Double bonus and they have 8/6 jacks or
better at 98.39(?). But all other inventory sounds right.
What I think they need there are more .25 machines of all sorts. I have
never had to stand in line just to get on a machine before...and these aren't even
progressives. Out of pure frustration, I had to get on the $1 BP machines
(just to get a seat) and much to my surprise, actually cashed out $75 ahead.
Despite the lack of inventory there, Majestic Pines always turns out to be a
nice stop-off on my trips to Madison...it's just about at the half way point fo
r me....not too awfully far off the interstate. Just wish it was a better
casino.
The some with the inventory at it's bigger sister casinos inventory
It's changed. The best game I saw at Ho-Chunk in the Wis. Dells was
3/5 play 7/5 Bonus poker in nickels, quarters and dollars. Maybe 8-
10 machines.
On the fore-mentioned Madison trips when I've got early morning meetings,
I'll often come down the night before and stay at Ho-Chunk (it's just exactly 50
minutes from there to the State Office Building in downtown Madison.) Their
one progressive bank of slant-top BP (6/5 I believe) machines was up over $2500
when I was there last Thursday. (Considering it takes 8 quarters for "full
coin", I wonder if that's even high enough to turn positive?) My luck is
generally poor there, but the trend lately has been- after an evening of consistent
losing- to hit a few quick 4OAK right before bedtime to make back enough of
what I lost to keep from getting a bad attitude about the place. (FYI, they
had an inventory change there recently....now, I have trouble finding "real" .05
BP machines...what they have now are "bonus" only insofar as they jack up the
paytable for regular 4OAK.)
