Majestic star and the general state of VP in the midwest

#1

I went to Majestic star after a great trip to Vegas where I got seven
sets of deuces and one royal. I am so disappointed with the state of
VP in the midwest. There is very little in the way of playable games
at Majestic star. I played 9/6 Jacks and lost in less than 30 minutes
with a bankroll of $120.00 and I was only able to put on 46 points on
my players card. Also I noticed very few people playing VP despite it
being a weekend. What is MS thinking? Surely, MS was making a bigger
profit with a large volume of players before they shorted the
paytables of practically all their games. The Empress is just as
bad. There aren't any good single line games left only 3/5 play
games. At this point I am ready to drive to Iowa or St. Louis on the
weekends instead of playing close to home. Does anyone know if there
is playable VP at Resorts, Blue Chip, Horseshoe,or Grand Victoria?
Also has anyone ever been to Jumer's Rock Island Casino? What should
I expect if I travel there from Joliet?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Jumer's in Rock Island still has .25 10/7 DB (10 or 12 really old
coin-in machines on the second floor). The Isle Of Capri down the
road and across the river in Iowa has 9/6 DDB with progressives on
the Royal, SF and all 4OAK. Jumer's is about 2 hours from Joliet, the
Isle another 20 minutes or so.

Thanks to all who responded to my post about Majestic Star. I guess
it is road trip time for us to Iowa next weekend. I hope that
Majestic star's loss in sheer numbers of visitors causes the powers
that be to rethink the VP downgrades.
