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. <<
Several registered similar Majestic Star complaints on my forum as well. One person challenged slot director Paul Cornish to upgrade pay tables on a few machines to see if more play increases casino profits. (Slot Director took him up on the wager.)
Another poster also mentioned the Empress in Joliet and said 10/7DB machines that had been there for years were downgraded to 9/7, then 9/6/4.
Considering fewer players (you said fewer at MS even though it was a weekend) and more competition on the way seems that you could talk management into putting in a few games with reasonable ERs . As you've said, most play far from perfect so MS should increase profits with volume--chasing players away won't make them anything. Linda
