I have been somewhat hot at the Majestic Star lately. My last two plays (last Wed and Sunday both produced 25c royals in the first five minutes (5 play Super Aces).
I do not play as long as some of you and I have hit 5 aces on the Bar DB2s twice and a wild royal on the OEJW once in the last month but only a few hours of total play.
I have won about $3400 during that period but that only brings me to plus $900 for the calendar year plus about $700 in coupons. Obviously VP is still very streaky.

I agree with your comments about the bar top machines. They are not
maintained very well and the area around the machines could be kept
cleaner. Lately I've witnessed some boorish behavior on the part of
people getting food from the Don & Mike's concession. Although there
are plenty of tables available these folks have to plop themselves
down at the bar even though they have no intention of playing anything
on the bar tops. After leaving an incredible mess for someone else to
clean up they leave. I nearly confronted several people but just
barely managed to restrain myself. Hopefully this is not becoming a
trend because I will not continue to be shy.

My wife and I went to MS for our third losing trip in a row (total
of five days over two months). We played mostly in Don and Mikes
this weekend because the progressive was nearing $4800. We failed
miserably. We played Bonus poker (attempting to make up some
previous losses. Lots of garbage hands and few quads. I had four in
about four hours of VP while my wife had only one (non-bonus. The
bar was sticky and the machine buttons are getting hard to press.
MS needs to do a little more clean up all the way around on the
machines. I understand the frequency tables but it sure seems we're
playing a lot of hands with large losses. The bar area is cold, but
the second floor area is warmer and offers a lot of machines. I
just have a hard time playing for $4000 when I can play for $4800.
I'm going to ask for a room comp for the 4th of July and we'll see
how the comps work. We both played over 1000 points each day so I
hope we can at least get a room. We stopped in at Trumps before we
left but it was busy, smoky, and the machines were lower pay tables.
Am I understanding everyone that while Trumps has lower pay tables
folks seem to be winning more? We like the comfort of MS, but maybe
we'll play a couple of hundred at Trumps next time and see if we get
less garbage or at least play a little longer on each bill. Good
luck to all!!
