On the second floor, there is a new bank of multi denom game makers with the new HD screens.? They are very nice looking machines.? I looked at the games available and saw Pick 'em, jokers, jacks or better and All American.? Hmm, this might be interesting.
I asked for $0.50 Pick 'em and thought my request had been granted.? Unfortunately, the is trips pay 4 for 1 instead of 5 for 1 and the royal pays 10,000 instead of 6,000.? In other words, the 97% version.
Jacks or better was 8/5.? All American was 7-7-7 for FH-FL-ST.? They shouldn't even be allowed to call that All American.? Of course they still call the 6:5 version blackjack, so I guess nothing is sacred.? Most disturbing was the 14/7 version of Jokers.? I don't even think this is listed on Jean Scott's vp scouting report because it is so bad.?
If this is the wave of the future for Greektown, they should just change the name to MGM now.
I played the 5 play JOB yesterday and watched some truly terrible plays.? The man to my left was playing 50 play super aces for dimes.? He was playing all 50 hands ( $25 per spin) with no slot club card.? I watched him hold a bare 4, just a J from JK unsuited and 4-4 from 4d 4c 8c Tc 3c.? The bare 7 hold is so bad that commercial software can't analyze it.? Now, this guy hit some big hands and when I looked over the first time, he had over $1200 in credits so the machine spit out a ticket.? Less than 45 minutes later it was all gone.
The lady to my left was playing the terrible deuces game and held a bare 7.? Once again, commercial software cannot analyze just how bad this hold is.
Greektown can put in decent paytables and still make money.? They don't need to resort to 14/7 Joker poker.
