Yesterday, on our way to Buffalo to pick some folks up at the airport,
we stopped by here to have a look.
As a result, I can confirm what others have said, namely, there's
virtually nothing here for video poker players looking for a
reasonable game.
I didn't find the high limit area, so can't comment on what's in
there. In the main casino, the best $0.25 game I could find is 9/6
double bonus. At the $1.00 level, I did find the slightly better
9/6/80 version of double bonus. Neither games's return is that
great, and if I want to play such an inferior game, I can do so at
the $0.25 level at Georgian Downs, 20 minutes from home, I don't have
to drive to Niagara Falls.
The best JOB was 8/5 at the $1.00 level, and 7/5 at $0.25.
One pay table that I almost gagged over was on a $1.00 triple line
machine that offered the magnificent 6/5 version of JOB.
Can anyone imagine the draw on your bankroll if you played this? An
hour of play at a conservative 400 hands per hour would equate to
$6000 coin in, and a loss (assuming no royal or straight flushes) of
around $450. If you played long enough to statistically "deserve"
the higher paying hands, you could expect your hourly loss to average
around $300.
I doubt I'll ever go here again.
