I have not gotten my Strictly Slots in the mail yet. I live in the Chicago
Area and it looked like Harrah's stuffed the ballot box the last time these
awards were listed. They (E. Chicago) were shown as the best BJ in the
Chicago Area even though they had more continuous shuffler tables then
anybody else. The best VP though only two of the eight other casinos have
less full pay VP (Harrah's E. Chicago has two NSUs on triple plays, one at
quarters and one at $5.). Even odder was the second place finish of
Hollywood Aurora in the best hotel category as they do not have a hotel!

Subject: [vpFREE] October Strictly Slots Awards ... Lack of CredibilityDid anybody else look through the Strictly Slots Award lists in the
October issue and wonder whats going on with the ratings?How could the Orleans win the Best Casino for Video Poker category?
Granted, these ratings are supposedly by the readers ... but to me
this raised two questions: (1) Is there such a long lag in voting
vs publishing date that the often rapidly changing gaming universe
makes many of the ratings inconsistent with more current conditions?;
and / or (2) Are that so many Vegas locals so out of tune with full
pay VP that the deletion of most full pay of Orleans is of no
consequence to them? (The bigwigs at Orleans and sister properties
are probably drooling over that thought!).Tom in Indy
