What casino outside Nevada do you think has the best video poker?
I like Soaring Eagle in Mount Pleasant, MI. It has many 99% games including 99.96% DDB, NSUD, 99.66 BP and 9/6 JOB at quarter, fifty cent and dollar levels and $1 TDB.
They are out in the "middle of nowhere" Michigan so they have to be competitive. Any other non-Nevada favorites? Any you prefer over Nevada casinos?
My non-Nevada favorite for Video Poker is the Roadhouse in Tunica, however I still prefer playing in Downtown Las Vegas. It's just fun.

They may claim those pay schedules, Joe, but they are not regulated by any authority so there is no way to be sure. I would not put them on a list of best casinos outside of Nevada.

I played poker at Soaring Eagle, I think it was 1994. Their poker dealers were the worst I've every encountered. And I heard stories in the nineties about their 8 deck blackjack games with the best rules in the world. Something about them getting caught a few times with less than 32 aces in the shoe.
I stopped back in in 2002 and their were advantage slots. A few years ago someone I know tagged them pretty good at full pay blackjack with cashback.

I will grant you that I am not awaare of any monitori8ng other than internal, but, their compact with the State of MIchigan states that their macchines must pass State of Nevada regulations.
Having played there for many years, I have no reason to believe the machines are not random. My long term results are as expected.

Is there any casino in the world that somebody does not have a story but no proof other than being on the negative side of the curve?

I never knew you had traveled that far east Mickey.
Ever make it to Atlantic City.

I have to vote for the Borgata in AC which has great food and ambiance along with a truckload of 9-6 JOB from quarter on up. Unlike The Strip which I don't think has a single quarter 9-6 game on its whole length.

I've played about 30 hours there and have never noticed anything suspicious. Their VP machine manufacturers are IGT and Ballys.

No, I've never made it to the East Coast. My guess is I probably never will as I'm not so crazy about the long distance travel anymore. I made some forays into the midwest from the early nineties to the early 2000's.
The first was about 1994 when I was playing the low-limit stud hi-lo games. I first hit Mesquaki at Tama, Iowa. The game there was so-so, but an Omaha player told me about a very loose Stud 8 game at Soaring Eagle.
I got there and sure enough it was a very loose $3-$6 game. But the dealing was abysmal-maybe 18 hands an hour. I had gotten spoiled at the Phoenix House in Cripple Creek, Colorado where their dealers were requried to average 28 hands per hour and the best could do 35. But I got into a hand one day in that $3-$6 Soaring Eagle game where I snagged a $500+ pot. I've never seen it before or since. I think I'm gonna try to reconstruct the hand and put it in a Delia and Johnny story. All the stars had lined up right. Everyone was deep stacked enough, two players were rolled with trips on third street and jammed the pot on every street, but all eight players went to the River. I snagged the pot with a flush and a wheel. I think I'm gonna call the story The Community Card.
But I eventually got tired of the slow dealing and headed back to the Mountain States. I made a couple more forays to the Midwes which I'll put in a later post.

I made another trip to the midwest when I read in Gaming Today "Detroit Motor City installs Acres Gaming's Lucky Coin Bonus System." So I flew to Detroit. I had made some money off that system before so I figured it was worth checking out. But it didn't pan out. The system in Detroit worked similar to the Jumbo Jackpots that the Stations casinos used to have. It was called Motor City Millionaire. Sometime during each month a machine would start flashing and whoever was playing that machine won $50,000 a year for twenty years. It wasn't exploitable.
There were lots of advantage slots there so I made my expenses back plus a tip. I was only there for two weeks then jumped on Amtrak to Elko, Nevada to sweep out Flush Attacks.
