I have recently found myself in Iowa for work and had a chance to
check out some of the local casinos. Here's a brief inventory:
ROCK ISLAND
Not a very nice casino! If appearance matters, don't go here! But,
they do have a bank of (12) 10/7 DB 25c machines. They also have 1%
cash back, which makes these a pretty good play (they are a little
slow though). On Monday's they even have 8 hours of x2 points (2%
cash back!). During double points the (4) $ ugly ducks machines on
the lower level are good plays as are the (6) Triple play 25c 9/6 DDB
machines. The DB machines are very hard to get on.
RHYTHM CITY CASINO (ISLE OF CAPRI)
Across the river from Rock Island is the Rhythm City casino now owned
by Isle of Capri. This is a much nicer place (still not fancy
though). They also have 1% cash back. Games to play include 3 way
progressive 25c ugly ducks (6) and 5 way progressive 7/5 Bonus (6).
They also could have the worst Buffet in the world (!?)
Have fun!
