Severe Stardust VP Downgrade

Tonight I saw Stardust Techs downgrading the paytables at the machines adjacent to the Royal Bar (suited progressive) on one side. The 8/5 bonus is now 6/5 bonus. In the rest of the Casino all the NSUD dueces are now ROD (rip off deuces)
  1/2/3/4/4/9/12/20, the 8/5 bonuses are 6/5, the triple boker plus have the FH reduced to 6 from 8, all of these in game kings. The 50 cent ACE$ next to keno are no more. Most of the VP are now multi-game Game Kings with these reduced pay tables for all games. Time permitting will check out the area towards the sports book and see if the disease has spread there,too.

machines adjacent to the Royal Bar...

RIP, Stardust. It was fun while it lasted, and I'm actually going to
miss you. I hit my first royal ever there. There was just something
about that place that appealed to me and it's disappearing only to be
imploded in a few months.

What a shame! The 8/5 $1 bonus games were downgraded when they were
changed last time. The progressive meter was adjusted slower than the
slowest turtle in the world. At least it seemed that way to me. I
never checked to see if so. However prog never seemed to go much over
4G, so I figured so. Now at 6/5 .25 is bad....I guess they want to
skin the loyal customers they have had for years. Wow...even AC has
few places with the guts to have such a pay schedule. Did they reduce
any of the $1 machines; Prog or otherwise?

I'm gonna miss the Dust, as many are. I made a lot of nice hits on
the $1 progs. In 80s thru early 90s my base was Frontier. Traveling
from the east, I got up early first 2 or 3 days in Vegas. I really
liked early morning walks through Dust across to Riv and over to
Circus Circus. Sometime I'd even cross back over street and walk
through the DI. Playing along the way and checking a prog or two. One
morning I hit a prog royal .25 on way down thru Dust and got one on
way back. Only played a couple rolls quarters each way. On way back I
would always get a FREE popcorn at the little place next to Circus. I
think it was owned by Circus or maybe was Circus. Vegas ain't what it
used to be; can't even get free popcorn.

Cheers .. Jeep

you are right, $1 bonus poker prog is 5/7. The only remaining really playable games at the Stardust are a few $1 6/9 JOB at the Baccarat Bar. There is one super aces bonus at the proper pay table buried in one of the triple pay near keno. Some of those machines also have 98.9 deuces. There also is a few that have 9/6/4 triple double bonus - all else is terrible - many of the game king bonus poker use 150 for 5 coins(all 4k) on all 4K. This is horrendous as its much worse than reg BP and with a 6/5 paytable it's reprehensible.

Can anyone verify if the bank of 3/5 Multi-Plays still contain 8/5 BP
or have those been trashed as well? We are staying there in a few
weeks but I wont if they have no games to play. Thanks!

Speaking of BP, are there any .25 8/5 BP progressives left at the
Royal Bar? Last time I was there --- only a few weeks ago, actually --
- the clubs royal was over $3K, and two other suits were in the $2K
neighborhood. Also, it seemed that the meter was moving pretty fast.

Anyone check the MultiStrike machines? It's too bad, I'm getting
better coupons and better VP tourny offers.

The paytables on the multi strike are just as abominable such as JOB 5/7 (not bonus). I get the offers too and will use them but I am thinking of playing double deck $10 non smoking blackjack to keep my status there with I believe double after splits allowed and double on any first two cards. With minimal counting can neutralize the minor house edge even with flat betting and just play to keep my comps coming until they close at years end. If I have the bankroll (see previous posts) they have a few $1 6/9 machines at the Baccarat Bar and scattered among the triple plays a few playable games such as 98.9% deuces (with slot cash, room offers, and welfare checks, and meals would be 100%+) . The slot director told me they wanted to even up the mix and that the visitors don;t really know the difference and they wanted to eliminate the coin handling. He said he might put back a few with better pay tables for those of us who care and he mentioned that they may have "overdone"
it. If you go there, let them know how u feel and perhaps they might at least compromise, such as instead of 6/5 bonus at the Royal bar at least 7/5 with the progressive, etc.
