Spirit Mountain Casino in Grande Ronde, OR

Does anyone have any information on this casino? I believe it is a
fairly large place but I do not see it in the data base.

We'll be landing in Portland and driving past on our way to the OR
coast.

TIA for any help on this casino or any others along the OR coast or the
northern CA coast.

I am a regular at Spirit Mountain Casino. I have found that like
anywhere else, you have to check the paytables of each machine, as
they are intertwined with different pay outs at each bank of machines.
I have found some 9/6 JOB multi-denom games near the poker room. While
I read vpFree, I usually play craps so haven't paid a lot of attention
to the VP paytables.

I'm going there today to participate in a slot tournament. I'll report
back tonight or in the morning as to what I find.

If you are being touristy, may I recommend: Just before you get to the
casino, driving from Portland, there is a 'museum' that houses Howard
Hughes's Spruce Goose monster airplane. It's North and East of the
Spirit Mtn Casino, here's the website: http://www.sprucegoose.org/
Even if you don't go inside, drive up to the building.

I visited Spirit Mtn back in '03. Games there were lower EV than 9/6
JoB, so if JoB is indeed there it would be good to start up a page for
Spirit Mtn in the vpFree database.

But the casino VP paytables were better than the State Lottery VP
games that pervade (seemingly) every restaurant, tavern and bowling
alley in the state. All these Lottery VP are RNG, but all the VP has
REAL bad paytables. The locals seem to like Flush attack. And usually
the machines are not in good shape, sticky buttons, etc, etc. Avoid!

Have a nice trip and file a brief trip report if you will!

The VLT's in Oregon are horrible. Top payout with 6 coins is $600.
They let you play up to 8 coins and the payout is still $600. I ran a
twenty through one when they first came out 12 or 15 years ago, and
haven't touched one since.
