No Royals. No quad wild Deuces. a far cry from previous visits.
only 1 hand-pay Quads(+$800): quad 4's w/kicker on $1 DDB.
two quads for $400.
about 10 other mini-jackpots of $100-$250.
A painful trip, starved the ol' bankroll.
Assuaged only slightly by Large Suite & food comp,
& Limo service to airport.
Tried and rejected Multi-strike: buttons placed poorly & confusing.
Cards WAY too small. Paytables unretrieveable on most games.
Hand pay for all cash-outs (time consuming).
FPJW session: 1st hand dealt Joker RF (+$125)
Bonus poker: new to me: pleasant to get paid 2-1 for 2 pair.
0.50 level. highlight hand: hold one A, get dealt 3 more (+$200)
quite crowded in the Legacy casino Fri & Sat nights, but VP machines
always available. A visit to El Dorado found it even more crowded-
narrower aisles and many more "dead-end" areas. The many-tabled,
separate El Dorado Live Poker Room looked absolutely inviting (my
former fave thing to do in Nevada). Next time.
Next visit: Halloween. Hoping for juju change.
