Turtle Creek Casino

#1

I will be up in the Traverse City area for a four day golfing vacation.
I will check out the new Turtle Creek Casino while I'm there and post
what they have in the way of video poker. Probably nothing, but who
knows? They pulled out all the Pick'Em last year.

The Slot Player

A gambler knocked on the Pearly Gates,
Her face was worn and old.
She stood before the man of fate,
For admission to the fold.

"What have you done," St. Peter asked,
"To gain admission here?"
She said she played the slots and lost,
For all her ninety years."

"We rarely let you gamblers in,
There's only been a few.
But somehow we'll make space for you,
It seems the thing to do."

St. Peter warmly beckoned her,
The gates swung open wide.
"Come in and choose your harp and wings,
Please join me by my side."

Then giving her the harp and wings,
He rang the Golden Bell.
Then with a smile looked down and said,
"You've served your time in Hell."

Be sure and write up a comment card (they are by the coat check) If
possible grab a suit. They said they are revising their vp, as they
have got some weird setups (in my opinon) right now. Most MD
machines have been locked to one denom. Many dollar machines and no
players. Very few quarter deuces machines.

Still have some decent 50c vp.

As expected, I didn't find anything good to play in quarters, but I
did find a 50 cent 16/10/4/4 DW (99.7%)game.

They've got the lower pay Pick'Em and Pick a Pair games in 2 cents
(very boring) and quarters, and some low pay nickel games.(9/6/5 DB)
that I played just to kill some time. A 7/5 White Hot Aces
progressive game. Also a dollar 9/6/4 JB progessive that was at
$8,000 when I left Saturday night. I lost a couple of hundred chasing
that one for a while.

I had a couple of double shots (4-5 ounces?) of Johnny Walker Black
on the rocks at $7.50 a drink. Probably a mistake as a fifth goes for
about $60 retail.

Nice, clean, pretty place, but I wouldn't want to live there.
