At the end of 2013, Belterra gutted their few decent vp games. There are still three $1 Single Line 9/6 JB machines, but the other $1 machines are 9/5 or worse and the lower denoms are all 8/5 or worse. There are also 8 or so quarter NSUD progressive machines which have a HORRIBLE cashback rate. It's interesting that Belterra and the two Harrah's properties on the Ohio River all eliminated their decent vp at the same time. Belterra seems to have kicked out the Jeff Ruby's steakhouse, Ben & Jerry's, and Starbucks at the same time as the vp changes. They are building their own steakhouse, but maybe this is all indicative of serious financial problems with Pinnacle Entertainment in general and Belterra in particular. It appeared that Belterra was suffering the least from the opening of Horseshoe Cincinnati, but maybe the lesser loss of business hurt them even more than Hollywood and Rising Star. They have been updating their rooms which were showing a dozen or so years of hard use. The updated rooms are very nice. maximumbett

Caesars has decided to take what was last year a fine VP experience (full pay JoB at the $1, $2, and $5 levels, as well as NSUD at $5), and turned it into a rip off ($1 and $2 machines are now 9/5 and the high limit machines only pay 2500 credits on a RF). The high limit room that was once filled with avid VP players now sits empty. I don't really understand the rationale for these decisions, but regardless there is no reason to come here anymore. ccorona1

Friendly Casino, Old time Vegas History... Champ584

This casino opened in March 2013 with $5, $10 and $25 Jacks or Better (99.54) and NSU Deuces Wild (99.73). However, on or about December 26, 2013 management eliminated all of these pay tables for these games. Now, the Royal Flush only pays 2500 coins instead of 4000. Additionally the pay tables for Deuces Wild now pays only 100 coins for a deuces wild Royal Flush and 60 coins for five of a kind. The pay tables for the smaller denomination video poker games was always poor but now the high limits video poker is the worst in the region. If you want to play video poker look elsewhere. chuck1950
