I do very well at the medium limit games, the low limit games are ok, but stay away from the high limit room, all the skill in the world wont help you there hoteyedguy

This is my second time to stay at GVR. It was a great experience. GVR has loads of video poker with excellent paytables. The pool area is really nice and the help is friendly. The downside to playing full pay video poker is that you don't accumulate points very fast. All in all, a great experience with lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. Give it a try! stevefulmer

There is a great host that I use at the Harrah's properties in Atlantic city - Bally's, Harrah's, Showboat, and Caesars. Larry Glassman - email address: [email protected]. Larry is an Independent Casino Rep. I have worked with other casino hosts and Larry stands out as the best. hardidi117

If you are from out of town and staying here, just make sure you are in a tower room as the court yard rooms are quite dodgy. I frequent the stand up 99% machines in front of the Cabo Bar, they are usually pretty active. Staff is great, always friendly. Its older overall but the new sports bar addition and removal of the Louie Anderson theater have really opened up providing more slant poker and slot machines in that area. Love the players club and monthly comps for locals. Great place to play Bingo too! Will always go back. JessicaLynn

This is the place my wife and I enjoy going to from Vegas when we want to have a quick vacation, relatively inexpensive, kind of old style vegas feel when things were smaller, more intimate, more of a person less of a machine yadda yadda. A great spa treatment and massage was good too. Anyway, on to the video poker. No full pay machines at this place. And trust me, I looked. Maybe they once had FPDW, NSUD deuces, and 9/6 Job, but not now. Seems the best they could do is "ugly" deuces wild (98.9%, 1-2-3-4-4-9-15-25-200-800)...the other better ones I could find at the .25c/$1 level was 9/5 Job (98.44%), 9/5 DDB (98.2% with 1199 Royal, of course, same with regular royal (97.8%). Saw some 7/5 BP, 9/5 TDB. But you get the basic idea, nothing at the 99% level or higher, except a progressive exception. The two best progressives I could find was a single line $1 Double Bonus 9/6 at a Royal of $6,445. I have a return of 99.16% for this game. And the other was the 9/5 Job with royal of $5,560. I have a return of 99.27% for that game. I played some of JOB, won three hundred, lost three hundred, but I'm generally a .25c/.50c/ single line/triple play player, so didnt' play long at the $1 level. I'd say, I played 5% nickles (horrible pay tables, horrible results), 15% dollar level on Job progressive, and 80% quarters, winning on both single line DDB and triple play "ugly" deuces wild. As a side note, they do have a nice video poker bar layed out with similiar games and pay tables, and behind it is a stage with music, and the cool thing is they have is another row of video poker games where you can sit and play facing the stage...so can play video poker and watch a free concert at the same time. When we went, after the first meal, we never had to pay for another one as they offered 50% off the meals using players points. 25 points equals a dollar. Every 10 dollar coin-in is one point. So every 100 points is 4 dollars, every 100 points is $1,000 coin in. Put another way, I played mostly quarters single line and triple play, and made enough points on the two day trip to pay for 4 meals at the casa cafe for my wife and I, and about 50 dollars extra in free play. So that pretty much sums up our trip to Casablanca this time in Mesquite. We will be going again, and even if I have a losing trip, we still have a good time, but of course a winning trip is even a better time. Cheers P.S. In regards to the high-limit, I only did a quick look because I don't play on those levels, but noticed they had up to a $5 dollar level VP machines...maybe they have higher, I don't know. But the pay tables didn't improve. I thought they would at least have 9/6 JOB at this level, but I never saw higher than 9/5 JOB and DDB, also 7/5 BP and "ugly" DW. dAAnmAAn
