It's August, so time for more VP down grades-this time on 9/7 DB plays. They just replaced the bar top machines at the Blackjack bar downstairs with fancy new models. Unfortunately they offer 9/6 DB. The machines they replaced were new style slant top bartop.machines they just finished installing a couple of months ago. You can still find 9/7 progressive plays at the Lucky Sevens bar downstairs and the circle bar upstairs on the Lucky Sevens side of the casino. For now anyway... :-(

New number - (2) 25c 5 Play : 99.11% DB North side, top of grand staircase

Updated Player's Club info:
About 2 months ago casino changed their policies with regard to cashback and comps.
VP: cashback rate is .05% ($8 coin in = 1 base point, 250 base points = $1 in cash back).
Slots: CB $4 coin in = 1 base point, 250 base points = $1 in cash back.
They also have a rule now that allows you to turn your comps into cashback at 50% of the comp value.
Comp Ratio may have changed.
The plus side is that Star Club level members get 3x points always, and they have fairly regular promotions that take that to 9, 12, 15 or sometimes even 18x depending on the promotion. At 18x the best paying DB is a theoretical break even game.

The .25 9/7 DB progressives are still there and they have actually added the other bar next to the buffet with .25 9/7 DB machines. So now it is both of the bars next to the buffet and the one circle bar upstairs with .25 9/7 DB progressive. Also on that side they have a group of eight game kings that are tied in to the progressive, alas 9/6 only at the sit down tie ins though but it makes the progressive rise much faster for us 9/7 players. Also I made an interesting discovery. There is a one line of .25/.50/$1 MD/MG Game Kings near the upstairs cashier that has 9/6 DDB on all of those denominations. No progressive on those, but I thought that was still a move in the right direction. Their VP inventory has actually improved in the last couple of months for the first time in years. Their comp policies are a joke for VP players, and are roughly 25% of what they were when Station owned them, but at least the games are getting better.
