I am sorry to report the demise of All American at the Isle. It has been removed from all the machines in both the smoking and non-smoking sections, I believe as of late Thursday night/early Friday morning last. This was about the last of the All American in existance. They left Pick'Em on the machines, at least for now. It would not surprise me if it went away as well. The Isle folks seem to be making a lot of cuts in the name of cost savings, including reducing or eliminating cash back.

*** MIA - *** (6) 25c 40/8 AA & 99.9% PKM Game Makers to the left of the main cashier windows. (12) 25c 40/8 AA & 99.9% PKM Game Makers in the southeast corner of the casino. (2) $1 40/8 AA & 99.9% PKM Game Makers in the southeast corner of the casino.

Cindy Hohl is now a host at IOCKC.

There are six new 25c machines with PKM and AA in the middle of the non-smoking section and five more machines against the back wall with 25c PKM.

, I counted a total of twelve quarter Game Makers with All-American and Pick 'Em machines and two dollar Game Makers with All-American and Pick 'Em machines in the enclosed non-smoking area: six in a carousel, four on one wall, and two (along with the two dollar machines) on another wall. In addition, I counted TWO rows of six quarter Game Makers with All-American and Pick 'Em machines in the main casino: one row immediately to the left of the main cashier windows, as before, but a SECOND row two rows to the left of that. Unfortunately, I could not see that bank of five Pick 'Em machines that "rreid01" reported on earlier, but I could be wrong.

As of 15

$40 coin-in = 1 point. 100 slot club points = $5 cash back for a return of 0.125%

I was wondering if anyone out there is getting comps from Isle of Capri. I've gone out there four times the last month, averaging about $3000 coin-in on All American a trip, losing $100 twice, $200 once, and winning $70 on the other, making a combined loss of $430. This is probably right at what they would expect to get of my $12000 bet. So what have I earned in comps? Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

We were there a couple weeks ago and each played a couple hours on 50 cent and dollar machines. We dropped $600 and when we asked for a comp for the deli -- a stinking sandwich for crying out loud -- we were basically told "go to hell, you get nothing!"

Their comps are tight, but this sounds like something is horribly wrong. Did you check your point totals at the little kiosks before and after playing? If you gambled that much, you should have built up quite a few point and the comps should appear automatically**. However, I have noticed in recent months that the points don't always show up right away, which means you wouldn't get any comps on that visit. When I asked at the promotions counter, their response was "The points show up when they show up. When they do, you can ask for comps then."

1 Cashback Point = $.05; Action Needed for 1 Pt = $35 (see Note); Cashback Rate = .14%; Isle Miles are worth about 1 cent each and also accrue at .14%. NOTE: This figure applies to the quarter AA machines. I don't know if it varies by machine at the Isle. Considering the number of quarter AA machines they have and that it doesn't take much play at all to earn about $80 bounce back each month, this is one of the better quarter plays in KC. The only opportunity I know of that beats it is when Harrah's runs one of their rare "2x Cashback" promotions.

In addition to the 8 quarter AA machines mentioned, there are 3 more along the back wall between the VP corner area and the rest rooms.

The last time I was there I got one for about every $23, but the time before, unless I was way off my count, I got a point for every $35. This was on the exact same type of machine.

Everything about their slot club is a mystery. I think I calculated their cashback at .26% once a long time ago. Points do not expire, but comps absolutely DO expire. If you find out you've earned a meal at the Isle, plan on taking it within a week or two or losing it.

Mondays are double points days (that would put CB at around .50) and if you're over 50, I believe they also have Senior Days with other goodies that might put a short pay game at or near 100%.
