They are completely redoing the first floor and second floor of Casino. I would not recommend anyone visiting Casino who play Video Poker until they get the remodeling finished. I don't know if they are going to change pay tables on machines or what. My wife and I went this past weekend and needless to say we were very disappointed.

The boat was reconfigured a couple of months ago. It would seem that all video poker machines from the bottom three decks have been consolidated on the first floor (I didn't make it to deck 4, so no information regarding those machines). They have opened up the inventory of 9/6 25 cent JoB to include about a dozen uprights and about one hundred (100) console Game Kings!!!! These are all multidenomination and include 9/6 JoB for 50 cent and dollar players as well. There are numerous Game King uprights with 8/5 JoB at the quarter level and full pay for higher stakes. Lots of another brand VP machines, but I didn't see any full pay JoB (will scour paytables next trip and report back). I did note a couple of Triple Bonus Plus (TB+ full pay 99.80%) at the 50 cent-and-up play levels on the console Game Kings. There are over a dozen different games on each machine, so it will take time to look through all variations to find other full pay opportunities. The dozen uprights with 25c  9/6 JoB along the wall of the 1st deck are now moved to the center of the floor. The casino has switched to Harrah's Total Rewards. After two trips, the best I can make out is: $5 cash in slots or $10 cash in VP equals one base/tier point. Bonus points seem to be about three times the base points. Cashback seems to be about 1.8% of base points. Comps seem to be about 4% of base points (or about 1% of the sum of base and bonus points). With more experience these numbers will be refined. At this point, the bounce back cash seems to be lower with Total Rewards (maybe 1.5 times average cashback/trip) but the cashback and comps seem a bit better than the old system. CB: 55 Reward Credits = $1; BBC: 35 Reward Credits = $1; Comps: 25 Reward Credits = $1. Time will tell more.

Just visited Caesars Indiana over the weekend. Quarter 9/6 JoB and 8/5 Bonus has apparent returned to all Game King machines throughout the boat. These are the same machines that also have 50c and $1 games. Some have 16/11 Double Deuces.

Caesars Indiana - I couldn't find any full pay pick'em .25. They've also replaced a number of the .25/.50/$1 9/6 JOB Videos on the 4th floor with short pay Bally's gaming machines with pick-em, but short.

I just wanted to correct something that appears on your Caesars Indiana page. The dozen (or so - I did not count them) uprights against the wall on level one do still have 25 cent 9/6 JOB. Otherwise all I have seen are tons of 50 cent or 1 dollar at least on levels one and three.

Caesars has installed if not all, almost all TI/TO machines with .25/.50/$1 MG. The best games are Bonus Deluxe, BP, ACES Bonus,Super Aces, 9/6 JoB, TBD. The full pay are .50 and $1 with .25 games downgraded. They also have Triple Play $1 Super Aces as well as $5/$10/$20 9/6 JoB on the 4th deck. "Caesars One" players get a 25% bonus on cash back. This all will probably be immaterial if the Harrah's buyout goes through but until that happens I have seen a big improvement in Caesars over the past few months except they no longer have NSUD as someone else reported. They also allow retail comps that do not affect your cash or regular comp balances.

The quarter MG machines on Level 1 have been replaced with the same MG/MD machines that are now found all over the boat. This means no more quarter 9/6 JB anywhere. But there's 50c and $1 9/6 JB and 8/5 BP all over the place. Some of these machines also have Double Deuces at 16/11 for halves and dollars (15/10 for quarters). These machines seem to be scattered throughout - only a handful of machines seemed to have it. I only saw two machines with it, in separate banks. Didn't have time to check them all out.

ALL full pay pick 'em 25c/$1 Game Makers on levels 1 and 3 have been replaced with short pay.

I was at Caesars Indiana last week and found a couple updates for the database. The bulk of the Pickem is now short pay. But there is one bank of six old quarter machines on the first floor that are still full pay. There are a bunch of Multi-Denomination/Multi-Game GameKings on all three floors. They have full pay Bonus Deluxe (99.6%) at the half and dollar level. But at the quarter level they have short pay.

The 25c JoB progressives (were on multi-game slant tops) on the second floor are no more. They have been replaced by new Bally's and IGT Multi-Games (non-progressive) with inferior schedules on all games. Note the Pick-Em games on the new Bally's machines are short-pay (decreased pay on three of a kind and straights). The row of old Bally's Gamemakers that were on the second floor near the bar and restrooms have also been replaced with the inferior new Bally's machines listed above. The old Bally's (with full pay Pick-Em) still exist on the first floor (by the poker room and near the restrooms on the bar side). I believe a few of these also exist on the third floor on the other end of the boat near the restrooms. The old $1 slant-top multi-games that were on the third floor with NSUD have been replaced with new machines with inferior schedules on all games. In fact, I could not find any NSUD schedules anywhere on the boat, including any of the 25c machines that were mentioned in the

Caesars Indiana is very close to Louisville which is a good 2 hours from Cincy. This casino has the best atrium, shop, restaurant area and the worst casino area. A very large majority of machines are under repair, have bad screens or the bill selector doesn't work. It really is hard to believe that a "Caesars" casino could be so run- down (Caesars LV is one of our favorite Strip casinos). They have $1 and 25c Pickem as well as 25c 2-Pair Jokers, 25c NSUD and 9/6 JOB progressives. The 25c NSUD are on the Third floor at the back of the boat across the floor as you walk in. There is a bank of 10 machines of which only some machine have NSUD. A lot of the times the machines are out of order or shutdown. This was confirmed at Xmas. Cashback is a confirmed 0.11% but they do mail out triple point vouchers. I get bounce back cash as well from all three. It's normally $10 x 4 from Belterra and Grand Vic (which can be $20 x 4 on specific days of the week) and $20 x 2 from Caesars ( x3 points for the other 2 weeks). That's with about $10,000 - $20,000 of action a month at each (very rough estimate).

comments (on the third floor). I did not check the $1.00 bartop schedules on floors 2,3 and 4. Someone should verify those - location and game details are unknown. The only decent plays now appear to be the 25c bartops on floors 1 and 2 and the old Bally's Gamemakers. I would not be surprised if Caesar's replaces those machines also with new inferior schedules.
