Player's club has been changed, $11 coin-in = 1 Base Reward Credit (was $10)
No more cashback for either VP or slots unless you choose to convert your Reward Points into cash (i.e., .05% vs. .167% at other Detroit casinos), in which case you go hungry. No more Bonus Reward Credits for either VP or slots. Very stingy Free Play/BBC amounts. You can get up to 10 times more Free Play/BBC per month from other local Detroit casinos for the same coin-in. No discretionary comps. You need to earn $2,000 Reward Credits (i.e., $22,000 coin-in) for a lunch buffet ($20)! The only Harrah’s property that doesn’t have a Diamond Lounge. You need at least 50,000 Base Reward Credits to access the VIP Lounge (i.e., 5 times Diamond or half Seven Star status). Even being a Seven Star player does not mean much at this casino. THIS PROPERTY EARNS THE TROPHY FOR THE WORST COMPS.

Slot club operates on a "Don't ask, don't tell" basis. The amount of coin-in required to earn
bonus reward credits varies, depending on machine played and whether you win or lose.
Harrah's FAQ

I found one 25c/50c/$1 full pay JOB machine at the bar near the sports book. Later it was out of service because someone had spilled a drink on it. Don't know what its status is now.

*** MIA - *** Many $1 99.9% PKM Game Makers in the Video Poker area on the main floor. (4) $2 99.9% PKM Game Makers in high-limit area. (4) $5 99.9% PKM Game Makers in high-limit area. $10 99.9% PKM Game Makers in high-limit area. $20 99.9% PKM Game Makers in high-limit area.

CW has (4) $2 (10 Play) with 9/6 DBDJ and 9/6 JoB and $1 (3/5 Play) pNSUD. However, they may only pay 2500 for a royal.

CB for $5 PKM is only about 0.06%.

Windsor has always had $2 pickem. Denoms are $1 to $20 (CDN). I think the base cb now is a flat .2 across, it used to be less on the $5 and up (.1/.1/.125).

I was just there over the holidays and the Pick'em at the bars have been replaced with short-pays. I heard the other $1 would be gone shortly.

In the high-limit area, there are now 4 $2 PE - location details unknown. These are on the backside of the 4 $5 PE machines.

I went over to Windsor Casino to see if anything new is going on there. Nothing for the video poker player in the place,it's a vast vp wasteland. Dollar full-pay Pick'Em is about it. And the ones in the bar downstairs are now gone. I played quarter Double Bonus (9/6/5) for about an hour and only built up 7 points? I don't know what that's all about.

Casino Windsor is in the process of taking all of the $1 gamemakers w/ FP Pickem out of the bars, and replacing them w/ gamekings w/ short pay crap on them. Upstairs is done, main bar was 1/3 done as of yesterday. Talked to the tech and he said all bars were going, but he didn't think they were going to change the $1 FP by the host station. More full pay machines die in the Detroit area.

Do we, as video poker players, really give a flying fig whether Windsor Casino is closed or not? While I sympathise with the workers trying to make a fair wage, (I have made many friends there over the years) I don't go there anymore because all they have left to play is a few dollar and up Pick'Em machines. They used to have some other decent vp games and some quarter and fifty-cent Pick'Em, but took them out and changed the scale on Pick'Em to the "Rip-Off Pick'Em" that only pays 50 on the straights and 20 on the threes. Check out some of their inventory of great games: A quarter Bonus game at 94.18% " Deuces Wild 10/8/4/3 " 8/5 Double Bonus " 6/5 Jack's or Better A 50 cent progressive White Hot Aces at 96.38% A dollar progressive 7/5 JB " 10/8/4/3 Deuces Wild These are just a few of the lousy games that they offer. It shows that they absolutely have no respect for the intelligence of players who frequent their gambling emporium. Their marketing strategy stinks and it's no wonder that the Detroit casinos are killing them. So if they went out of business tomorrow, although I would feel terrible for the workers, it shouldn't bother any vp players in the area.
