*** MIA - *** $1 (3 Play) 9/6 JoB in high-limit area.

There is $1 (3/5 Play) in high limit area.

The 9/7 DB, 9/6 DDB, and 8/5 BP set of 8 slant-tops located in the far left side of the Mardi Gras Casino are missing. Also missing are hundreds of other video poker machines stretching from the old poker room area about 2/3 of the way up to the restrooms at the back of the Mardi Gras. The lower-paying, .25 cent progressives against the wall remain (we hit it last night). One row of .05 25-coin progressives remain; the other row is gone. There is also some Super Times Pay remaining, plus the second row of slant-tops against the wall (non-progressive) remain. This is a very small VP area now. A sign in the Poker room area directs you to the Island Casino for video poker (area where the noodle bar used to be). In place of these hundreds of missing Mardi Gras VP machines is a walled- off construction area. On the wall is a picture of a bar area which looks a lot like the (gulp!) I-Bar. At the point of the new bar (where the I-Bar has stand-up blackjack), the picture shows what looks like an automated roulette area, plus one blackjack table. From the diagram, it looks like there are no video poker bartops - that may have been an oversight by the artist. To the rear of the new bar is what looks like a stage - (oh no!). In a brief walk-through, we did not find any of the Mardi Gras machines in other locations. Harrah's machines do have a way of showing up after a few days, weeks, or months. Let's hope so, especially for the set of 8 premium slant-tops. On Wednesday nights, a lounge combo plays on the I-Bar stage in the Island casino. Last night there was a 3-man group who sang mostly Sinatra songs. Apparently Greg Worzel is no longer there, except maybe in the diamond room on Sunday nights. He was great; much better than the Sinatra guys. Anything is better than that cacophony of ex-cheerleader fluff they do at the I-Bar on weekends.

Harrahs has downgraded all 4 of the machines in the high-limit room Mardi Gras side, basically they took 1% off each machine DB now 9/7/239, Dueces now 15/9, DDB now 9/6/239, and the TB now 8/5. Basically there is nothing in the whole store that you can count on except the 10 machines on the Island side that are .25 thru $2 denom and have the big flashing signs on them. They are very popular with the .25 crowd that have no idea how to play, so they could survive quite a while.

*** MIA - *** (1) $1 PROG 9/7 DB.

(1) $1 PROG on the Island side near the high - limit room has been relocated and this machine has been corrected to some much lower paytable and is not playable. In the bank of 'playable' games with the signs on them that I mentioned in a prior msg. There is (1) Super Double Double 99.8% .25/.50/$1/$2. I never programmed in this game and did not know the EV, Harrahs has the sign at 99.8%, but VPfree has it listed as 99.7%, I will check it soon and report back.

I thought I'd be playing 25c/50c/$1 9/6 JoB, but I never found the lone "draw Poker" MD machine on the Island side of the casino. I'd have to say this machine was MIA, as I got some very specific directions on it's location via posts in vpFree_StLouis and I checked every machine in the area around the noodle bar and never found it. I settled for a lone Island side 25c 8/5 Bonus poker machine for much of my 25c play. I also never found the single machine(s) that contained $1 10/6 DDB nor the (1) $1 NSUD machine. These were on the Mardi Gras side and I must admit my search on that side was not exhaustive. I was content to play $1 BP on the island side. The Mardi gras was much more chaotic and there were a lot more machines I would have had to search, many of which were occupied.

Sorry you didnt find the 9/6 jacks machine, it is definitely there on the island side between the entrance and the noodle bar, I check this one frequently, it is in a 12 machine (6 back to back) upright bank and almost every game is 99%+ and they are MD .25,.50,$1,$2 each machine is a different single game (no MG), but there is a good variety for the .25 level players. On the Mardi Gras side along the right wall there is a high-limit VP/slot area and a carosel (sp?) with only 4 machines they are 10/7 DB, 10/6 DDB, 9/5 TB+, and NSUD, they are $1,$2,$5 single line and single game machines, any 250 payoffs are shorted to 239 for the $5 players, but they are also shorted at all levels, so these games are all aprox. 99.7%, they are the best guarenteed plays at Harrahs STL.
