Hollywood: 3 of the .25 9/6 JOB have been removed. 3 still remain. They were replaced by their standard 8/5 DDB (96.7%). They do have some 7/5 Bonus Poker (98.0%). The 5 $1.00 9/6 JOB, 2 - $1.00 3/5 JOB and 2 - $5.00 3/5 JOB remain. The 3 - $1.00 multi games at the Box Office Bar have 8/5 JOB....I think someone reported that they had 9/6.

Cashback: Less than a dollar is 0.33%. Dollar is .4%. Triple play dollar is 0.5%. These are all increased by 50% if you are Marquee level which would make Cashback 0.5%, 0.6% and 0.75%.

*** Cashback is reported as 0.75% on the (4) $1 (3 Play) 9/6 JoB. The countdown on those 4 machines is 20 per point. It has been for at least a year. I last stuck a card in one in January, and it was still 20. The $5 machines and the $1 9-6 J0B on the floor are all 25. The 0.75% CB on those 4 dollar 3/5 machines is the highest in the casino. I wish I were comfortable enough financially to play them. I'm told that I'd need a $60k bankroll for the 3x.

In Tunica, comps are so easy, even heavy quarter players can get in enough action to get attention from a host. I play about $7K per day at Hollywood and I couldn't ask for better treatment (RFB!). The last 5 months, each month I've received $100 cash and $150 Fairbanks (yummm!) coupons. Prior to that, I received $50 cash and $80 Fairbanks. As I said, I normally average between $7-$9K per day for the past 4 trips (over the last year). The past 4 trips, I've received the 'meal card', which gets unlimited food at the Diner and buffet + access to the Director's Club. BTW they've NEVER checked me for ID/credentials to enter the DC! They always have some nice and tasty (hot and cold) food selections available. Top shelf drinks are always comped. For those that have never tried Fairbanks, if you get the chance be sure you go. It's one of the best steakhouses I've eaten at ANY casino in ANY gaming jurisdiction. Their steaks are fabulous. We normally go both nights of our trip, and I sometimes order something besides steak on the 2nd night. Last trip, I tried the Peking Duck (24 hrs notice needed), it was outstanding. They sometimes have lobster egg rolls which are also excellent. It's almost lunch time, I'm making myself hungry ;-)

When I played quite a bit in March I got $35 in bounceback cash twice a month and several good coupons for Fairbanks. During the last 6 months when I played almost nada I have been getting $25 twice a month and $20 for the diner/buffet. That must be the basic amount.

Room comps (if given from a host) count against your comp account if you don't have Directors Club status. If you use the mailer coupons they send out, the rooms do NOT count against your comp account.

It now takes 900 points to obtain Marquee level. Once at Marquee, you must put through another 900 points within 6 months to maintain Marquee status, otherwise you revert back to Screen Test. Our Host at Hollywood: Heather Goff.

"Hollywood has an excellent buffet."

Great players club. Cashback starts @ .33%, and increases to 0.5% after 600 pts have been earned within 6 months. Bounceback seems to run 2 months later - play in JUN will get bounceback for AUG etc.. 300 to 400 pts in one month gets about $25. 400 to 500 pts gets $50 plus free rooms & $50 to $80 for use at steak house. Lots of free slot & golf tour. Great steak house & good cof. shop. v.p. is easy to find, from the main ent. its mostly on your left. Nice hotel, one of the few with rooms that overlook the casino. 4 floors in the older section have just been remodeled.
