Most good video poker on the Majestic Star 2 is gone! Remaining 99%+ games are: The six "9-6" machines in the rear carousel. The one $5 machine. The three Super Times Pay in the six machine carousel. The Super Triple Play (which has moved.) The four machines on the left wall that contained .25 9-7 DBAF are now on the Majestic Star 1.

The move has no downgrades whatsoever (Except that the $5 Progressive is slated for removal about 7/17/11.). Some machine number changes. Some slants have gone to uprights. 1 each new listing at 25c and $1 for 9-7DB and 9-6 Jacks.

There is a bank of seven 25c/50c/$1 bartops on the 2nd level (same level as the regular vp room but on the other side near the table games.) At 50c and $1 the following games are available: NSUD, 9-6 BP Dlx, 9-7 TDB, 9-6 Jacks, 8-5 BP and 9-7 DB.

*** MIA - *** (1) $1 (3 play) NSUD & 9/7 TDB first machine on right hand wall in main vp room. $25 9/7 DB (50,000 SEQ RF) in high-limit area.

The old $1 Triple Play at the far right front that contained NSUD and 9-7 TDB has been replaced by a new 3/5 play at lower denominations and poor pay tables. 2. The $25 machine that had 50,000 credit sequential royals (best game was 9-7 DB) is MIA. (Probably the suits were afraid to pay out $1-1/4 million. - There are four $1 games with the 50,000 coin sequential RF but the only game with that feature is 8-6 BP Deluxe. Including the SQRF brings this to barely 99% so we may not want to list it.

MS 2 now has two 5c/10c/25c Super Triple (Five) Plays. The only game over 99% is 25c 7-5 SA at 99.02%. The rest of the games are short pay. The new 5c Big Times Pay on both boats is all very short pay.

For the really high roller on the MS2, I saw a $5/$25 MG single line on which some games 50,000 credit sequential royals. The only sequential royal 99%+ before add the SQRF I saw here was $25 9-7 DB. With the Sequential this clocks in at almost 99.6%. Possible $1-1/4 million. This machine is where all the other high roller games are. Completely different set-up in the VIP lounge for food now. They serve you soup and you order a sandwich (usually a wrap) and a drink. This is similiar to how Trump did it (I think they are using the old Trump VIP room to prepare the sandwiches.) when they owned the boat. Seems a lot better than the other setup (It couldn't get any worse!!).

Marketing offers appear to be based on many factors, including (in estimated order of importance): win loss, machine played, length of play, coin-in.

MS2 has 25c (100 Play) machines in the video poker room on 2nd floor.

*** MIA - *** (4) 5c (100 Play) NSUD, 9/6 Bdlx, 9/7 TDB, 9/6 JoB, 9/7 DB and 9/6 DDB MG/MD bartops in the 3rd floor deli.

The four 5c 100 play MG/MD games that were in the Don and Mike bar are now in the 3rd floor deli on the MS2. At least one 25c 9-5 TP+ and two 25c 9-4-4 bonus deuces. Host Karen no longer with the MS.

The two 25c/50c/$1 games (3678 & 3710) near the left rear of the main vp room have been downgraded in all denominations. No single-line game under $1 better than 9-6 jacks on either boat.

Still more downgrades! The six $5/$25 machines at the front of the main VP room have downgraded games other than 9-6 jacks which is the only 99%+ game on the machines. Only know of two 25c NSUD and 9-5 TB+ and only a handful at $1. Not surprisingly, the 1c game has been removed.

More pulled games and downgrades! 25c 3/5/10 play downgraded. Five Play Multi-Strike not found. 25c & $1 White Hot Aces downgraded. BP Dlx on 1c 50 and 100 play downgraded. Fewer 25c machines with 9-5 TP+ and NSUD. I did not see 9-6 BP Dlx or 9-4-4 Bonus Deuces. I also did not see full pay 50c & $1 games but I did not do a complete check so they may still be there. Please let me know. There is a single line 1c game with NSUD!

The two 50 plays with 9-6 BP Dlx and 8-5 Bonus are now 1c only. Fewer 25c single lines with NSUD and 9-5 TB+ but some still do exist as my mom played NSUD and I played both games yesterday (Machines 3693 and 3694 on the right wall, 2nd and 3rd from the rear in the 2nd floor main room).
