| - Apparently the Gila River folks can't run with the big dogs i.e., Fort McDowell and Casino Arizona when it comes to High Limit Video Poker.
I've written about how Vee Quiva doesn't have but a handful of $1 VP as it's highest VP denomination, now Lone Butte, has removed all of it's $5 VP games. They will soon be joining it's sister casino Vee Quiva as another "grind joint".
Apparently, Management couldn't figure out why they weren't getting any real VP play in the High Limit area and took them out.
Well folks, here's a free "CLUE". "ALL" of your "HIGH LIMIT" games were 'SHORT PAY", just like on a Cruise Ship. Cruise Ships can get away with these types of offerings because you can't just pick up and go down the street.
Those that play in the higher denominations that I've met over the years, know what it takes to risk $25. per hand, and what Lone Butte offered wasn't worth the risk. That's why they voted with their wallets and their feet and play High Limit VP down the street.
How is it that Fort McDowell and Casino Arizona can offer better pay tables in higher limits for video poker and make money at it, and Gila River can't? Until they get it figured out this and the rest of the Gila River group will remain a VP waste land. I'm just guessing, but Wild Horse Pass will follow suit in the near future, as I hardly ever see anyone playing VP in their High Limit room.
