Sep, 2006 Agua Caliente in Racho Mirage has a set of $1 9/6 Jacks Progressives. They also have 9/6 Jacks on $1/$/$ 3/5/10 plays in high-limit - but all the other video poker on those machines is real junk. I didn't spend a lot of time evaluating their players card system, but comp dollars seemed to accrue real fast even on 9/6. Agua Caliente also has a verison of Bonus Deuces that pays like 98.8%.
Sep, 2004 Agua Caliente/Spa Casino: Agua Caliente is technically in Rancho Mirage, and the Spa Casino is in Palm Springs proper. Both of these casinos share the same player's club, called Club Paradise. $1 played earns 1 point; 1000 points is good for $1 towards meals and dining discounts and mostly logo merchandise at both casinos. I have nothing of note for Agua Caliente in terms of playable VP, but the Spa had some good stuff. The lone Multi-Strike on the main casino floor that's mentioned in the database with full-pay 9/6 JOB also has full-pay 9/5 Super Double Bonus which should be even better ($1 denom only; 25,50 cent are short-pay). There is a circular bar in the center of the casino that has about 5 bartop Multi-Strikes with 9/6 JOBs and NSU Deuces at the $1 denom only. Be careful, one of these bartops pays only $1250 instead of $4000 on 5-coin royal in the 9/6 JOB game (according to the displayed paytable). The 4 $1 8/5 Bonus prog. machines mentioned in the database are not in the high-limit room; they are on the main casino floor. Same goes for the machines with 9/6 JOB flattop and 8/5 Aces$. These flattops also have 9/6 Bonus Deluxe, 9/4 Bonus Deuces Wild (99.45%), and 9/5 Triple Bonus Plus (99.8%).
Jun, 2004 , my last trip out there. What I found (I didn't check DW or JW game paytables since I don't play DW or JW games because I don't care for the volatility or new strategy to deal with) was the following (and I didn't count how many machines of each game there were): 1). $0.25 8/5 BP in some GameMaker machines; 2). $0.25 8/5 JB Progressives (in GameKing MG machines -- with separate RF Jackpots on each machine); 3). $0.25 7/5 SA with linked separate Progressive Jackpots for 4 Aces and RF; 4). $0.25 7/5 JB 8-coin Progressives (on banks of Pot O' Gold machines); and 5). $1 7/5 JB Progressives in the high-limit area. They do offer .10% comps and sometimes I get FreePlay coupons from them (most recently $5 for December and $5 for January). They (and the Spa Casino) currently also have a promotion where new members get a Scratch card which may have from $5 to $500 in FreePlay and current members who bring in a new member get whatever the new member(s) get.
Jun, 2004 I don't know whether you should report this or not, but there was some semi-stuff at Agua Caliente in late
