Dec, 2007 Belle of Baton Rouge: $4 = 1 pt (VP), $2 = 1 pt (slots) - 120 pts = $1 cash (0.21%, VP; 0.42%, slots) - best game = 9/6 Jacks, 0.25 & 1.00, several machines. The Belle of Baton Rouge has only about two or three dozen machines containing video poker. Several include 9/6 Jacks, but I don't recall seeing any other full-pay.
Nov, 2004 I'm just back from quick visits to both Baton Rouge boats. It's been reported that Penn Gaming (owner of Casino Rouge) will acquire Argosy Gaming, resulting in one company owning both Baton Rouge casinos. At the Argosy, all video poker is on the second level. Best play appears to be 98.9% quarter triple play Deuces. My most recent information is that the slot club pays slightly over 0.4% cashback on all machines, with double points midnight to 10 a.m., Sunday thru Thursday. Aside from the handful of quarter triple plays, I believe all the other VP is multidenom, and the Argosy appears to have established guidelines for percentage paybacks at each denomination. Games at the dollar denomination pay around 97-98%, quarters 95-96%, and so on down to pennies. On the multidenom machines, games drop off the menu as the denomination decreases. For example, Super Aces appears on the dollar menu with a 6/5 schedule, but it disappears below dollars presumably because the manufacturer doesn't offer a pay table within the guidelines for lower denominations. I found one table of double-deck blackjack, which I believe may have been new. The shuffle card was placed at the midpoint, cutting a full deck out of play.
