Apr, 2006 All 1$ and higher Games have been downgraded. So in the database: There are no more 8/5/60 SA (99.9) anywhere. All are now 7/5/60 SA (98.8516). Ther are no more NSUD (99.7) anywhere. All are now 15/9/4/4 IL Dueces (98.9131). There are no more 9/5 SDB (99.7) anywhere. All are now 8/5 SDB (98.69). There are no more 9/7 TDB (99.6) anywhere. All are now 9/6 TDB (98.15). There are no more 9/5/80 WHA (99.6) anywhere. All are now 8/5/80 WHA (98.50). There are no more 9/6 JoB ( 99.5) anywhere. All are now 9/5 Job (98.45). They decimated all the 99+% games except for 8/5 bonus (99.17) and 9/7 DB ( 99.11). I will get an exact count of all machines in the high-limit and Video Poker Room within one week. A lot of machines were shut down in the video poker room. I believe to down grade the paytables. Once again another Harrahs becomes a video poker wasteland.
Mar, 2006 *** MIA - *** (3) $1 (50 Play) 8/5/60 SA MG in high-limit area. (3) $1 (50 Play) NSUD MG in high-limit area. (3) $1 (50 Play) 9/6 JoB MG in high-limit area.
Feb, 2006 Things are looking down at Harrahs Joliet. Several of the 3, 5, and 10 play machines have been downgraded. It appears each week they are shutting a few machines down and changing paytables. Super Aces is now 7-5 on many machines for example, NSUD, and full pay JB appear on the way out as well.
Jun, 2005 Visited Harrah's Joliet last week. All the machines mentioned in the database were still there. In addition, in the Video Poker world, they have a row of at least 6 multiline (3,5) $1 machines with NSUD. ALso , they have added Spin Poker Deluxe machines with $1 NSUD in the high-limit and video poker world areas.

Most Marketing offers aren't deducted from your Reward Credit balance. Hosts can over-ride the new Rewards Program to take care of "good" players. Hosts can't give discretionary comps until all reward credits are used up.
Mar, 2004 At Harrah's Joliet a single $1 3/5/10 play Super Times Pay game has 9-6 jacks. This game is in high-limit. The same machine has 9-6 DDB and 10-6-5 DB. I had never seen the latter pay table before.
Jul, 2003 Harrah's Joliet now also has a $5 admission charge. (This charge does not apply to Diamond members and one guest of a Diamond member). Bonus credits @ Harrah's Joliet accumulate at 1/4th or 1/5th of base credits. BAD BAD BAD. Bounceback on the new "MORE" system is difficult to figure out and varies from bank to bank but is probably not very good. 25c Multi-Strike has 7-5 super aces 25c three, five, ten play and Spin Poker have 9-6 DDB and Illinois deuces (98.913%) The 25c DDB progressive has been reduced from 9-5 to 8-5. Single line 25c DDB is 9-5.
