Sep, 2010 Seems the Isle has backtracked, to our advantage. All 13 Game Maker new uprights to the left of the cage have both full pay Pick'em and full pay JOB at the dollar denom. The quarter paytables still suck, but at the dollar level things are looking up. BTW, if you play Pick'em one coin at the dollar level, it is better than the quarter game at 5 coins.

May, 2010 More bad news from the Isle. It looks like management finally figured out that new Gamemakers that replaced the old coin droppers last November came with chips that had full pay games at the dollar level. About two weeks ago they took the 7 machines against the wall out of service, and this week they went back in service with new chips. Dollar Pickem is now the 98.17% version and the quarter play return is 96.69%. The slot tech I talked to on May 12th said the six machines in the center group are also due to be "upgraded" in the next week. In a little over a year video poker play at this casino has gone from by far the best in Kansas City to by far the worst (and the worst in Kansas City is really saying something). The play reflects this--the video poker section of this casino is mostly barren of players these days. Isle Management if you are listening, a bigger cut of the action is only good for you if people are willing to put money in the machine, right?
