There is a great host that I use at the Harrah's properties in Atlantic city - Bally's, Harrah's, Showboat, and Caesars. Larry Glassman - email address: [email protected]. Larry is an Independent Casino Rep. I have worked with other casino hosts and Larry stands out as the best. hardidi117

Casino was average but at times too smokey. Buffet was average buy the restaurant is good to the extreme. Accommodations were comfortable and the bedroom tub was an unexpected surprise. jhanson11

As soon as we got there I asked a slot person if there were any JOB 9/6 machines. She was nice and led me to the "only 2 in the casino." When we got to the bank of machines I thanked her and sat down. The man next to me overheard the conversation and informed us that there were actually 8 machines here in the main casino and a few in the high limit area. He was a great guy - (his wife stood behind him and corrected his play). He turned me on to VPFree2.com and showed me the site on his phone. I was impressed. He knew more than the casino employee! These turned out to be the best machines in the casino. On a side note - my wife and I ate at the Italian restaurant with the $39 deal. Honestly - it was the Best! My wife and I sounded like we were in heaven as we ate. I am a foodie and can not say enough about every aspect of the meal. Oh - last thing - kind of funny story. My wife was playing a $40 free slot play in a wheel of fortune machine after dinner. I slid $20 in a red, white and blue slot (probably because I couldn't move after the meal!). With 4 credits left I hit the 12,000 jackpot. I didn't even know what it was with 3 7's on different lines. I told my beautiful wife it was her doing because she sat there. hardidi117

From what I saw - there are a total of four 9/6 JOB machines and they are the best available in the casino. The casino itself is the nicest Harrah's property in A/C in my opinion. hardidi117

This is the place my wife and I enjoy going to from Vegas when we want to have a quick vacation, relatively inexpensive, kind of old style vegas feel when things were smaller, more intimate, more of a person less of a machine yadda yadda. A great spa treatment and massage was good too. Anyway, on to the video poker. No full pay machines at this place. And trust me, I looked. Maybe they once had FPDW, NSUD deuces, and 9/6 Job, but not now. Seems the best they could do is "ugly" deuces wild (98.9%, 1-2-3-4-4-9-15-25-200-800)...the other better ones I could find at the .25c/$1 level was 9/5 Job (98.44%), 9/5 DDB (98.2% with 1199 Royal, of course, same with regular royal (97.8%). Saw some 7/5 BP, 9/5 TDB. But you get the basic idea, nothing at the 99% level or higher, except a progressive exception. The two best progressives I could find was a single line $1 Double Bonus 9/6 at a Royal of $6,445. I have a return of 99.16% for this game. And the other was the 9/5 Job with royal of $5,560. I have a return of 99.27% for that game. I played some of JOB, won three hundred, lost three hundred, but I'm generally a .25c/.50c/ single line/triple play player, so didnt' play long at the $1 level. I'd say, I played 5% nickles (horrible pay tables, horrible results), 15% dollar level on Job progressive, and 80% quarters, winning on both single line DDB and triple play "ugly" deuces wild. As a side note, they do have a nice video poker bar layed out with similiar games and pay tables, and behind it is a stage with music, and the cool thing is they have is another row of video poker games where you can sit and play facing the stage...so can play video poker and watch a free concert at the same time. When we went, after the first meal, we never had to pay for another one as they offered 50% off the meals using players points. 25 points equals a dollar. Every 10 dollar coin-in is one point. So every 100 points is 4 dollars, every 100 points is $1,000 coin in. Put another way, I played mostly quarters single line and triple play, and made enough points on the two day trip to pay for 4 meals at the casa cafe for my wife and I, and about 50 dollars extra in free play. So that pretty much sums up our trip to Casablanca this time in Mesquite. We will be going again, and even if I have a losing trip, we still have a good time, but of course a winning trip is even a better time. Cheers P.S. In regards to the high-limit, I only did a quick look because I don't play on those levels, but noticed they had up to a $5 dollar level VP machines...maybe they have higher, I don't know. But the pay tables didn't improve. I thought they would at least have 9/6 JOB at this level, but I never saw higher than 9/5 JOB and DDB, also 7/5 BP and "ugly" DW. dAAnmAAn
