New: $1, $2 : 99.95% PKM near high limit table games ($80 coin-in per point)

Status Change: Good Games

New Location/Notes - $1, $2, $5, $10, $25 NS Outside High Limit area and in High Limit Pick'em Short pay (10,000 for a Royal)

$0.25 + $0.50 Pick'em are now FP again (along with $1)
Player's club has been changed, $11 coin-in = 1 Base Reward Credit (was $10)
No more cashback for either VP or slots unless you choose to convert your Reward Points into cash (i.e., .05% vs. .167% at other Detroit casinos), in which case you go hungry. No more Bonus Reward Credits for either VP or slots. Very stingy Free Play/BBC amounts. You can get up to 10 times more Free Play/BBC per month from other local Detroit casinos for the same coin-in. No discretionary comps. You need to earn $2,000 Reward Credits (i.e., $22,000 coin-in) for a lunch buffet ($20)! The only Harrah’s property that doesn’t have a Diamond Lounge. You need at least 50,000 Base Reward Credits to access the VIP Lounge (i.e., 5 times Diamond or half Seven Star status). Even being a Seven Star player does not mean much at this casino. THIS PROPERTY EARNS THE TROPHY FOR THE WORST COMPS.

Slot club operates on a "Don't ask, don't tell" basis. The amount of coin-in required to earn
bonus reward credits varies, depending on machine played and whether you win or lose.
Harrah's FAQ

I found one 25c/50c/$1 full pay JOB machine at the bar near the sports book. Later it was out of service because someone had spilled a drink on it. Don't know what its status is now.

*** MIA - *** Many $1 99.9% PKM Game Makers in the Video Poker area on the main floor. (4) $2 99.9% PKM Game Makers in high-limit area. (4) $5 99.9% PKM Game Makers in high-limit area. $10 99.9% PKM Game Makers in high-limit area. $20 99.9% PKM Game Makers in high-limit area.

CW has (4) $2 (10 Play) with 9/6 DBDJ and 9/6 JoB and $1 (3/5 Play) pNSUD. However, they may only pay 2500 for a royal.

CB for $5 PKM is only about 0.06%.

Windsor has always had $2 pickem. Denoms are $1 to $20 (CDN). I think the base cb now is a flat .2 across, it used to be less on the $5 and up (.1/.1/.125).

I was just there over the holidays and the Pick'em at the bars have been replaced with short-pays. I heard the other $1 would be gone shortly.

In the high-limit area, there are now 4 $2 PE - location details unknown. These are on the backside of the 4 $5 PE machines.

I went over to Windsor Casino to see if anything new is going on there. Nothing for the video poker player in the place,it's a vast vp wasteland. Dollar full-pay Pick'Em is about it. And the ones in the bar downstairs are now gone. I played quarter Double Bonus (9/6/5) for about an hour and only built up 7 points? I don't know what that's all about.
