No favorites, but Soaring Eagle casino probably had the best overall VP pay tables. From 9/6 JoB, NSUD, to 40/10/6 DDB.

In watching a couple YouTuber's recently, it appears those full pay paytables at Soaring Eagle are still available at lower limits. I need to get there!

Hi, recently rejoined in prep for the monthly contest in July. A ton of coin in at Michigan online Casinos. Too much free play dished out it seems to me. Thoughts on why? Can we "rely" on VP pay tables online? Your thoughts, please. mba75

Resuscitating this - been playing pretty much everywhere and no doubt about it, I like Soaring Eagle most in terms of paytables. Having said that, in terms of the whole facility and whether or not I like the decor, the restaurants, the slot machine selection, the hotel: Firekeepers is probably my overall favorite to actually go to and spend time inside. I don't really dislike any of them either, though in terms of aesthetics I quite enjoy Little River and Gun Lake too.

I'll actually be making my first visits to the Kewadin Sault Ste. Marie and Island casinos in a couple of weeks - not expecting much given what's on VPFree2 but the hotel rooms are cheap for 4th of July weekend and should be good enough as a base for the UP and other stuff.

Most comments in this thread about Soaring Eagle are accurate.
Good pay tables and lots of good machines
For example, full pay JOB at 5c-$10, Bonus Poker and DDB at even better payback can be found.

The catch is not so pretty.
VP players. as of 4/17/23, can no longer play their earned FP, bonuses, or points, on VP machines!!
The only option is their extremely tight slots! Joining those poor lost souls would be the ultimate insult!

This latest round of dissing VP comes on the heels of their doubling the coin-in to $2/point to earn a tier point.
Putting VP players at a 4-1 disadvantage to slotees who get 2 points per $1 coin-in.

I have been top card at SE for 12 years.
Will not be as of July.

It's interesting that you are just now reporting that you may have reduced your play at Soaring Eagle as back in December of 2017 you were griping about your reduced freeplay and getting free rooms. With you being a top player and all.

He who hesitates is lost. We are such creatures of habit, too stubborn to change and discard outmoded shibboleths. I am joining a good deal of AC players in voting with my feet and reducing Caesars play. As stale as Resorts is, at least it’s a breath of fresh air. Escape the inferior environment. Be a discriminating consumer, not a victim.

Does playing a 7/5 JOB machine fit your definition of a discriminating consumer?
