Where can I find the best video poker in north east Missouri....Ameristar in Saint Charles? Or, is there a better casino I should visit...

I'll answer my own question...We visited the Ameristar Casino in Saint Charles Missouri and though I didn't go to the upstairs level...the down stairs isn't video poker friendly...I didn't see any triple play other than Ultimate X and other high volatility games...I did manage to be dealt 4 4's with a kicker, but left with a little less than I dedicated to the battle...next stop the SouthPoint in Vegas...a veritable shrine to 9/6 video poker...

Sorry, I was at River City when you originally asked the question.    Also, I personally would call Hannibal NE Missouri, not the St. Louis metro area.

And you must have unfortunately missed the 8 "full pay" VP machines (best is 9/6 Jacks, also has 99.45% Bonus DW, 8/5 Bonus and 9/6 DDB) that are shoved in a corner downstairs, which make you feel punished for playing them.   

But yeah, most other quarter machines are mediocre at best. Some 9/5 DDB games, but more 8/5. Also Ameristar are big enough jerks to even offer 6/5 DDB!

If you get back to St. Louis, I think Hollywood gives better offers and also has one full pay bank of 8 machines that offer 35/8/5 Bonus, 9/6 JoB, 99.45% Bonus DW, 99.29% Joker, 9/7 DB, and 9/6 DDB. They also have a few machines that offer 9/5 Triple Bonus Plus (99.8%, their best game available).

There isn't a large selection of good game here, but they do actually exist!

Good luck at South Point! Love that place! Only casino I can think of that lets "gimmick games" also be "full pay" at the quarter level. And bartops too!

Thanks...a great response...Might visit Hollywood tomorrow before pressing on to Vegas...good luck out there friend...

If you do, good luck! And that "full pay" bank of 8 slant-tops that I referred to is roughly in the middle of the main video poker area next to some Multi-Strike machines and an ATM.
