Video Poker Forum

   Royal quads found. Open 24/7, the casino has 32,000 sq. ft. and 850 gaming machines. The video poker machines, mostly Game Kings, are spread throughout the casino. All are single play, and most are .05 .10 .25 .50 1.00 with full pay JOB. I normally play multi line games, but this casino is the closest one to my home, less than 40 miles. Plus the combo of full pay JOB and TDB, along with generous free-play and comps, make this a positive expectation casino. This may no longer be true. As of Oct. 1st  2013, my clan of 6 are all receiving much less than half of our previous free play. The following paragraph is no longer valid and will be changed as soon as they can tell me how they determine free play.
 
   You see, 16,000 points over 6 months, will net you $20 a week in free play (Jan. 1st through June 30th, and July 1st through Dec. 31st.), Sun 12:01 am through Wednesday 11:59 pm. One dollar coin in is 1 point for video poker, 2 points for slots. So $520 in free play, divided by say, $20,000 coin in will net you 2.6% for the following 6 months. 20,000 points is worth $20 free play (.1%), and .5% food/gift shop comps. Senior day, 8am Wednesday through 11:59 pm Thurs, is $5 free-play and a hot seat type promo for those 55 and older.
 
 
     Update, August 27, 2013
     10 Super Star machines were added in April. This gives Saganing the multiline games it lacked. These machines have 3/5/10, Spin Poker and Ultimate X.

I appreciate your forum post, davidearl. We were not impressed with Saganing Eagle's Landing on our first visit, shortly after it opened and had not returned. You make it sound like a better place to play and we should give it another try! It's location is convenient on our way UP NORTH. 

  Thanks Marie. Our first impression was bad, too.  When we first went there, you could smell the smoke while still outside. The air quality is much better now. Now, if they'd put some multi-line video poker in, and improve the selection.......It's been 5 years this month, probably not gonna happen.        Dave

  Where is this casino? never heard of it. 

Saganing Eagle's Landing has a STANDISH mailing address and is close to the EAST side of Saginaw Bay, on a par with the tip of the thumb. OK, I am holding up my LEFT hand and pointing to Standish on the mid RIGHT of pointer, as a true Michigander!  Those who have never been to the beautiful water wonderland state will have no clue. Check out their web site for location details. Actually, we staggered around trying to find it that first time and certainly hope they have better signs now!

   I 75, exit 188.   Go a bit more than 2 miles.   Turn right on M 13 S.   Go less than 2 miles to a blinking yellow light with a Shell station.   Turn left on Worth Rd. Go a little more than two and a haft miles E.   2690 Worth Rd   Standish, MI       Dave  

  I will look that up, we have gone to every other casino up north but not that one, wanted to tell you we went north over new years, had a good time, didn't win  big but brought all our money back after 2 days. Little River was packed, they were giving away huge amounts of money, the last name called happened to be sitting right by me and she screamed along with a little F bomb thrown in,,,,, She was last draw of the night and walked away with 13,000 not a bad night. Nobody was playing VP ! You could have any machine in the place, played for awhile but soon figured out why they were free to play, Vp for me has been a bust, though my husband did play some nickel machines and did very well,,,,,,,,, so it was fun. Thanks for the info on a new place to check out.  Mendon

Interesting post, mendon. Report your impressions back to us after you win at Eagles Landing!
