Missed this thread.

This is the worst I've seen in a US casino.

Sam's Town Tunica in April of 2019. 91.10% optimal payback.

Just back from a free play pick up at Gun Lake casino between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo and found numerous machines with this lousy pay table except theirs is the 10/8/5 version, so be careful out there. They do still have $1, full pay 8/5 BP on 3/5/10 play in high limit. The hotel room was fairly nice too.

I can't remember Twin River/Ballys Lincoln Casino EVER having good VP. Even during its expansion days of adding VLTs to its Greyhound Racing, it stunk - and I can't for the life of me understand why those 20-year-old machines can still be found on the casino floor.

They do have multi-play machines, but they are not your usual IGT. A few 3-play & 5-play are available, but only at nickel play. The only time I played VP was to play off free play. I guess that scared them that it would break the bank, so, it's been over five years since that is not allowed anymore, cementing the fact that they are one big slots joint with enough table games to make it look like a real casino. Mikeinri - great report.

There is nothing to play there. In 30 years of New England VP here, I've never seen worse. And if you have free slot play, you cannot use it on any VP machines. I can't get over how they still have the old VLT machines when it was Twin River, the Greyhound Park - with even worse paytables - and people still play them!
