Rest in Peace Edgewater and Colorado Belle.
The last of the playable Video Poker is officially history at the Belle and the Edgewater in Laughlin. I've watched for the last five or six years as the opportunities have slipped away. A year or two ago they removed the Optimum Play bank leaving only scattered Bonus Poker and a few others. After checking the vpFREE database I now see they don't even have that. So it's over.
I'm fairly happy playing at the Aquarius though. No trouble getting rooms comped and qualifying play for food isn't that big of a deal but I miss the carte blanche treatment that we had as hosted players at the Edgewater. That's why, when our host called me and wanted us to come back, I seriously thought about making a Bonus Poker trip to the Edgewater- just for old times sake. That is, until I checked the database. Nope, can't even do that.
We play the Optimum Play bank at the Aquarius. It has 100% JOB and 99.66% Bonus and yes, full pay DDB for the daredevils.They short the points for playing the full pay machines but the points that we do accrue are more than enough to get our free vacation. Increasing our chances of going home with money in our pockets is the most important thing for us.
I did want to mention that there is no Full Pay Deuces on the Optimum Play bank at the Aquarius. NSUD only. As a matter of fact, I don't think there is a Full Pay Deuces Wild machine in Laughlin anymore. My, how things have changed.
