Player's Club Update

Info Change: Owner's name change

Quarter level games are horrible

There are now only (2) of the APDW machines (3/5 play) MG. It takes approximately 80,000 points in a 6 month period to reach VIP status. It takes approximately 480,000 points in a 6 month period to reach Brighton status. I do not know how many points you need to reach Brighton Elite status.

I recently visited the Grand Victoria while visiting in Chicago. Points were $1 = 1 point. Cashback 0.1%, and comps about .08%. Best games that I could find were $1 NSUD, and nothing worthwhile in quarters, though I did not chaeck each and every machine. I think that the lower cashback is due to the recent increase in taxes on the casinos in Illinois. They did not have an admission fee.

I wrote awhile back about the addmission prices and other changes to Hollywood Casino in Aurora. An interesting note on Grand Victoria in Elgin is that they are NOT at this time planning to charge an admission fee. Also, no other changes in restaurant hours or the elimination of the VIP Lounge was noted. Also, no charge for parking...in fact valet parking is FREE for ALL players Mon-Thurs. I find this a brilliant ploy on their part to lure the disgruntled players away from Hollywood which is only about 20 miles to the south. I know many people who go to either/or as they live close to both. I bet they start going to one more than the other.
