Comps are now 1% while cashback is 0.5%.

$1 PKM is mia as of Thanksgiving weekend. The player club card reader for a quarter PKM machine (southside nearest the players booth) was malfunction and gave X4 credit for play. It has been fixed. Cash back has been .50 (and comps .50, but use Shirley Garcia or another exec host) ... and has been for about last 4 or 5 months, with solid bounceback cash mailings (about 45 day intervals) ... Making the MIA PKM at $5, $2, $1 a decent play. The suites are big and roomy with spa, sauna and about 50" rear projection television.

Caesars Tahoe is now owned by the same group that owns Horizon. Some relief from a Harrahs hegemony. Hope that new owners don't do what happened when they acquired River Palms -- fire & rehire. Tried Primavera restaurant (Italian) for the first time & found the cioppino to be very good. I don't normally go to italian restaurants voluntarily but this is worth going back for & it's the way I like it -- no spicy with lots of seafood. Service was excellent.

Caesars Tahoe Sold

There are 9 quarter pick'em machines near the slot club, and the lone $1 machine has had the pick'em removed. There are now 5 $1 pick'em near the entrance to Cleo. The $2 and $5 pick'em are still gone---I think for good. I could not find a single quarter 9/6 JOB level game in the place. I did find some 9/6 JOB at the $1 level in the MG/MD Game Kings in front of the entrance to the Sportsbook. These games will short pay at the .25 and .50 level. They also have 9/6 JOB in the high-limit area in the following denominations: $5, $10, $25, and $100.

The $5 and $2 pick 'em at Lake Tahoe were restored on two side by side machines each, but according to a knowledgable local, a team from Sacramento played the $5 machines, and hit so many W2s that casino management got spooked. Rather than barring the team, Caesars removed the Pick 'em. I just returned from a five night stay, and I can confirm that the Pick 'em was removed from both the $5 and $2 machines. Pick 'em still exists at the $1 and $.25 level.

The $1 and $5 FP pick'em reported as MIA are there. I played them Monday. The .25 pick'em reported in database are still there, and are marked- game maker Keno machines. There are all .25 except for one $1 on end. I also discovered several old Sigma 9/6 DDJ machines. They are located west of the slot club, near the cashier. I had no luck finding any 9/6 JOB, but I did not look at every - location details unknown.

Caesars is reported to have 25c full-pay PKM. The $1/$5 PKM are out of service - malfunctioning problems.
