It was during my last visit last month to Planet Hollywood, that I just gave up. All the bar machines were downgraded to 7/5 for DDB, JOB was 6/5, no matter what denom you played. Floor games that were previously 9/5 were cut to 8/5 across all denominations. That was all I needed to see. I went straight across the street and played at Bellagio, and Cosmo, both who have better pay tables. See ya Caesars!
I also talked to a few former seven stars VP players who were passing through PH and getting in some Tier credits on their way back to the MGM where they were now staying and now more loyal to (now they are currently diamond with CET). Once they saw the paytables, they laughed, then got up to leave, informing me that MLIFE has been much better for them, fairer paytables and you can actually win at their properties. Imagine that. This seems to be a repeating theme I hear (and witness) at CET properties; Not enough winning. As someone who's played a lot of hands of VP in various casinos, I think there's something to it.
While a glut of rigged machines at CET properties might not be provable at this point the downgrade of the paytables is simply a massively greedy and insulting 'fuck you' to their loyal players, like me, who now find ourselves wandering more and more to other properties and playing, and losing, less and less at Caesars casinos. I find that I get pretty much the same shitty comps no matter how much I play. Free rooms are always easy to get, especially if you are willing to forgo Caesars. With little play you can use the rooms to go visit a hotter mistresses across the street who has better breath, bigger tits, and lacks the yeast infection that Caesars seems to have developed. That's my plan.
