Horseshoe Hammond (Indiana) video poker questions

[Dan Druff]

I have heard about a 99.96% return game at Horseshoe Hammond. Which game is this, and is it still there? Does it allow you to earn 1 tier per $10?

Also I am looking at vpfree2, and it appears that the only 99%+ machines listed there which give 1 tier per $10 are deal/draw machines. I see that there are 9-6 Jacks or Better and 8-5 Bonus Deal-Draw machines supposedly giving 1 tier per credit. Is this true? Anyone have an idea on the actual return on such machines?

The good games there were taken out long ago as far as I know.

I looked at vpfree2 before making this thread, but it raises more questions than it answers.

Vpfree2 is not good at providing returns on nonstandard games, such as Deal/Draw, Super Times Pay, Ultimate X, etc. This makes it a bit hard to follow sometimes.

jbjb, have you been to that property recently?

Last I was there, their best game was $1 9/6 JoB STP on Spin Poker. This was a few years ago. I have heard others say that all games there have been downgraded. As for coin in for tier points, that I don't know about.

They offer a 9/6 DDB $1 progressive with standard points. The meter is slow, but occasionally the game goes positive. It was there around New Years, but I haven't been back there since.

I heard that someone hit a massive dealt hand on STP or ULTX and soon after the paytables were downgraded somemore - despite already being mediocre.
