Walked in there today. $25 JOB Twenty Five dollars, not cents! 6-5 just as you said. Biggest ripoff in Biloxi, no doubt.

Actually its only a rip off for those who play video poker. For those on this forum who do coin-in AP analyses of video poker, it would not be the plae to go and it is good that they now know this, but for those who play craps there is little relevance other than to know that if a craps player gets tired and wants to sit down at a slot machine to rest his back, he would be wise not to select a video poker machine to rest at.

I like to keep a vague 'casino profile' in mind: smoking or not, good air conditioning temperature, background noise, number of craps tables, Minimum bets, odds allowed, BJ as 3:2 or not, buffet price, comp reputation. I don't bother with video poker because I could barely play poker.

IF a casino is accessible by shuttles or the like that is a plus.

So I took a trip to Biloxi on Sunday....stayed at the SP (Room 1518, corner room) thanks to reaching out to a host there and sending her my offers at other casinos. First impressions is that it's a nice, clean casino. The room was really nice, but if it didn't have the floor to ceiling windows then I probably wouldn't have thought it as highly. The casino had literally all new (video digital) slot machines, which is great if you like the new themes but if you are looking for any basic reel machines you would be hard pressed to find them. It was actually pretty crowded for a Sunday but they were giving away a Chevy Spark. Was actually shocked that they didn't have any $5 BJ on Sunday....everything but craps was $10 mins. Played a ton of slots while I was there and earned about 4400 points, so we will see what kind of offers they send me. Overall, I probably would go back, but I did notice that there weren't too many other amenities (even bars) that some of the other bigger casinos in Biloxi have. Also, some of the cocktails servers seem to be "new" because some didn't get the fact that a $5 upfront tip meant "please bring me my drink ASAP" :)

Well, since you asked, here's the scoop:

On 22-Apr-2017 Scarlet Pearl gave away a Lincoln MKC (value $32K+). The scheduled car giveaway for 21-May-2017 (later today) is a Chevrolet Spark (value $13.5K+). So, yes, Scarlet Pearl does seem to be giving away "just domestic" cars.

So, you report the casino plans to give away a riding lawn mower in June (just as everyone's lawn is turning into a forest and the old mower seems hard to start). Could be they are in deep financial doo-doo (Lincoln - Chevy - mower). Or, it could be they are shrewd like a fox, hmmm?



That's a crazy drop-off...and I would have given away $10k in FP before giving away that piece of crap Spark. I pray to never have that as a rental again!

Yesterday saw a pickup parked next to that fancy mower. Didn't think to look but looks like a double offer!
