27-28 Dec Short Trip report - IP Biloxi

Had a negative trip. $1, 8/5 bonus poker progressive. Jackpot built from 4750 to 5225 while I played 2660 hands. Dropped $1050. By my calculation that's a 92.11% return. S**t sandwich. There ya go, beat that!

When in Biloxi, I recommend the Half Shell oyster house. Everything is good. The other than raw oysters are flame broiled rather than baked. Get the sampler and go from there. The building is old and cool. The joint features a men's room with oyster shell walls, so make sure you drink enough drafts to partake. If you run across anything you don't like, you'll be making news.

I visited the area not too long ago and stayed at the smoke-free Palace Casino Resort. The hotel there is excellent, but Biloxi is a tough place to play video poker. The casino floors are overwhelmingly dominated by reel slots, and the slot clubs are unfriendly to vp. I don't exactly remember the system at the Palace, but it was something like $2 per point for slots, $7.50 per point for vp, and the vp was excluded from multipliers, plus the free play was limited to slots only.

Better variance to you next time. Those 92% sessions are brutal.

Agreed. IP is a Boyd property, in Vegas it's 1 point per dollar, Biloxi, 3 points per $5.
