Two machines I have played for years.put in a total of $400 and hit TWO $5 pay - offs, and maybe Ten or Twelve $2 pay - offs. They have also tightened up the slot machines. And since I'm one of the millions of Texans that support the LA casinos, I won't be making that extra hour and a half round trip to Coushatta, when I'm getting better treatment in Lake Charles. Table minimums are LESS at the high dollar casinos in Lake Charles. I know, just like every other business, that Coushatta lost money during the pandemic, and so have all the potential customers.but it seems someone running things has decided the 'short-sided' way of thinking, where you try to get the customers who have shown up to support your casino, should be GOUGED into making up for the casino's losses, in as short a time as possible.
Mississippi Stud which has ALWAYS been $5 minimum antes with a $50 max bet.is NOW a $15 ante with a $150 max bet. You can only play two hands of Let It Ride for ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Table minimums have increased 300% from pre-covid times. After waiting for over a year (because of Covid) to return to my favorite Casino, I was 'heart broken' at what I found.
