     Search for a Royal Quad: Fire Keepers    Royal Quads found! Triple Double Bonus on 50 and 100 play machines.    This would probably be my favorite Michigan casino if they had better pay tables. They have a huge non smoking area with great games. Most casinos have small non smoking areas with lousy games and even lousier video poker games. Three 50 play games and 3 Ultimate X games that I play, smoke free!  2 more 100's in the smoking area.    The 50/100 pay tables.            50's             .02   .05   .10   .25    JOB   7/5                   8/5   BP     6/5                   7/5   DB     9/6                      DDB  7/5   8/5           9/5   TDB   8/5                   9/5   DW     ?    100's       JOB   7/5            8/5   DB     9/6   DDB   8/5            9/5   TDB   8/5            9/5   DW   JP       The best pay tables        99.54% JOB 800 50 25 9 6 4 3 2 1   .25  1 play progressive    99.24% PKM  2000 200 100 18 15 11 5 3 2   .25 1.00  1 play    99.11% DB  800 50 160 80 50 9 7 5 3 1 1   1.00  1 play    98.91% DW44  800 200 25 15 9 4 4 3 2 1   1.00  1 play      .17% FreePlay or Comp.     Open 24/7, 107,000 sq ft with 3000 gaming machines, 86 table/poker games.      Fire Keepers   11177 E Michigan Ave   Battle Creek MI   49014     I won $147.

Everyone with their card in when it hits, gets $15 freeplay. Half price buffet, and $2 drink specials for the first 2 hours after Red Lightning Strikes. They also have a $50,000 jackpot that must hit by $100,000 and a $100,000 jackpot that must hit by $150,000.     Dave  

Have you been to Four Winds in Hartford?  If you havent it is a very small casino and very few VP. Four winds in new buffalo is much better for vidoe poker.

    I've been there 2 times. The first time they had all kinds of 50/100 play with QQs and STP. 3/5/10 play, Spin Poker, and Ultimate X. It was like a mini version of New Buffalo. Next time I went there, all gone. The only good games are at the bar. Somebody must have drawn a 6 figure payday! I played 10 minutes and left. Haven't been back since.     Dave 

We have lost all three times we have been to Four Winds at New Buffalo. Okay, we were usually en route to Chicago. However, we did like their room, the one time we stayed there. The few QQ machines were always in use and that was probably a good thing for me! 

    The smoke-free section is in the process of moving to the hotel lobby, which opens Dec. 12th.       Dave
