I have been going to the Hard Rock Casino since 2006. Back then, the slots were Class II, bingo slots. I would win huge jackpots occasionally, although it took hours. The most was $50,000. on a Lotto Machine, although the Asians seemed to know when jackpot time would come and would "camp out" on machines. The most I would spend back then was $500-1000 per visit, but would always have enough to play for hours, and sometimes win a good jackpot. I would come home with 4 or 5 jackpot slips averaging $1500. Once the slots were changed to Class III "Vegas Style" slots, I began to lose. They slowly removed the "big jackpot" bingo slots, and replaced them with fancy Vegas style machines with all the bell and whistles, but NO JACKPOTS. There was a time when you would hear bells ringing and clerks running around with jackpot slips. Now, that is NON-EXISTENT. I used to travel to the Ft. Lauderdale Hard Rock and it appeared TIGHT. Employees would say Tampa was the best. NOT ANYMORE!!!! I have the Highes Level VIP Players Club Card with over 3,000,000 points of play accumulated over the years. I receive $500 a week in freeplay, BUT....I dont win! Even when I do, a Hi-Limit slot of $25-50 a spin, will payout $1200-2100 average. So I stopped playing in Hi-Limits and went to 2 cent machines, where I can occasionally win a $3,000. jackpot playing MAX BET.Due to my VIP status, I pay nothing for drinks, food or hotel rooms, but now I spend an average of $5,000 per visit a few times a month. They gave me an I=Pad and a Gucci Watch, but compared to the $200,000 I spent there last year its a drop in the bucket. The Staff and amenities are great, but the new hotel theyve been promising has not even broken ground. They keep expanding the number of slots, and are always building new parking to accomodate the MALL LIKE crowds.Bottom line--- If you come to the Hard Rock for fun, youll have a great time. If you come to Gamble, BE CAREFUL !!!!
