Technically Dubuque is west of the Mississippi although just west since you can see the river easily from both casinos.
Our local favorite, Diamond Jo, recently became a Boyd Casino and then slashed what was already a marginal video poker inventory. What was 9/5 JOB (98.45%) became 7/5 (96.15%) along with all other games. This took place just before the Labor Day ten times point multiplier. We would normally show up early and bang away for hours.
Sad, but with an inventory of unplayable video poker, we will not be playing video poker there.
I like playing black jack there but suspect that 6/5 will show up before too long. I guess that a larger hold on fewer customers is better than a smaller hold on more customers.
