Ameristar used to be a good place to play, until they built their new hotel. I have had their premere card and always enjoyed myself. I don't necessarily expect to win everytime, but I do expect enough of a return to say I enjoyed myself.

Since they built their hotel, their slots are extremely tight. Every machine seems to be a dry hole that takes your money as fast as it can. We now go to the Lumiere or the Casino Queen where the slots are much looser and we always have a good time. STAY AWAY FROM AMERISTAR if you want to enjoy yourself while gaming. We learned the hard way.
