Desert Diamond Casino West Valley has the worst video poker pay tables in the Phoenix/Glendale area. On a recent trip I had the opportunity to visit the grand opening of this casino and I couldn’t believe what I saw.

I don’t expect to see full pay video poker pay tables in an Indian casino but what I saw at the grand opening of Desert Diamond Casino West Valley was almost criminal. I was shocked to see that every video poker game at the casino was programmed to extract as much money as possible from the player. In other words, the pay tables have been adjusted to the manufacturers tightest possible settings. In case you’re new to this, experienced video poker players refer to those machines as being ‘short’. When a machine is programmed to it’s highest paying setting it’s said to be ‘full pay’.

There are several settings that a casino can chose for video poker payouts. Most Indian casinos program their machines on the low side but not the lowest. While those machines are far from paying the full amount that they could, they could be a even shorter. Desert Diamond Casino has chosen to set their video poker machines to the shortest possible settings, making them, what I believe to be, the worst worst place to play video poker games in the Phoenix/Glendale area.

Does Desert Diamond Casino Have Poker

They are the only casino in the far west part of of town so I can see how they might believe that people will play the their machines regardless of how short the payouts are. And the percentage of local gamblers that understand how to read video poker pay tables is probably low. So, from a marketing and profit perspective, I get it.

Having said that, there is a certain percentage of the gambling population that is somewhat educated about casino gambling and video poker in particular. When these gamblers see pay tables like the ones at Desert Diamond West Valley, their overall view of the casino is that management is way too greedy. It is likely that the other games, slots and bingo, are programmed similarly ; to take as much money from their patrons as might be legally or technically possible.
