Post-Katrina, the Isle of Capri is a pleasant surprise. Before The Storm, the Isle had downgraded previously decent 9/6 Jacks or Better games and kept only the quarter games. It had also knocked down its cashback for video poker from around .35 percent (depending on the machine) to around .25 percent.



Since the re-opening in December of 2005, the Isle has increased its 9/6 JoB games, installing quarter and dollar Game Kings and Triple Play/Five Play for quarter, 50-cent and dollar games.



The Isle has maintained its .25 percent CB for VP.



But the Isle doesn?t have a blackjack game to brag about. It still has way too many 8-deck tables, no resplitting of aces, and the evil 6-to-5 single-deck game.



But the Isle does have a nice poker room. It's small but friendly with decent promotions and tournaments.
