This last weekend I noticed a couple of new machines at the Atlantis. Where the 2 All American used to be (near the radical royals $1 10/7 DB by the atrium bar), the machines had been replaced by a couple of machines that had no video poker on them. Now there are two new Bally GameMaker machines that are TITO. These machines offer $.25 and $1 full pay Pick'em, but also off a new game at both $.25 and $1, Joker Pick'em 5 play.
As I have no means of determining correct strategy or the return on Joker Pick'em, I did not note the pay table. If someone's software can actually handle this game, or wants to know the pay table so they can analyze the game and publish strategy and returns, I'll make a note of it next time I'm able. It's also the first time I'd encountered a Pick'em style game in a multi-line format (actually the first time I'd seen any Bally machine offer a multi-line VP game).
Another thing I notice on the new Game Makers, Bally is finally catching up in some areas to features that IGT has had on its machines forever. For instance, there is now a "Pay Table" button on the screen so you can see the pay table for the game without putting money in or hoping that the last player had played the game you are interested in at full coin. The graphics on the Bally machines is still ugly in comparison to the IGT machines, but they have improved the graphics somewhat.
