I re-visited Barona this week hoping to see some more plays. They did have some of my favorite XSuperTimes machines but with all bad paytables.
I did stop to ask what my mere 15K + meant. It was akin to most casinos which valued it as $15 cashback or value at the buffet, and other eating places. One thousand points = $1.
My one bank of 25c, 50c, and $1 multi-game single line was still in place. It is located toward the back of the casino near the secondary slot club desk. It is a circular bank of 5 - 6 machines. I inquired about the two Big Bertha type 3x 25c, 50c, $ which were in the same area on both sides of a big pillar about a year ago.
Management told me that they had not been moved but rather removed from the floor.
The one bank I play has 9/6 job, 8/5 bonus poker, and 9/6 DDB at all the levels.
The one lane road up the mountain side has been approved a bit more with a series of "turnout" so that any really slow vehicle can move move and allow for some passing. I went in on a Tuesday morning and they still had a reasonable crowd even with the recession.
