The word is that the last two deuce machines will be remove next
week. Cheers! Bonnie
REPLY: I thought that I had discovered their MIA status this morning
while walking to the poker room. Now I see that I'm just confirming
Bonnie's forecast.
One "Deuces Wild" machine remains in the same spot, but it's now 16-
10 NSUD.
Last Thursday AM, I saw two FPDW in that same spot. Both were
occupied by guys who knew how to play. To me, they were very
conspicuous early on a weekday morning, when Binion's had only about
six customers in the whole building.
I told the friend that I was walking with that the machines probably
couldn't last much longer in light of Binion's financial problems.
I don't think that saving $15/hr will prevent its bankruptcy, but
apparently a manager said, "Somebody do something."
I hadn't been inside Binion's for more than a year. The place LOOKS
nicer than at anytime in my memory, which goes back 30 years. Too
bad that it's dying, but things change and nothing lasts forever.
RIP Benny.
