gone May 2004
dollar and two dollar bar double bonus progressives: gone Jun 2004
last dollar double bonus progressives: gone Aug 2004

maybe you weren't aware these games existed in the first place?

I played the dollar double bonus progressive one week ago. There were two people (including me) playing on the seven machines and the royal was up to over $4800. Two of these machines were TITO and fast. The ten coin JOB progressive with $9400 reset still had the same bank of five or six old machines plus several new TITOs, all linked. It was hit at about $9800. If you are referring to FPDW, I think these two old machines have been gone longer than 10 months but you are right, they are gone.
I guess my point is that there is enough left to play without fretting about what is gone. I'm not a professional and if I can play a break even game with a decent cash bonus and full comps, that's good enough for me.
What is "trade up?"

And they are now gone. Do you consider that a downgrade?

There were two people (including me) playing on the seven machines

and the royal was up to over $4800.

10/7 dollar double bonus with $4800 progressive using:
http://www.gamblingtools.net/vp/vpanalyzer.html
requires a bankroll of $38,390 *with perfect play* and allowing 10%
risk of ruin (loss of whole bankroll).
Maybe that's why only two people were playing?

Two of these machines were TITO

and fast. The ten coin JOB progressive with $9400 reset still had the
same bank of five or six old machines plus several new TITOs, all
linked. It was hit at about $9800. If you are referring to FPDW, I
think these two old machines have been gone longer than 10 months but
you are right, they are gone.

Practically the whole casino was brand new, full speed, TITO, full pay
deuces wild and joker poker. Of course these are now gone. Do you
consider that a downgrade?

I guess my point is that there is enough left to play without

fretting about what is gone. I'm not a professional and if I can play
a break even game with a decent cash bonus and full comps, that's good
enough for me.

Cash bonus? Full comps? At the Peppermill? Maybe you haven't noticed
but comps have been downgraded also, especially for video poker. Also
the Peppermill uses a strange comp banking system that pretty much
guarantees you can never actually use all the comp that you earn.

What is "trade up?"

It's gone, so what's the point?
