I was there on Sunday also. The two machines I tried at the sports bar also
only took 5 coins on JOB and these were the same machines that I thought has
taken 10 coins. The machines also has .01, .05, .25 and $1 denom games.
Pennies???
I also went to the hall of lost tribes. The machine I got on right in the
middle only had three versions of spin poker.

The bank of $1 96 at the MS sports bar no longer allow you to play 8 coins
at full pay...at least I could no longer find any of these. I was there on
Sunday night and I checked at least 10 machines and all of them stopped at 5
coins in at the 96 paytable. If anybody finds any that I missed please let
me know.Assuming I did not miss any, I'm a little puzzled by this action by MS.
Since they offer a number of $1 and $5 96 so I'm not totally sure about
their objection with $2. I can only assume that they feel that they can't
get hurt with the $1 game and it brings in a lot of regular VP players.
Also, I assume that they feel that few have the bankroll to regularly and
properly play the $5 so they leave those in.The lack of good $2 games at casinos isn't limited to MS. I have found that
many casinos seem to skip $2 machines. It is a pretty big jump to go from
dollars to $5 for the average player.
