First the good:
4 Queens has 12 new uprights opposite the Fremont Street center
entrance change booth (behind the front bar). They are TITO
5c/25c/50c/$1 MGMD with 9/6 JOB, 8/5 BP, 9/7 DB. I am very sorry but I
can't recall what the paytable was on the deuces. I think they may
have been uglies. The machines have red faceplates. One side of the
bank says "Deuces Wild" and the other side says "Bonus Poker." There
is quite a bit of glare on the ones on the east side. I think it's
from the lights above the table games. The machines are quite high and
it can be uncomfortable for us short folks.
The Plaza has 6 more TITO 5c/25c/50c/$1 MGMD with 9/6 JOB, 8/5 BP and
9/6 DDB, uprights in the Winners Circle. Three say "Aces Bonus Poker"
and 3 say "Double Double Bonus."
Bally's has at least 6 - 25c Multi-strikes, slant-tops in a
semi-circular bank opposite the far end of the oval bar across from
Keno. I don't know if these are new or were moved from the hotel area.
I didn't notice any over there, but I didn't spend much time in that
part of the casino.
Barbary Coast - for bartop players, all the machines at the bars have
NSUD, but the machines are old and the keys are sticky. At least they
are TITO. The new Game Kings around the casino all have it too and they
work very nicely.
The bad:
I couldn't find any 8/5 BP in Gamemakers at MGM. It's a big place
though and I may have missed them, but I didn't see any Gamemakers at
all, just Game Kings and they all had nasty paytables.
