Empress

That game has existed for quarters at the Majestic Star and still does but who knows for how long. Last labor day my mom hit a 3x royal on it.

Hi Howard-

"He" is a "she."

When I was there, the bar on the lower level was full, so I was
unable to check the tables. I was however able to check the tables
at the bar upstairs - which always had a nice selection of FP games.
No more. The TBP+, NSUD, JB, DDB, BPD, SA, and SDB are all history.
It is hard for me to believe that they would have shorted one bar and
left the other unscathed.

In answer to the original poster's question, my favorite game at the
Empress was never published - that being JB STP w/ 3L, 5L, and 10L.
I have never seen that game in its FP version anywhere except for the
Empress. I was surprised it lasted as long as it did.

You may want to see Correna's email from a few days ago. He

indicates

that the Empress has been totally stripped of playable video poker.

If

you do go there, please check the 2nd bar on the lower level. The

left

side used to have NSUD for quarters, halves and dollars and Triple

Pay

Plus for dollars. (If these still exist, could you please let us

know.)

I used to enjoy these and the $1 9-6 DDB progressive. The latter is

now

8-5. The right side of that bar had a very expensive full pay

option.

$1 Ten Play that included 8-5 super aces.

You are correct Howard, I should have been more specific. That game
does not exist at the $ level anywhere that I am aware of; I knew MS
had it at the 25c level. It would be wonderful if it stays - but I was
only able to play on those once... they are very busy machines.
