Jackpot, Nevada gambling report:
Four Jacks: the last time I was in there, which was August 2005,
their last ancient 25c FPDW machine was sitting unplugged. So unless
there is a newer report regarding a comeback for FPDW at this casino,
it is gone.
Cactus Petes full pay VP all gone: Last spring, Cactus Petes had NSUD
at the dollar level and up at bartops and slant tops near the
buffet. It also had full pay JOB at $5.00 and $10.00 on the slant
tops near the buffet. Last night, I couldn't find a single full pay
machine in the casino. I looked for jokers games, NSUD, and JOB.
Barton's 93 Club:
NSUD video poker: Six upright MG/MD machines next to the main bar and
the poker tables on the south end of the casino have 5/10/25 cent
NSUD VP: The machines say they are 5 cent machines and have Jokers
Wild on them. The coin-out is in Nichols if your return is less than
$50. There are also 5 cent NSUD machines in the room where the exit
ramp to the adjoining motel is located. There are six five cent
machines located against the wall that separates the casino from the
motel and some have NSUD and some don't. There are also machines
next to the ramp that have 5 cent NSUD VP.
Two Pair Joker Poker: The six upright MG/MD machines next to the main
bar and the poker tables on the south end of the casino that have
NSUD also have 5/10/25 cent full pay (99.92%) two pair joker poker.
The machines say they are 5 cent machines and have Jokers Wild on
them. In addition, the 10 slant top MG/MD machines next to these
machines and the main bar also have full pay two pair joker poker at
5/10/25 cents.
Pick-em: Six five cent Multi-Game five cent VP machines in a cluster
near the south wall in the room where the exit ramp to the motel is
located have Pick-em at the 5 cent level. There may also be Pick-em
at the $1.00 and $5.00 level in the "high stakes area (:>)" I didn't
check their pay-off at the five coin level and so I am not sure.
Comp rate: Barton's 93 Club published cash/comp rate is 0.4% for cash
or comps and 0.48% for free slot play; $5.00 being worth one point.
When I calculated the comp rate for video poker, a point was worth
$7.50 and the comp rate was 0.23%.
