1/10 and 1/11 trip.
All the ducks are ugly and the sky is gray.
Harrah's Tahoe: there are no NSUD, checked every machine and even the
$500 ducks are UGLY. There are no DJ (Double Jackpot) banks.
Harvey's Tahoe: confirmed the FPDW machines were downgraded. The $1 BP
progressive bank is still there.
Bills' Tahoe: confirmed the PKM are gone. There is a bank of 25c coin-
in full pay JOB uprights on the hwy 50 wall. In the back corner are 4
25c 18-7 JW uprights with 4700 royals (99%+).
The Harrah's trend seems pretty obvious at this point--no machine over
99.5%. Did the person who reported the downgraded Harrah's Reno DBP
check the NSUD payouts in the same machines? I would be willing to bet
that they were downgraded at the same time.
note: the Harrah's "slot day" now seems to start at midnight. I was
jumping from machine to machine and right after midnight my points for
the day went down to 8 with 9 bonus. So the nice 2 to 1 bonus ratio
that I had been getting was also reset to 1 to 1.
question: I did the "pull the card" trick when dealt 4 aces in DBP
before hitting the draw. Does this really keep the win from being
tracked in a TITO machine? Seems like the computer knows how much you
put in and the ticket out value and they could reconcile this with the
running winnings.
