I indicated last Thursday that Harrah's E. Chicago was remodeling the third floor table game room. Unfortunately they also remodeled some paytables.
All the single line quarter games on the back wall have had the same "Game King" graphics and paytables put into them as the "new" games in that area. All under 97%! Also #3362 which used to be a Triple Play 25c game with NSUD and 9-6 jacks is now also a single line 25c "sucker" job but still shows the triple play box art.
#3339 (25c Triple Play NSUD) downstairs still exists as I won about $170 from it before being overcome by smoke!! The $5 version still exists as a good friend of mine got hammered by it this morning. They also finally opened up the progressives on the 25c Fast Action but they look too slow to make up for the poor games (Best game in the group is 6-5 jacks which is 97.6% at reset.)
They have opened one of the two $1 White Hot Ace games as triple and five play only but with a 7-5-80 pay table (25c downstairs is the full 9-5-80) I will take a pass.
