I spent spent Friday night and Saturday morning at Harrah's North
Kansas City. As usual I headed straight for my favorite .25 All-
American machines, the round bank of six slant top Gamemakers in
front of the big screen on the first floor, only to find that they
were turned off. I headed upstairs, only mildly concerned at this
point, and found that the long bank of slant top Gamemakers in the
middle of the second floor were turned off. Next, mildly panicked,
I headed for the round bank of upright Gamemakers [(5)$1 and (1).25]
on the second floor, to the left side from the escalator. These
were disabled too. At this point I was sure that KC had joined St.
Louis as a one location All-American play (President-STL; Isle of
Capri-KC).
However, my last hope proved to be my salvation---there were still
some active $1 and .25 AA machines remaining at the far back and
left corner of the second floor (from the top of the escalator).
Later I noticed a lone $1 Gamemaker with AA remained active along
the right side wall as you enter the main floor past the blues
sculpture/fountain.
Does anyone know what is going on with all the disabled machines? I
am afraid they may be the latest victims of the dual trends toward
TITO and against positive EV video poker.
