Hi Mr/Ms Administrator:
Here are my observations on the inventories in Laughlin over
Thanksgiving weekend:
There�s good news for Harrah�s Laughlin players. There used to
be only 4 nickel and dime 50-plays with 9/6 JoB available. Now
there are five machines in a row in the non-smoking casino and I
counted four over in smoking.
Edgewater. There�s good news there, too. The bank of $.25,
$.50, and $1.00 NSUD and Bonus Deluxe slant tops near the
registration desk are not MIA�they�ve just been repositioned in
the same area. There are five or six machines in a row between
the cage and the registration desk. I could not, however, find
the full pay $.05 Deuces machines between McDonalds and the
Kokopelli lounge. It doesn�t mean they�re not there, I just
didn�t find them. The old upright $.25 coin droppers with the
full pay games are still there in that area.
Aquarius. There�s okay news for vp players here. I found a back
to back row of $.25-only slant tops (10 or 12 total) with 9/6
JoB, 9/6 DDB, 9/7 DB, 8/5 BP, 9/6 BPD, and the requisite ugly
ducks near the Arizona Tower restrooms and the poker room (the
north side). It�s harder to find plays at the $.50 level. I
couldn�t get to many machines to read pay tables (heavy crowd
during the grand opening), but I only found five $.25, $.50, and
$1.00 slants with 8/5 BP between the showroom and the hallway to
the buffet. All the other games on those machines were short
pay. There are full pay $1-only slant top machines in the little
alcove right by the main door to the riverwalk on the Edgewater
side with the same games as the quarter slants. Summary: nothing
over 100%, and you either play quarters or dollars for multi-game
full-pay (or nearly full-pay in the case of the DBs). Slots $1=1
point, VP $2=1 point.
