Well, when Suncoast starts offering 3x points, and Rampart puts out a
more realistic promotions policy (like the one they use to have 6
months ago), you'll know Red Rock will have made its impact.

Stations is not exactly known for giving away the store, so I wouldn't
be too optimistic in the way of VP offerings. I don't believe they
will beat either Rampart or Suncoast in way of VP offerings, but you
never know. Rampart and Suncoast are closest to my home here, I'd just
as soon play at SFS or Cannery.

If you go to "Red Rock Stations" web site, they do say they will

be offering "full pay video poker" there.

Last time I looked, Stations offered full pay(dw,db,ddb)VP and the
other casinos you mentioned didnt.

"Paulos said he and partner Bill Wortman are finalizing their plans to
convert the Nevada Palace on Boulder Highway to a Cannery brand."

though this has been previous reported/speculated about on the board
that is the first time i have actually seen it in print....

well, let's compare and contrast...

Rampart: JW2, TB+, NSUD, nickel and dime 10-play SAB, a couple of
decent progressives at dollars and quarters, BDlx 5-play MS at
quarters. This part is likely the best of the three. Same day .25 cb,
$25 a week, but no more 2x points days 2x a week anymore-recently
averaging one day a month. Earn and redeem has lost it's luster-lots
of rules and the cards require 50% more play than 6 months ago. Some
minor stuff geared to low rollers.

Suncoast: lots of full pay at quarters, JW2 for dollars, NSUD to $5,
.3cb (coin out-smart move), with one or two 2x points days per month.

The typical Stations inventory at quarters is ok, but less comps,
bounceback only (at a rate of .5 to 1%, depending on play-the sweet
spot appears to be about $30K c/i a month, but others would know
better than I), and at dollars and up, simply isn't competitive
(although, as we know well, there aren't that many smart shoppers out
there...)Stations is really good at the Harrahs trick (no surprise
Harrahs wanted to buy them out-they think a lot alike in many
different ways-don't be surprised if it happens eventually)-make very
little or absolutely nothing sound like it's the greatest thing in
modern civilization, and use tons of exclamation points to back it up.
  (I can see it now..."Ethel, this must be a really good deal-it has
three exclamation points next to it! They must mean business!!!").
