There are no signs on this bank of machines to
indicate this, but
points accrue at a lower rate than normal. Three
hands of $5 JoB
(i.e. $75 coin-in) yields only 9 points
($8.33/point) instead of the
normal 25 ($3/point). The lower rate applies to ALL
games/denoms on
these machines, not just the $5 games tied to the
progressive.

AFAIK this reduction in points is a new twist for MGM
Grand LV. We'll make sure it is so noted in the
database.

Here's more info on these that I sent privately to the
casino monitor last week:

There are six slant-top progressives in the area of
the MGM Grand high-limit room nearest the Grand Wok
Restaurant. The games with the best ER are as
follows:

$5 9/6 JoB (in database as 8/5 JoB)
$5 9/7 DB (in database as 9/6 DB)
$5 9/6 DDB (in database as 9/5 DDB)

So the paytables were upgraded but the points earned
were lowered. The original poster said there were
eight but I didn't see the other two.
