I just returned from a weekend at the Peppermill. My favorite
game/machines are the 10/7 DB progressives near the poker room. Friday
night I could not get a seat. Saturday morning the same thing, although
the casino was not that busy. In fact, I could not get a seat all day
Saturday, as the same people were camped out working the high
progressives. It got so bad, that I saw two guys with a pizza box
(Dominos?) eating at the machines. By midnight the aces were at $620.
Sunday morning went to check out the situation, and they were all free
for play. A quick check showed why. Sometime between midnight and 10 AM
the aces progressive were gone, the SF progressive was gone, but the RF
progressive was still there ($1,002.). However, the games were all
downgraded from 10/7 to 9/6....ouch!
My last trip to the Pepp was in May. I noticed since that trip (only 3
months ago), that my favorites are gone... The FPDW are all gone, the
extreme progressives outside the fish bar have all been downgraded, and
now my 10/7 DB prog. are gone. That is a lot of slashing in 3 months.
I guess I should not complain however, as my wife hit a $2,120
progressive at the cabaret lounge.
