Pioneer Kills Its 100% machines

Pioneer celebrated St. Pats Day by shorting all of the last 6 100% machines. Both sides of the bank (the recent 100% machines and the other machines that were shorted from 100% several months ago) now all have the same 10 or so games ... the "attraction" that Pioneer's signs is pushing is that they are multi-denomination (.25 .50 $1 $2)! Wow, you can now play 8/5 Jacks, 8/5 DDB, DW with 4 for 4X, Jokers with 17 for 4X, etc.. I think (didn't note for sure) that Bonus Poker was full pay 8/5 -- still not a 100% game. Some of the paytables varied by denomination -- Jokers, for instance, at $2 had 4700 royal but the 85 for 4X [98% game] but at .25 the Jokers paytable was the weird 500 for royal, 4000 for 5x, short pays for lower combinations. (I'll have to copy the entire paytable and calculate the payback).

So, the best games in Pioneer are a few 9/6 J/B in .25 and $1 denominations and some 8/5 bonus poker.

More info in a couple days when I have time to check the wide variety of paytables they came up with! (All 100% game signage has been removed).

Maybe the Pioneer should change their name to "Harrahs" now . . .
