Got a good laugh out of your triple-play NSUD mixup 
A couple of yrs ago, a lady was playing that machine & the $10 (dime?)
triple-play right next to it. She also had the lone 50-play multi-denomination
machine locked up so that no one could have it. When she retired for the night she
had all 3 machines locked up until she returned. During that whole weekend, no
one else was allowed on those machines. The 50-play never got any play since
it was just a "buffer" machine. I put in a mild complaint & the casino
manager, Jim Roets, called me back & asked for a suggestion. I suggested a 2nd
50-play so that his high-roller could keep her buffer zone & that's how the 2nd
50-play was put in.

Just back from Reno Hilton. Played mostly at the 50-play quarter JOB
machine in the high limit room. Never had a problem getting a seat at
one of the two machines. Usually played 4 hands, at which pace it's
easy to get about $3K/hour in coin in.
I think JOB must be near even with the .25% cashback plus Card-Of-Day
(they pay $20 cash for quarter players when you hit a specific quad),
huh? I know that some places don't pay their COD bonus on multi-
plays, but there was one hand in which I held trip tens (the COD) &
drew quads twice, & they paid me $40.
The biggest shock of the trip: wandering around the high limit room,
I find a 3-play quarter NSUD machine. This is a game I like, and the
stakes ($3.75/play) will be just my speed. But when I try to feed it
twenties, it keeps spitting the bills back at me. Finally, I stick in
a hundred, the machine ponders for a moment, & then shows a grand
total of FOUR credits. Oops. I again check the "$25" on the front of
the machine, & there ain't no decimal point in it.>>
