Inventory at River Palms remains stable....no changes, but some machines
moved around. The Winner's Wharf was shifted to the east, next to the
Sports
Book. It's cramped, and hot. They only have a couple a/c vents to serve
the
entire area. I think they cranked up the air throughout the whole casino to
respond to complaints from people playing in the Wharf....everywhere else it
was
cold.They put in lots of new penny machines in the area where the wharf was
located. There are three Multi-Strikes. I don't know the multi-strike
strategy so
I didn't check paytables. There are also three Spin Pokers in either 1
cent,
2 cent or 5 cent denominations. The 5 cent deuces is NSU and the bonus
poker
at 5 cent is 8/5.Tom and I played a couple hours at one of the 7/5 bonus progressive banks
yesterday afternoon. The royal was over $1800 and the Ace's were over $180.
We
didn't hit either, but lost very little trying.When we got home today, our River Palms July offer was in the mail. Same as
the last couple months.....lousy! I have two coupons for $30 and 2 free
nights; Tom has two coupons for $20 and 2 free nights. Just a few months
ago we
were collecting over $400 in bounceback from RP. Now the bounceback doesn't
pay
for our gas to get up there. We have continued to give them the same amount
of action, but that will probably change next month.Joan & Tom in Phoenix

The Multi-strikes are actually the new five-play ones, still unplayable as
Joan notes. The Spin Pokers are actually Deluxe. Joan has the paytables
correct...good scouting! They are just outside the poker room. There are some of
those Three-Way Poker (Williams?) right there too. Someone with knowledge
should give us a report.
So did you hit in the $2,100 Young at Heart slot tourney? How about the
special $5k one on Saturday?
Everything still the same in the new N/S area?
So what one of the five banks of the Bonus 7/5 plays was it? How many of
these progressive royals did you collect last year?
Your mail is better than my mail. I too had the same crummy July mailer as
June. Mine is 2x$5 and 2 for 1 rooms. The RP matteresses really suck anyway.
Give me GN or Harrahs, followed by any other joint on the river. RP will
learn a lesson, I think, when they start losing maids.
BS
P.S. Once again, we missed your insight on these boards.
