River Palms Inventory Update

On the lower level, at the south end, are six 25 cent upright Tito Game Kings with the following games:
1) 9/6 Jacks or better with 90 to 1 for a straight flush
2) Double Double Bonus
3) Full Pay Joker Poker with 5 machines showing a 4000 royal with 5 coins bet and one machine with 4700 for the royal
4) USA Poker (full pay All American)
5) Full Pay Deuces Wild
Points accrue at the rate of one point for $300 of play. I do not know the rate for comp but assume that it is something equally pathetic.

Well that is good news, nice to see some FP coming back. I don't know about moaning about the low point accrual, pretty much everyone who offers FPDW and similar good games offers really minimal slot points as far a I know of. The days of getting good comps just from playing FPDW have gone and aren't coming back. I think it's a good move on the part of the casino, gives them bragging rights, shows customers where their heads are at. They don't really make any money from FP but they don't lose it either and it keeps the place from looking like a ghost town, which is terrible for business. Just take a look at Harrahs, panicked about people playing negative games like 9/6 JOB or 8/5 BP and ripping those meagre offerings out. Who would ever want to play slots there if that is their attitude. I suppose if you earned Diamond level at 7/5 BP you could go into the Diamond lounge and help yourself to some cotto salami and potato chips, big whoopdeedo.

Don't forget the 6-8 oz. 'free' bottles of water that one might cramp a vp-playing finger upon opening. You can also choke on the finger snax mixes (Japanese rice crackers, pretzels, and nuts), if you try hard enough. Std. wafer crackers and cheese.

However, they do at least offer SOME hot foods 5-7 pm daily (soup std. and chili on FBall Sundays, with hotdogs).
