This last trip I wandered down to the Riverside. It still is trashy with all
the shops selling rings, watches, T-shirts, etc.
But now we have a visible comp account upon card insertion. There has been a
mystery comp account in the past. To my surprise I had $22. Not sure if we
can do the debit card thing for food.
Riverside VP was just about the same. You could still play $1 NSUD in
bartops or Illini Deuces in quarters. The old IGT and Sigmas were on the floor. I
did find a $1 play to add to the database. They moved out the Bally
Gamemakers that served as the tourney area, put these guys in non-smoking casino. They
have filled the void with IGT product with single games/multi-denominations.
So there are four $1 Bonus Deluxe 9/6 east of the high limit room, 8/6 in
quarters and halves.
Promos- in July they were doing a weekday-unique-fun one giving away $1k at
11am and 2pm. You earned tickets for having an almost royal, four of them but
not five. I got one ticket into the drum for two drawings. Nope did not
win, but got to draw the winner one time. They also do a 125 coin COD.
August- celebrating the Riverside's 41st birthday. Giving away $41k
($10,250x4) every Wednesday. Two winners at 1p and two at 6p. The only way to earn
tickets is 100 points ($500 coin-in), 50 tickets max, must collect daily...or
a $15 suited BJ in the pit.
No tickets for eating, sleeping or breathing. I hope I get a shot at this
one. COD is Kings for the month.<BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> Get a
