The entire Winners Wharf area was purged of VP (about 52 machines).
Slightly less than half were moved, the remaining were removed with no
plans to place them elsewhere (per manager in the area). All 5 cent
coin droppers are gone so they don't have to mess with nickel fills on
any machines. All 4 of the quarter MG (FPDW, 10/7 DB etc) are gone,
many others are gone. Area has a bunch of slot machines sitting
around to be hooked up.
Here's a rough idea of what is left in VP coin droppers (now placed in
the area between the cashier and the high roller area ... along the
aisle heading to the buffet):
3 quarter FPDW (the ones that used to be all together in the corner
before the previous rearrangement are now all back together)
8/5 Bonus Poker: one $1, one 50 cent, one quarter
10/7 DB: one quarter (a 9/7 dollar and a 9/7 50 cent also survived)
WHA (unknown paytables) ... one or two $1, one 50 cent, about 3
quarter machines.
7/5 Bonus Poker w/royal progressive: six quarter machines
DDB (all 9/6 I think) ... about 4 or 5 quarters, a dollar, and a 50
cent machine.
Played the FPDWs and stood talking to someone playing the 7/5 BP
progressives so I'm sure of those counts ... the other machine counts
are from a quick walk through the area -- may be off by a machine here
and there ...
Where there are multiple machines (the FPDW, the quarter WHA, the
quarter DDB), they are grouped by similar machine type rather than
randomly spread around as they were in Winners Wharf.
The slots now going into the Winners Wharf area came from the area
where the remaining VP machines are now and from various places in the
upstairs casino ... some of the upstairs area now has a lot of very
wide space between machines ... don't know if anything new is going in
or not (if new machines are going in, most of "free" space is in areas
with slots so new VP machines are a very big ???).

the area is roped off and nothing up and running so I couldn't tell

Some of the coin ploppers including three of the FPDW have been set
up,
and are running, along the wall on the same level but at the
