If we had a Siena Casino Monitor s/he could easily update the
DataBase with some important changes from Part Timer's post.
We don't, so Siena won't be updated until we do.
Updates usually result from second-hand reports and don't
require a personal visit by the monitor.
Most vpFREE members are probably qualified to handle a
Casino Monitor's duties. Casino Monitor Details are at:

If you value the vpFREE DataBase and aren't a monitor yet,
contact me privately to volunteer. Monitors can be anonymous
if they like.

The Siena has undergone (and still appears to be undergoing) a massive
inventory change. All machines now appear to be TITO (there may still be
some penny slots that are hand pay only on cash-out).
10/7 DB is gone, again. This time probably for good.
Some areas have machines removed, and are obviously expecting new machines
to come in, but not all the new machines are in place yet, so expect further
changes at the Siena.
What I found was:
- High limit area, near the slot club: 8 machines, $1 10 coin progressives,
with 9/6 JoB, 9/7 DB, and 9/6 DDB.
- Bank of machines (mis)labelled "Quarters" - this is where the 10/7 DB used
to be. On one side of the bank (4 machines) are single line MG/MD machines
with 9/6 JoB available at $.25/$.50/$1. The other side of the bank (where
the 10/7 DB used to be) are now multiline MG/MD machines with non full-pay
paytables.
- Between the "Quarters" bank and a $1 progressive bank, there are 3
machines that have $1 9/6 JoB.
- At the $1 progressive bank not in the high limit area (8 machines, two
meters, one for the 4 machines on each side of the bank), the best game on
the progressives was 9/6 DDB.
- Sort of near the Contrada, there's a bank of 10 slant tops that have $.25
progressives on sub-par games, but also has 9/6 JoB at the $1 level.
There may still be some NSUD at the Siena somewhere, but I didn't look for
it as wild card games are not eligible for the quads promotions. The bank
of machines that used to have the $.05 10 coin NSUD progressive is gone, but
it's not clear what's going back in there.
