Sun report: comp rate for ,25 PE's now $1/$90

#1

The comp rate for players club points has now been improved from
1/160 to 1/90 for the full-pay PE quarter machines. This appears to
be true for all machines (slot&VP) as I also tried the penny slot
machines. FYI, at 5:30am on Saturday all penny machines in the Hall
of the Lost Tribes were taken. However, only one person was playing
for a penny -- that was myself because I'm not a slot player.
Everyone else was playing from .20 to 3.00 per spin. with an avg.
of .50/spin and 89% return. That's why they converted so many
machines to accept "pennys."

All multi-play JOB has been downgraded to 8/5. The converted Cabaret
bar $1 JOB is 8/5 and they converted the racebook bar (Brewpub) to
8/5, but left the ones on the other side of the wall at the Bow and
Arrow 9/6 as well as every other bartop in the casino -- still a high
number. This is probably a form of test-marketing as they'll see if
people really notice the difference and play the Bow and Arrow over
the Brewpub. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others the better
paying $1 JOB because there's more than enough of them available.

While you say there is more than enough available, it seems pretty hard to me to get a seat at one.

Maybe I don't got at the absoulute worst times, but you have
Star Bar
Bow and Arrow
Hall of Lost Tribes Bar
Wolf Den bar
That's about 50 machines between them.

Was there yesterday, and can confirm that the comp rate on the .25
PE's is indeed 1/90. However, I also checked the single full-pay
Super Aces machine, and it remains at the old rate of 1/160. Too
bad, as the SA machine would be a good play at the 1/90 rate (same as
PE at 99.94, though with a much higher variance -- somewhat mitigated
by the fact that it's multi-hand).

I'm surprised that they would have machines of the same denomination
at different comp rates. You might want to check other machines in
that row since they seem to take down the machines rows at a time.
I'd stay tuned because they can't reprogram ~4000 machines overnight.

Or they realize their "mistake" and convert the quarter machines
back to 1/$160.
