I recently took in the '1.8M' expanded area - to see what all the
hype was about. Actually, they did a pretty good job (savvy new
casino area sort of reminds me of the Palms/HR parts of it, but
placed in a room with Large Glass windows overlooking the surrounding
hills and plains).
Machine-wise, not much inventory added.
I think that whatever was in the 'old' VIP room is now in the newer
one, which is much more open. In fact, anyone can walk just past the
curving 'V-bar and lounge area' (no machines at the bar, but good
eats, not so cheap, and hi def plasma TVs).
There are about 6-8 Multi Demon GameKings ($2-5-10-25) with fullpay
NSUD, JB, BP, BPDeluxe, DDB, and even Bonus DW (99.4).
If you can stand the volatility - there is also Triple Bonus Plus
(99.8) the 100-1 for SF and 1200 Aces/600 2s-4s 9/5 game.
(Like White Hot Aces).
DB is std. 9/7. Also requires $10/pt, so .1%, although I've read
somewhere that 'higher' tier players can earn as much as .2-.4%.
Of course, that's miniscule and relative to one's coin-in.
If you can afford to run 600K or more through such games, then these
are the machines you should probably play.
There are some $1-2-5 3/5 play slanttops, as well.
And 2 scattered upright (.50c only) 100 plays.
2 pr joker game 10-6-5, Super Aces, Super Dbl Bonus were unique on
this platform, in addition to NSUD/JB/Bonus Deluxe as higher paying
games.
Nothing more of note. Just a nicer environment to play in.
PS - The one Multi-strike game that USED to be in the SLOT CITY area
seems to have disappeared, along with the WALLS that now open up into
the new swanky west-side casino. The LONE machine that is still
listed in VpFree database is still ok (East side area).
