JUL 2007

Today at Sam"s I took a complete inventory of loose deuces and here is what I found. All are in slant top boxes. 15/8  3- Across from Sportsbook elevator and Willie & Jose"s restaurant  1- In separate room across from Harvest cafe. 12/8 1- End machine at bottom of escalator across main aisle from Sportsbook  2- End machines next to main room elevators across main aisle from valet parking entrance.  I changed the location descriptions as I thought that the ones in the database were somewhat vague and obscure.


MAY 2007

The multigame machines with the 8/5 BP progressive near Roxy in Sam"s Town have been
downgraded to 7/5. These are the machines with a progressive for each suit.


MAY 2007

(2) of the Sam"s Town Deuces are still there at right end of the long bank.
[if the 50"s diner
was still there you could stand up from the machines and see inside.]


*** MIA - APR 2007 ***

(3) 25c Sam"s Town Deuces uprights a few rows away from Sheplers.


JUL 2005

The $ SAB game is missing from it"s location by Billy Joe"s Bar and I haven"t been able to find it anywhere else. The 2 .25 8/5 SAB are near the entrance to the Harvest Cafe -- SF pays 300. 8/5 SAB with 250 for the SF can be found in the multistrikes at .25 and some machines at .10.


MAR 2005

Some positive games now require $2 coin-in to earn a point, and it"s been reported that some people who only play $1  10/7 DB on 6X point days no longer get any mailings. Other players of good machines have had their mailings reduced for the same level of play.


MAR 2005

I logged many hours playing OEJ"s at Sam"s Town. The correct pay table is: RF=8000; WRF=500; 5oK=500; SF=250; 4oK=50; FH=25; Flush=20; Straight=10; Trips=5; 2Pairs=5; 1Pair, Aces=5 101.4%, w/o comps,BB or CB. There may be other OEJ"s at ST, but the pay ER is not as high. (Very volatile and definitely need a strategy card.)


FEB 2005

Our host at Sam"s Town is Johnny Difulvio (ask for Johnny D.)
We aren"t high rollers, but we think he does a good job for us.


JAN 2005

There is a new 3/5 play $1  8/5 BP near the main cashier.


OCT 2004

The .25 JoB 5-play MS at Sam"s Town has been shorted to 9/5.


OCT 2004

According to Andre Filosi, the Director of Slots, Sam"s Town uses theoretical loss to determine free play, etc.. He indicated that the theo ranged from 1% to 3% and that $1500-$2000 would get you top tier. Preferred parking requires at least 3 months at the top tier (6X$40). Other known tiers include 6x$20, 6x$10, 4x$10, 3x$5, and 2x$5.


OCT 2004

I got 6x$20 which was a result of $94,000 coin in (no full pay machines) over a 3 month period. This is the 2nd tier, next to the highest which is 6x $40. Do not know if I was at the top or bottom end of that tier, but $94,000 will get you $120. I would guess that $40,000 per month would probably get you $240, but I may be low. I know someone who plays 2500 points per day (single points) on FPDW and he gets 6x$10 which is third level.


MAR 2004

Weekend of March 4-6; a bank of at least 4, maybe 8 (don"t remember) quarter PROGRESSIVE 9-6 JOB - location details unknown.
Near Poker room, coffee / pastry counter and exit to the parking garage that is closest to Boulder Hiway.

Jeffrey Compton Review


NOV 2003

Sams town is great for out of town room offers. I consider the offers I recieve to be weak for the play I give them. Every month the basic offer is the same of 3 free nights, gold card and $100 cash. I average between 80,000 and 100,000 coin in on my trips. I get much better offers from the stardust as far as trip cash goes but the machine selection and food leave a lot to be desired there. My parents also stay at sams town and they recieve 3 free nights, usually a silver card and between 25 and 50 dollars cash. They average around 25,000 coin in for the trip between them. I love sams town. The rooms are great (if you can get a suite try one) and the food is very good.


JUL 2003

The rooms are lousy. The walls are thin. The place reeks of smoke. It"s a glorified Motel 6. But the restaurants are a bit above average. Fellini"s, where I ate last evening, is one of the best upscale Italian bistros in town. Billy Bob"s (temporarily located near Roxy"s due to renovation) is one of the better steakhouses in town. I think the buffet is at or near the top in quality and selection, and the cheap price puts it over the top.


July 2002

Others may not care for it but we believe Sam"s Town is a good choice. FPDW in 10c and 25c plus 10/7 DB, Sam"s special Bonus Deuces, numerous 25c progressives (sometimes positive), Super Aces. A decent buffet, movie theatre, small pool, nice bowling alley, live music (Country), monthly room offers with some type of special bonus - Cashback is poor but for a tourist the room offers are worth more. It only seems to take about $3000 coin in per day to keep the offers coming.
