JUN 2005

Santa Fe on last Thursday installed in place of the MDMG FPDW between coffee shop and bowling alley entrance, 25c, 50c, 1$ FPDW, FPDB, FPDDB, FP ONE EYED JACKS (ER for the OEJ = 0-1-1-2-3-5-15-50-075-200-0800 ... 100.28%), FPLD and Super Bonus Deuces Wild (1-2-2-3-4-10-15-25-160-200-400-800 ... 100.13%). The local pros got hold of this and hammered the the games playing them around the clock Friday to yesterday. The games have been changed to only the 25c denom so we can consider this a upgrade to the SantaFe inventory.


FEB 2005

The (6) JW 100.6% 25c TITO uprights between coffee shop
and bowling alley entrance are MIA.

DEC 2004

The (12) 5c JW (100.6%) MG TITO (10 Play) uprights have been relocated to the far south end of the new section between the slot club and food court.


OCT 2004

The (10) FPDW 25c MG/MD TITO Optimum slant-tops near Panda Express have been moved to across from the (6) 25c FP Jokers TITO uprights near the bowling alley.


OCT 2004

Santa Fe now has 25c (1/5 Play) Multi-Strikes (8/5 BP and 9/7 DB).


JUL 2004

I don"t know if it"s been reported, but I believe I saw a new bank of "Optimum Play" machines across from the food court at Santa Fe today. It was labeled with a Deuces Wild sign also. I walked past it quickly and didn"t get to check any games.

The FPDW games have been there for a while and are in the database, they just recently put up the "Optium play"sign.


JUN 2004

The (6) 25c 9/6 JOB near the Bowling center exit are MIA. The (6) 25c
10/7 DB slant tops near the main casher have been converted to TITO.


JAN 2004

The (8) 10/7 FPDB coin dropers near the hotel elevator were replaced
by 12 MGMD TITO with 10/7 FPDB on the 25c games only.


JAN 2004

*** As a general rule, it appears that it now takes $2 to earn
1 point @ Stations and the Fiestas on all positive ER games.


DEC 2003

Current policy at Stations seems to be that they won"t give any discretionary food comps to people who play positive machines, but will comp their rooms. A discretionary room comp probably requires around $8,000 Coin-In per day (on average) now.


DEC 2003

LV Stations and Fiestas announce that full pay games will require $2 to earn 1 point beginning in JAN 2004.


NOV 2003
The (6) 5c/10c/25c (10-coin) TITO 10/7 DB
uprights west of Iguana Bar are gone.
