I did as detailed a search of the inventory at the Flamingo as I could. The 4 $.25 10/7 DB slant tops are still there. One of them has a really wonky screen and probably won't last long. Database reports one of the $.25 Game Kings (wall/main cage) has NSUD, but I hit the button on all of them and didn't find anything but Ugly Ducks that paid 15 for 5K, so if one machine got past them on the install, they've found and corrected it. There are 3 $5.00 Game Kings in the high-limit area that have NSUD, not 2 as listed. No one was ever in there. There's even a sign that asks you not to loiter and block the entrance, which I found odd. Everything else in the Database is as written, as far as I can tell. It's quite a JoB house, so I kept trotting over to Edgewater and playing the abundant FPDW. The hotel is suffering from the neglect that most mid-level Caesar's properties are experiencing, but the room was fine and we enjoyed ourselves.

Well the poker room is now back in the southeast corner and the high-limit room by the north end/Keno. The Connection card kiosks are up and running by the slot club. Inventory-new games-(11) aqua blue Game Kings (slant-tops) have been added. These quarter games are by the southeast riverwalk doors, and include Jacks 9/6 and Bonus Deluxe 9/6. Update on the .25 DB-actually 4 of these, not 3, in a row of 7 that starts with 3 nickel Joker's Revenge games, next row over has decoy DB. Place still is filled with Jacks. Slot club too busy to find out CB/comps info.

I received a flyer from Flamingo Laughlin yesterday stating they use the Connection Card now. The card earns "comp dollars," somewhat like Station Casinos. That is, you earn them playing slots or VP (not sure what they do for table games), and use them for meals, rooms, show tickets, and "selected merchandise" at any Park Place property in Las Vegas, Atlantic City or Mississippi. You also "get back 3% of your hotel cash purchases." New Orleans, Indiana and Northern NV (Reno?) aren't on the system yet.
