The 10/7 DB earns points at the rate of 1 point per $100 CI. Most of their VP seems to earn at 1 point per $40 CI while slots are more like 1 point per $20 CI.

Atlantis downgraded my FP from $150 per month to $50 per month ... and cut its matchplay coupon from $75/$25 to $50/$25. Earlier this year they reduced the percent theo returned as comps from 25% to 20%.

I checked out the Sky Terrace area of the casino and saw that the Spinpoker machine had been replaced by one Spinpoker Deluxe machine in 1/2/5/10-cent denoms. At the nickel and dime level, the best games are 9/7/4 Triple Double Bonus (99.58%), 9/4/4 Bonus Deuces (99.45%), 9/6 Bonus Poker Deluxe and 9/6 JOB. Also 9/6 DDB. The plain Deuces Wild game is 15/9 (98.9) and the other games are short pay versions. Next to the Spinpoker Deluxe machine is a 50-play but the only decent games are at the .25 denom -- I saw 9/6 Jacks for sure, and I think TDB.

Found 3 NSUD in $ ,far right side of the side of stage, next to atrium bar, just down the steps. 4 going for the fours machines in 8/6 job 7/5 bp between slot club & wave machine. All single play multi stike games have nothing playable at all at any denm. the 2 5 play multistrike between atrium towers ( which is no way near the atrium bar!! those are the dolphin towers) & the gift shop are .05 .10 .25 with nothin playable. BUT, the three 5 play multi strikes across from the atrium tower elevators & the Java Coast have ,at .02 .05 10c , FP JOB, BPDX, SDB, TDB, BP, DWBP,WHA, PLUS 9/6 DDB & NSUD. Guess where I played. These 3 machines were mixed in a bank of 6 with Bonus Hand triple play with 9/6 JOB 99.68%, 3 of a kind reduced to 2 to 1, & 8/5 BP 99.275%. ALso in this area was two 3 way action poker machines, did not check out schedules thou. I found no NSUD on any Spin Poker, only 9/6 JOB, No JOB or any other games that return 2 to 1 for 2 pair on any Spin Poker Deluxe machine on the floor. In fact i could find nothing any where near full pay on those machines, would not be the 1st time same machine had different paytables in different locations. All 50ply,100ply still have FP JOB & SDB

Atlantis and Peppermill slot clubs are both "don't ask don't tell" so, you never know but, roughly, atlantis comps about 1% and peppermill comps about 0.5%. atlantis banks comp about a year, peppermill likes to arbitrarily erase them, especially if you win or play 99%+ machines (the machines with the strictly slots magazine "certified loose" stickers). On banked comp at peppermill, they always use your last earned comp, meaning you probably will never get to used first earned comp before it is expired on you.

Could not locate the MStrikes that are supposedly in the Sky Terrace. The $ AA were definitely NOT on menu of the (2) $ Gamemakers near the bar/coffeeshop. This might be the most cramped casino I've been in. They literally have machines backed all the way to the table games. I've never seen so many crowded aisles.

*** MIA - *** 5 and 10 cent PKM and AA.

While checking out the $1 GameMakers in the Atlantis, I wanted to check the paytables on a "Deuces Wild" game, expecting some hideous ripoff paytable, and discovered that it was full pay triple deuces (99.92%). This game doesn't appear in the database. I believe it was in the machines next to the $1 "radical royals" DB progressive bank.

Confirmed the $1 AA is back in the two machines to the left of the bar. Confirmed the 10/7/80 to the right of the stage. Confirmed the 6 10/7 DB and 6 10/6 DDB machines in the Sky terrace. Got killed on these machines - 16 hours of play ~14,000 hands with just 3 quads -- lost $2,300 on these - location details unknown. Confirmed the four 5 play Multistrike machines. They have SDB, NSUD, and JOB. $1 JOB 9/6 progressive against the wall in high-limit across from the slot club was over $6300 for the royal after I left. - nobody was playing it at all. Confirmed the super times (4) pay JOB paytables only near the poker room. Found 25c (only full pay for 25c) Full pay SDB Spinpokers between the poker room and rock tunnel. Found 10c 10-coin ($1 a hand) pickem in the AA machines near the purple parrot. Food - If you are a seafood lover you must try the 24 piece seafood platter at the Oyster bar. For 25.99 you get 6 lobster claws, 6 oysters, 6 huge shrimp, and 6 large snow crab clusters its is meant for two but I ate it myself for my whole meal - delicious. Other delectables worth trying is the fish and chips, cioppino, pan roasts, and jambalaya - all made with fresh huge amounts of seafood. Inside track - For the occasional visitor the nickel multi-line SDB is the best comp play. You accumulate comps rapidly and if you play on the COD (Sun-Thurs) the play is 100.05%. You must play nickel because the COD is 100-coin bonus for the nickel level only. For 25C it is only a 40 coin bonus and none for 1c or 2c. You can play nickel 5,10,20,50,100 or any amount of hands on the 50-100 play machines. When I return i will go Sun-thurs and play the mickel fifty play SDB to cover comp requirements and mosey on over to the Pepp or Silver legacy for FPDW.

As for outing plays, the Atlantis Reno has a play that comes and goes a lot, $1 AA on a couple of machines. It seems to reappear every few months, and then within a week or two of it being mentioned on VP lists, it vanishes again. It's a play in particular that I'd put in the class of "look for it if you're in the casino, and have fun on it if it's there, but don't talk about it if it's there". By now, people should know that it comes and goes from the Atlantis, and so there's nothing to be gained by outing it again when it resurfaces, except causing it to disappear again. The funny thing about this play, is it isn't the best play at the $ level in the Atlantis (by some measures), but it's one that seems to attract a lot of attention on the boards. I didn't make it clear here, but the $1 AA is again gone at Atlantis due to the recent outing, and should be MIA in the database. You wanted confirmation of the $1 10/7/80 DB to the right of the stage, I can confirm that one of the two uprights is 10/7/80 (at least at full coin in), but have not confirmed the other machine (the machines will not let you display the full pay table without putting money in, you only get to see the pay table for the last number of coins someone else played on that game), but it looks like the other machine may not be 10/7/80. It's happened before with 10/7/80 DB and AA that sometimes a game was removed or downgraded from one of two adjacent machines, and left intact on the other.
