I just spoke with Helen at Casino Montelago. She is their only host. She actually works in a dual role of cage manager and host. Figured you could use the info to update the database.

Bartop fullpay remains, including 9/6 JB w/ seq RF, FPJW, and 10/7 DB. FPDW is now restricted to 2 banks. One is by the base of the escalator, next to the cage. The other bank is near the restrooms. FP PE in the Gamemakers remain the ONLY machines in the casino that aren't TITO. July promo: earn 500 points, get a free BBQ set.

Played $107,100 coin-in during the 3-month qualifying period and received $200 (4 x $50) for June.

I was out at MonteLago Tue. night. The ten machines in the back by the bar (beyond the pit area) no longer have FPDW. They're all ten NSUD. They also shorted the DDB and Jacks or Better. The only full pay on them is 10/7 DB. The FPDW remain near the restrooms. I didn't check any of the other machines so I don't know if any other changes have been made. Also, freeplay now goes on your account and can be accessed using your pin. You must play it through once before you can cash it out. This was done on Monday night and only on two banks, the one that you mentioned and also the one across from the wheel of fortune machines next to the Club Uno slot club. Since I am only interested in deuces and joker, these are the only two games that I checked. They left the 4000 jokers alone at full pay, but they did short the deuces on both of these banks. Approx. 20 FPDW machines up to quarters and plenty of 4000 jokers remain.

$1 and $5 NSUD have been downgraded.

This is a beautiful, upscale casino. Attached to and shares a parking garage with the Ritz-Carlton. Has a small, nice coffee shop, and Ritz-Carlton restaurants are nearby.

On Mon - Thu in Oct they have 2X cashback, making it nominally .5%. However, you can only take it in increments of $20 (4000 points). There are no discretionary comps. You must use points. There is no buffet but a good coffee shop and the sports bar has some very good, cheap pizza, philly and other sandwhiches and wraps. There are currently coupons for a $5.95 steak dinner. Call the Player's club but they should be easy to get (I got them both via email and in a special mailer). The slot techs will speed the machines to the max if asked. All machines are uprights. Regardless of the signage, all VP machines are Game Kings. Floor personnel are very nice but morale is not good. Management makes many, many mistakes which keeps the place relatively empty.
