$1 9/6 JoB Progressive downgraded to 8/5. Nothing playable at reset on this progressive bank. Many machines that had $1/$2 10/6/40 DDB and 9/6 JoB have been downgraded to 9/6 DDB and 9/5 JoB, but other machines remain intact. There are still numerous full pay options if you hunt around. Often a reduced pay table will be right next to a full pay table machine.

Argosy Lawrenceburg is now the Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg, owned by Penn National Gaming

Argosy has reduced the cash back rate for VP. It now requires $2 coin in for one point. This makes the cash back rate 0.125% or half of what it was before.

There have been no changes in pay tables over the past 3 months and haven't noticed any additional machines added or subtracted. I anticipate the big change to occur in 2009 when they move to new boat currently under construction. One change that I have noticed in the past couple of months is a change in marketing direction. They have reduced mail coupon values throughout customer base. I use to get $ 50 per week in coupons and now get $ 20 per week in coupons with same or more amount of play. They have increased the number of weekly drawings and drawing amounts. They have also introduced 5 star program and only players attaining that level are getting extra benefits such as short cashier lines and host office. They also have a 4 star and gold level. It looks like the 4 star and gold card holders have to use kiosk in casino to get comps or go through card center. It appears that there haven't been any changes in their cash back program.

There are only (2) $5/$10/$25 MG machines in the high-limit area. Data base incorrectly shows (9) for NSUD, 9/6 JoB, 8/5 BP and 9/7 DB. There is no NSUD available in $5/$10/$25 (3/5/10 Play) MG. These machines have the 15/9 (98.9%) pay scale of NSUD. There is no 9/6 DDB with a $1 MG PROG RF. The only PROG RF bank at the $1 level has (8) machines. It does have 9/6 JoB, but it should be quantity of (8) not (10) as shown in the data base. Furthermore the DDB on this bank is only 9/5 NOT 9/6.

*** MIA - *** (2) $5/$10/$25 (3/5/10 Play) NSUD MG in high-limit area. (3) $1 MG 9/6 DDB PROG (RF) on the top level (3rd level).
