Full pay Ultimate X available for dollars for all games listed (all pay 98.9%+ after UX). However, 9/7 TDB UX at dollars has a lower flush multiplier than 9/6 TDB version at quarters (9X vs. 10X), to keep the return of the game below 100% and causes regular 9/7 TDB w/o UX pays roughly the same as 9/7 TDB w/UX. Best overall paying UX game is 9/6 DDB, 99.73% for 3-play dollars.

MIA - $1 on the 3 plays in high limit with 8/5 SA, NSUD, 9/6 JoB, 8/5 BP and 9/7 DB.

MIA - The $1 APDW single line bank of 8 machines are GONE and have been for quite a while. They were removed when the video poker area was moved to allow for more penny slots.

Note all of these juicy machines in the HL room have some placard though that excludes them from same day slot multipliers.

*** MIA - *** (8) 25c MG 99.9% OEJ, NSUD, 35/8 USA Poker, 9/6 JoB, 8/5 BP, 9/7 DB and 9/6 DDB PROG (RF - slow meter) on east side of 1st Level against the wall to the left of ladies' restroom.

I have not done a complete scope job but I have not seen or heard of anything playable at the 25c level. The 25c 10 coin game with a $25,000 base sequential progressive mentioned at vpfree-Chicago base games under 97% hence no good. The good 25c progressive (180-80 OEJW, NSUD etc.) is gone. There is a bank of eight $1 machines in a "football" shaped array near the back left of the vp area near a single "Poker Pro" table with APDW (15-11) and 9-6 jacks, 9-7 DB, 9-6 DDB, 8-5 bonus. There was a bar area still closed with VP that I could not get in and check. I understand that high-limit still has the games that were previously in high limit. Another bank of $1 progressives with 9-7 DB (and some other games but nothing better) in the right center area of the vp area.

I visited the new Horseshoe in Hammond yesterday. The place is beautiful. The Diamond Lounge remains where it was before - so it is quite a walk to get to. A 7* lounge is located by the HL Slot & HL Table Game rooms. I took a tour of it; it is large and very, very nice. The host told me that there is a special menu that guests can order from. Nice bar with TVs (all sports shown). I only checked out the machines in the HL Room, so can only report on those. They are all brand new and pretty cool to play. (1) $2 MG 3/5/10P (2) $1 MG 50P (6*) $5 MG SL (1) $25 MG SL (1) $50 MG SL (1) $100 MG SL Games available in SL include JB, BDLX, BP, SDB, SA, 9/7DB, 10/6DDB, OEJ, 15/11 NSUD (not sure if that has an acronym yet or not). Games available in 50P are the same except DDB is 9/6. I did not check the pay tables on the lone 3/5/10 play. *I am guessing there were six, did not count them. Two were out of service. The service was excellent and they are keeping Coke products in back for those who specifically request them. Yeah!! Cashback is now freeplay and can be downloaded at the machine. My only disaaapointments were the music (rap) and the mandatory IN state tax - it's a killer.

Grand reopening is 8-8-08, but I don't even think that half the VP is ready. Looks like the 25c PROG are all gone. There are going to be a lot of $1 9/6 JoB machines and I also saw $1 APDW. The APDW was in a bank of four (two next to each other and then two more back to back with those). As you are going to the back (where most of the VP) is, they will be on the right side. I could only check the pay table on the one machine as another one was being played and the other two weren't operational.The $1 9/6 JoB are just before you get the the ones against the back back wall. Those were more to the left as you go into the VP area. I believe in a bank of 8. Found a lot of $1 JOB and BP. Also found some $1 uprights with APDW on them in an oval type of layout, on the way to the Vintage 51 Bar. There is a $1 progressive bank with 9-7 DB among other games. (About in the right center of the VP area.) The high limit room has 2 fifty play machines with AFPDW as well as single line $5 machines with 8/5 Super Aces, AFPDW and other 99+% games.
