The only 8/5 bonus I could find played a flat rate for all quads.

MIA: (6) 10¢, 25¢ : 99.17% BP Near the north entrance

There are several upright and slant top machines scattered around the casino in the 5¢ and 10¢ denomination with games labeled "Bonus Poker" that are actually 98.45% JOB (1-2-3-4-5-8-30-50-800). These seem to be the best choice left for nickel and dime players.

New: (6) 10c, 25c : 99.17% BP Near the north entrance

Player's Club Update

A close friend of mine said there was a Deuces Wild game in the River Palms that pays: 1,2,3,4,4,9,15,25,200,800 which yields an EV of 98.91%

New Location/Notes; New number; New Machine Type - (2) $1, $2 : 99.17% BP (pays triple for Quad 8's) in high limit area upstairs near the River Bar area

That upstairs bar area still had the Bonus 8/5 Spin Pokers as of Saturday. The COD September promo is kiosk driven one for 100 coins. You get a random rank. RP will not honor it on progressives, like in the bartops. I didn't find anything better than 98.5% in my random search to add. There is plenty of Bogus Bonus 8/5-30 and Joker 17/7-4700.

I just left Laughlin and can verify that both Trop and River Palms have pulled their 100% machines.

On the lower level, at the south end, are six 25 cent upright Tito Game Kings with the following games: 1) 9/6 Jacks or better with 90 to 1 for a straight flush 2) Double Double Bonus 3) Full Pay Joker Poker with 5 machines showing a 4000 royal with 5 coins bet and one machine with 4700 for the royal 4) USA Poker (full pay All American) 5) Full Pay Deuces Wild Points accrue at the rate of one point for $300 of play. I do not know the rate for comp but assume that it is something equally pathetic.

At River Palms 7/22-24. MIA 9/6 Bdlx, MIA DW44, MIA all 9/5 WHA, MIA 50c JoB/BP/DDB; MIA 5c DW44/DB/DDB, MIA $1 BP/DDB. Also MIA was the Subway Restaurant! Only FP left are the (4) $1,$2 BP in High Limit area where Subway used to be; (4) AllStar 25c 3/5/10 Play and 1-9 Spin 8/5BP, 9/7DB, 9/6DDB in High Limit; and (6) 25c 8/5BP, 9/7DB, 9/6DDB upstairs in s/e most island. There are 25c and $1 8/5 WHA available in various locations upstairs.

I was at the River Palms last night (7/13)and ALL of the old coin drop machines were being removed...this includes the last two (.25)FPDW. Per the staff they are to be replaced with TITO machines...unknown paytables, my guess is they will be short pay machines and/or slots only. we'll see.

No longer get a food discount for "Young-at-Heart" players
