There are now only two FPDW which require $6 in to get a point. It is rumored that these two are not long for this world. The 10/7 DB are history. Only four coin ploppers left in the place.

The eight MG/MD 9/6 JOB 99.5% 25/50/1 machines at the bar in the Comedy Club have all been downgraded to 9/5. River Palms has a new high limit area upstairs near the Subway Food Outlet. In this area all JOB, BP, and DDB pay triple on 4 eights. The only *full pay* machines in this area are 4 MG/MD machines that have BP 99.2% in one and two dollar denominations only.

At the River Palms, I only found 4 of the 25c NSUD and they were put "Out of Service" this morning 1/3/09 with techs working on them.

River Palms has 8 MG machines at the bar in its Comedy Club. All 8 machines have 25c/50c/$1 9/6 JoB. All of the other games on these machines are definitely not *full pay*.

I have found that the RP marketing offers operate on a daily average - not a monthly average. So if you are spreading out that $3500 to $4000 a month over multiple days, you are just diluting your "average". I usually will spend a few hours down there and put through $1,000 to $1,500. That seems to keep the free room offers coming to me.

Here's what I found in the last week in Laughlin. At the RP, there are 3 $.05 NSUD MG/MD Spin Poker Deluxe just outside the Poker Room and not just 1. At the nickel level, these games also have 9/7 DB and 9/6 DDB. There are $.25 9/6 DDB uprights along the wall in Winner's Wharf.

A quick update from River Palms in Laughlin. The FPDW and 10/7 DB machines that are marked "temporarily out of service" in the vpFree database are back in action. In addition, there are additional 10/7 DB 25c machines along a wall in the Winners Wharf as well, though I did not count them. Currently they are running a promotion with 3x points on Friday, Sat and Sun. Swipe card each day before playing. In addition, you get one scratch-off promo card for each 250 points per day (limit 3). Most are worth $2.

I was at the River Palms today. They are remodeling upstairs by the Keno, and I could not find the FPDW machines up there. I did find several FPDW machines (I believe eight) downstairs in the Winners Wharf.
