Confirmed that the only machines above 99% in Riviera Blackhawk are: the five nickel triple play NSUD's under the nickel sign and a bank of four .25/.50/$1 BP's near cashier by parking garage. Every JoB I could find was at most 9/5 or 8/6.

*** MIA - *** 9/6 JoB now MIA.

… The deuces pay table on the nickel and quarter triple plays which were NSU are now a very poor 97% pay table. Also, the "Leather" jackets they gave away recently, turns out they're fake-no leather whatsoever. I would recommend you take your business elsewhere, honest treatment of customers seems to be a problem there.

*** MIA - *** NSUD now MIA.

… the Riviera is reducing its video poker cashback to .25% as of September 1 ($2 coin-in = 1 point, 1000 points = $5). The Riv is offering 3x points on video poker Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday throughout September, presumably as some sort of way to ease the transition. …I was at the Riviera on Friday August 11. I noticed that one of the 3/5/10 play multigame/multidenomination machines has a 10-play .05 8/5 Super Aces Bonus game. This was in a bank of several of these machines closer to the front of the casino on the left side as you face towards the parking garage side. I wasn't able to check all of them as the others were busy; the one I checked was the rightmost one.

I think they base mailers on monthly averages. A monthly average of $4k cash in will get you 4 weekly coupons of $20 each. Meal comps are easy, 900 points will earn you a dinner buffet comp and the points are not deducted from your account. Less points are required for lunch and breakfast.

Looks like only two of the MG MD triple play machines with 25c JOB remain in the non-smoking area upstairs. There is still one 5c triple play NSUD up there. Also have two multistrike machines downstairs, near the "nickles" sign. Busy when I was there, so didn't get a look at the pay tables.

The six 5c 3-play machines have been relocated. Five of them are in a bank along the center of the west wall, near the bar (under the "Nickels" sign); the sixth is tucked away in a corner of the upstairs non-smoking area. Most of the better 25c 3-play machines have been moved downstairs, between the nickel games and the bar. The upstairs area is now mostly slots.

I was playing at the Riviera on March 1, 2005, when workmen removed two of the six 5c 3-Play machines on the west wall (the best game is NSUD). They said they were making room for a new entrance (a bridge to the Isle of Capri across the street) and that the machines would be relocated, most likely to the upstairs non-smoking area. The Riv has reduced their double point days for Seniors to Wednesday only but the amount of points you can double is unlimited. They previusly offered double points up to 5000 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for Seniors.

Riveria: New non-smoking area upstairs near buffet has seven upright MG/MD triple play with JOB 9/6 for quarters, 8/6 for dimes and 9/5 for nickles. Deuces wild NSUD for quarters, 1-2-3-4-4-9-15-25-200-800 for dimes and 1-2-3-4-4-10-12-20-200-800 for nickles (my wife usually only plays nickles) Eight more of the same uprights downstairs on east wall north of escalators. A couple more scattered around. Five(?) nickle MG triple play north of north cage, west wall. NSUD, 8/6 JOB. They are still paying double for max bet sequential or reversed royal. 500 points gets a lunch buffet, and the buffet is pretty good (Mountain High's is better, though.) Has no effect on cash back. Your info on cash back is correct. Haven't had any bounce back cash yet, but have played over $1000 coin in here in the last month, so maybe something will come someday. Cocktail service is good here. Maybe my favorite casino here, but I'll check out The Lodge next time.

The Riviera in Black Hawk, CO has opened a new non-moking section upstairs outside of the buffet. They have put in approx. 8 upright TITO machines which are all MG/MD Triple Plays and include NSUD at the 25 cent level only. I didn't check out the schedules on the JoB based games on these as I only play deuces and wouldn't know exactly what to look for on those games.

I was in Black Hawk today and wanted to let you know that the new bank of machines in the non-smoking area is SEVEN machines (not eight) and I also found another NINE machines with NSU Dueces downstairs in the main casino along the same wall as the escalator that goes up to the non-smoking area. They are about midway between the escalator and the restrooms and the wall is not straight.

New Senior (Over 50) Program. Monday Tuesday and Wednesday Seniors can earn Double Points up to 5000 each day. You must pick up the cupon at the slot club before you play each day.

The Riviera has replaced 21 of the .25 triple play machines that had 9/6JOB with MG/MD single line machines with nothing playable on them. This leaves them with about 30 of the .25 Triple Plays. If you would like to comment about this change to the Riviera, send to: Neil Narter General Manager Riviera Casino Black Hawk PO Box 9 Black Hawk, Co. 80422.

The 5 cent triple plays at The Riv. are on the west wall, just north of the north cage. There are 6 upright, multi-game - location details unknown.
