Played several hours at the Palms on a 25 cent 3-play 9/6 JoB. It was my first visit, and I easily and quickly gained enough points for a free buffet, which was as good as most. The machines I played on were in good repair--all the lights worked, no buttons stuck--and was comfortable. There is an abundance of good machines, though I didn't try any of the 100%+ machines, which don't earn as many points and aren't eligible for promotions (though I'm not sure what the implications are). I really enjoyed the Palms and highly recommend it to video poker players. wesroot
