Last Wednesday night (Sepr. 16) all the full pay Deuces Wild and Double Bonus Poker - location details unknown. were pulled out of the old north side bar - sent to the basement for spare parts.

*** MIA - *** (2) 25c PROG FPDW south of the bar in the old north casino. (2) 25c PROG 10/7 DB south of the bar in the old north casino.

I stopped in at the Riverside coming into town. You can't beat that new parking by Casino West! Inventory- Casino West- all $1 NSUD is gone on the floor. Keno, keno, keno! There are bartops with $1 NSUD. New plasma TVs too, hanging at the bar. Game Kings overlooking the Riverview bar with $1 NSUD are gone. In non-smoking there are 4 .25 Sigma DJ in a row by the sandwich shop. The ones by the Chinese joint moved over there.

I was there on 10/19. The .25 FPDW, JW, and 10/7 DB machines in the Riverview bar area have been replaced by Playboy slots. I looked to see if they had been moved but was unable to locate them.

As of Sept 8 the $1 FPDW machine at the Riverside is now a quarter FPDW machine. In fact all those machines near the River Bar that were dollar machines are now quarter machines. That includes the 1 Bonus machine,the 2 10/7 Double Bonus and the 1 Joker Poker - location details unknown.

"Casino West" has opened for business. This addition is on the other side of Casino Drive. There is 10,000 sq ft of new casino space on the ground floor and a soon to be completed Mexican restaurant on the second floor. "Casino West" is completely TITO. There is a square VP bar featured. What is unusual is the use of ceiling to floor glass on the north and east sides. Hopefully the ventilation is better than the low ceiling main casino. In the old north section chain food outlets have sprung up...Cinnabon, Pizza Hut, Dreyers, and Seattle Coffee. I guess this is OK, Don Laughlin does not give out food comps anyway.
