Points are now based on theo and one factor is length of play on a machine. 25c 8/5 JoB Bonus Flush (99.8%) slant-tops (pays double for flush type hands in one suit). (6) 25c PROG (RF) (6 way meter: RF .33% 4D .5% WR .33% 5K .33% SF .5% 4K .5%) 16/13 DW (96.8%) TITO slant-tops near cashier. Reduced cashback has now spread to $5 video poker. All the machines I checked in high-limits, including the newly reintroduced 9/6 JoB, now require $20 (instead of $15) for 5c cashback. This 33% reduction in cashback results in a greater than 67% increase in casino advantage over optimum play ( 3.075 cents vs 5.15 cents per hand ). The slot director's desire to shaft the players is further exemplified by the fact that he has the machines set so that countdowns are lost when your card is removed. Note as they continue to raise countdowns, this results in an increase in lost cashback due to card removal (including the staff every time you get a handpay -- not insignificant on high denomination games like Double Bonus and Double Double Bonus). Back in the Steve Wynn days, point countdowns were retained when removing card and even when changing machines. (6) 25c `(3/5 Play) MG 8/5 BP uprights near Sportsbook. 25c MG 8/5 BP bartops at Claude's Bar. (2) 25c MG Spin Poker 8/5 BP slant-tops near cashier. 25c/50c MG/MD 8/5 BP bartops @ bar near Starbucks. (5) 25c SEQ RF PROG ($15,000 reset) 9/7 DB uprights near Sportsbook. $1/$2/$5 8/5 BP and $1 8/5 Ace$. 25c (10 Play) 8/5 BP. 25c Multi-Strike 8/5 BP. 5c 10/7 DB. $1 (3/5 Play) and $5/$25/$100 9/6 JoB. $2 PROG 8/5 BP. The last 5c (10 Play) 10/7 DB. Play 5c 10-Play 10/7 DB at a daily average of $5,000 - $7,500 a day over 4 trips of 1 to 3 days each. Currently ahead about $2,000 due to freaky luck! Normally get offers for 2 or 3 nights anytime and either $100 or $200 in free slot play. About $18,000 Coin-In per day for a room comp. Yesterday, the multi-line machines containing 10/7 DB were MIA except for one with 10-play plus the bank of nickle single-line multi-game that also included the 10/7 DB. I surveyed the entire casino floor and didn't see if they were moved somwhere; they were nowhere to be found. All of the 5c (1/3/5/10 Play) 10/7 DB are MIA. Out of service, Fate unknown. There are appx. 24 of the Nugget's proprietary Bonus Flush (8/5 JoB that pays double for flush type hands in one suit) $0.25 TITO machines in several rows in front of the main cashier. The old Royal payline of 1000/2000 has been downgraded slightly to a more conventional 800/1600 now making the game around 99.5%, I believe. I don't know if they had a special points promotion going for bonus flush, but they were yielding 10 points per spin on 1/3 & 1/4. I played about 2-3 hours each day and racked up over 8,000 points. Another Analysis: In your selected suit, flush, str flush and royal flush pays double. The average of the 4 hands comes to 99.8165%. (3) $1 9/6 JoB Game Makers next to Stefano's escalator are MIA. Replaced with MG/MD that have $5 9/6 JoB. The Jacks or Better on the one $1-$2-$5 MG/MD Hundred Play machine in high-limits has been downgraded from 9/6 to 9/5. The machine right next to this machine is now a five coin $100 MG machine with 9/6 JB as the best game. Many machines in the casino now have labels stating they accept Free Play. 2x points for locals on Wed & Fri has been discontinued for video poker at $1 denominations and higher. The new triple/five plays that Jaycee mentioned with 9/6 JoB are in dollars. They are in five slantops just outside the Spa Tower elevators. All machines that I saw except for the five Bally machines in the high-limit area are now TITO. Not sure if all of them have it activated yet but I understand they will be soon. They call them Quickets. All the 5c 10/7 Double Bonus machines are now in one bank by the buffet comp line. There are sixteen multigame upright machines as follows: (8) 5c single-line (3) 5c ten-plays (5) 5c three/five plays The bank of fourteen 25c machines near the keno change booth with the sequential royal progressive that used to be 8/5 Bonus Poker are now 9/7 Double Bonus. There are eight single-line 5c 10/7 Double Bonus machines in upright multigames near the buffet comp line. They haven't made any recent changes to the slot club. Changes that were made in the months prior to takeover were made at the request of the new owners. Comps build at a secret rate. The (1) 5c Ten Play and (3) 3/5 Play 10/7 DB uprights just inside northwest entrance are MIA (downgraded). The (1) 5c Ten Play and (3) 3/5 Play uprights near buffet comp line are still there.
