Casino Royale lowered the payouts on their 25 cent to $2 ten play triple double machines -- the flush now pays 5 instead of 7 coins -- a loss of about 1.3%

The 50-cent, $1 and $2 Jacks or Better have been removed from the four machines near the restrooms. I stayed when they removed the 50-cent FPDW. I stayed when they removed the $1 FPDB. I stayed when they removed the $5 FPJB. Unfortunately now I see no reason to play there. For visitors the 25-cent 8/5 Bonus Poker might still be a marginal play with 0.75% CB & 0.75% comps for five hours a day along with the monthly bonus coupons and the free room coupon.

Casino/Hotel is ON the strip and the walk to the room is very short. Young, low-rolling crowd which can be very entertaining in itself. Outback Steakhouse has replaced the Italian restaurant. Usual Subway fare and so,so Denny's. Small, so drinks usually arrive quickly and floor people are easy to find. Coinless machines. Small (but clean) rooms. Street side rooms are very noisy. VP machine inventory has continued to be downgraded.
Multi-line machines are exempt from coupons and promotions.
