Feb, 2008 There are (2) 25c slanttop 9/7 DB (PROG on all 4ks and higher) BANKS along the wall to the 'left' of the Keno room entrance, 180 degrees from slot club (if you entered from that 'videopkr' room).
Nov, 2004 The original Pioneer (Laughlin, NV) Free VP tournaments "Nothing to Lose" and "Nothing to Lose II" have been discontinued. They have been replaced by "Doc Holladay's Players Only Free Video Poker Tournament". Wednesdays and Fridays; sessions on the hour from 7 am to 2 pm each day. Pays 11 places: total of $900 cash + $400 free play each day. Requires players club cards and $20 cash-in on day of tournament to qualify. They also randomly draw for $25 in Extra-Play at each session, adding $200 to the prize pool of a maximum of 8x30=240 players. So the minumum value is $6.25 plus a soda pop or water. These are 20 minute/1500 credit sessions played on Bonus 8/5 games. They also started a similiar slot tourney on Thursdays with less available spots.

Aug, 2004 The lone 25c FPDW reappeared and is now MIA again.
Jul, 2004 Bad News- a bank (2x7) of old skinny IGT .25 uprights have been replaced by new Game Kings in .05, .10 and .25. Once again it is crappola in the paytables with all three denominations having matching games in the 96-97% range. The one FPDW and the one LD are now off the floor along with several Jacks. (I don't know how the cocktailer will ever find me, may that Deuces RIP). Good News- now all the bartop and cocktail table Gamemakers have 9/6 Jacks in .25, .50 and $1. So that is all 10 cocktail tables in Sassy Sue's Saloon, 4 in Sassy Sue's bartops and 4 in the Watering Hole bartops. This is how they were a year ago. Promos- the graveyard "Nothing to Lose II" free VP tourney has been suspendend until snowbird season. The free daytime one continues. Buffet- keeps improving in quality and variety, it could be out of last place.
Jun, 2004 The 3 Flex-plays by the main cage with $1 Jacks have been turned into Keno - location and game details are unknown. There is reference of two MG by Sassy Sues. These slant-tops have been moved over by the slot club. They had the Bonus Deluxe and Jacks at .25, and still do. (more green Keno replaced the whole row by Sassy Sues) Good News- some of the Bally Gamemakers that just had $1 Jacks 9/6, now have been re-established with .25 and .50 Jacks too. Three of ten in the cocktail tables in Sassy Sues now have Jacks in three denominations. Some bartops might be affected too. Promos-got the marketing mailer today (6/23) for the next quarter. Double points and comps high noon Tues until high noon Weds through September. This flyer is now 12 pages long and for three months. Anyone can grab one at the slot club. In-house promo I discovered last trip- "Cash for Gas". Register a gasoline reciept that is less than 48 hours old and then you have 48 hours to match it in Cashback. So if you play during 2x points you can turn the base 1/12% cashback rate into a respectable 1/3%. The flyer says this will run until 9/03/04. The very fun and profitable "Prize 'O' Plenty" promo was abruptly discontinued on May 27th...even though it was listed for twice a week through the June calendar. I guess someone finally started adding up the numbers. It was worth about $20 in cash or comps everytime someone spun that wheel! I kept hitting the $50 in X-tra Play or the Granny's Sunday Buffet for two spot myself. They changed their minds about turning the River Room into a Poker Room, for now. This means the free VP tourneys continue. They are fun.
