LDDW Was there yesterday. Ten of the .25 slant tops in the Sportsbar have been changed to nickel and at the lower paytable.

BP short-pay exists in SpaceQuest and general areas,' 8/5 with ALL quads paying 30, and 7/5 with 'normal' quads. No rhyme or reason, $1 can pay just as poorly as 25 cents. How about quarter 6/5 J/B just off the reg desk! Gotta check those pay schedules! Mgmt very unhappy about large jackpots: I was questioned after hitting a royal on a $5 J/B last month.

*** MIA - *** (4) $1 (3 Play) 9/6 JoB MG uprights near walkway to Benihana's.

*** MIA - *** (13) 25c AA slant-tops in Spacequest casino.

*** MIA - *** 25c/$1 PKM bartops @ Sportsbook Bar. 25c/$1 PKM bartops @ SpaceQuest Bar.

Just got back from the Hilton and am sorry to say that, as mentioned on this site a couple weeks back, the theoretical has been cut back SIGNIFICANTLY and offers keep getting trimmed back. Just to point out the magnitude of the theo cutback, while my cash-in and cash back points were consistent from my last trip, my theo was only 1/3 of my previous trip! It is also very clear that all rating levels (C-1, C-2, etc.) are not based on coin-in but theo. It seems like theo is all that matters, period. To put this in perspective, LVH formerly assigned a theo of between 4 and 5% to the 10-play quarter machines (which included 9/6 Jacks). This compares to less than 2% (and often less than 1%) that has been used for 9/6 Jacks at many casinos.
