Today at EC I saw the techs remove the $.50 20/7 Joker Poker from a Multi Game VP machine near the high limit area. It appears all the Multi Game machines are being changed out to 9/6/4 DDB. I looked for $1 10/7 DB machine in the High Limit area, and it was gone as well, replaced by DDB. Another player mentioned that they were removing all the Joker Poker which paid 100 coins for a 4 of a kind.

*** MIA - *** (8) 25c 20/7 JW, 10/7 DB, NSUD, 9/6 SDB, 9/6 Bdlx, 16/11 DDW, 9/7 TDB, 9/6 JoB and 9/4/4 BDW in a circular bank at the south west corner of the casino. (7) $1 MG 20/7 JW "Multi Poker" uprights across from high-limit area. (1) $1 20/7 JW upright across from high-limit area.

*** MIA - *** (1) 25c (4700RF) 16/13/940 DDW slant-top in the Classic Slots Area.

*** MIA - *** (12) 25c/50c/$1 9/6 JoB bartops at bar by Kitty's coffee-shop.

The (12) JOB bartops have been lowered to 8/5. The (6) MG/MD DB machines at various places in the casino have been lowered to 9/7 (I did not check every one).

*** MIA - *** All of the fast 25c JW

*** MIA - *** (10) 25c 20/7 JW in alcove opposite Roberta's.

Following in the footsteps of Don the Dentist, I too have been trespassed from El Cortez. I think my main crime was allowing too much cashback to accumulate in my account.

*** MIA - *** $5 PROG (1) $5 (96.79%) 8/5 DDB PROG in high-limit area. (1) $5 (96.77%) 16/13/4 DW PROG in high-limit area. (1) $5 (96.18%) 30/6/5 JOB PROG in high-limit area. (1) $5 (95.46%) 40/20/5/4 KBJW PROG in high-limit area.

I checked every machine in the Data Base: All of the 10/7/80 DB and the (3 Play) 9/6 JoB are MIA. Some of the games that were reported MIA have reappeared including (1) 50c JW and the 10c/25c Multi-Strikes (9/5 SDB, 9/6 Bdlx and 9/6 JoB).

The (2) 50c MG JW uprights near Roberta's Cafe and the (6) $1 MG "Multi Poker" JW uprights near Roberta's Cafe are MIA.

El Cortez has apparently made a change to their tracking software similar to the one made at Palms. If you pull your player card before your credits reach zero, you get a message warning you that a carded session is in progress.

I got kicked out yesterday for only playing on 3x point days. They got on the computer when I cashed out and went through my play. Told me I wasn't welcomed there.

(4) of the 25c Downtown Deuces are MIA. (7) remain.

The (2) $1 TITO 10/7 DB in the high-limits alcove have been downgraded to 9/7. Several $1 10/7 DB machines remain around the casino but all are slow and pay in coins.
