*** MIA - *** (1) 25c Sigma 9/5 JWD uprights near Subway shop in the large Festival of Slots casino. (3) 25c Sigma 8/5 DJ uprights near Subway shop in the large Festival of Slots casino.

We checked out the new casino at MGM, but ended up back at Mohegan. 9/6 Jacks available only in $5 and $10 denominations. We found short pay pickem everywere, 7/5 Jacks, 6/5 Bonus Poker, 7/7/7 All American at the bar... Nothing at all playable. It is a beautiful casino, surprisingly uncrowded, but it was a weekday morning.

The MG/MD machines scattered around the casinos have $1 7/5 Bonus, 9/5 DDB, 6/5 SDDB, 8/5 Jacks and a couple of other 95-97% games.

Now only 1 sigma double joker 9/5 FP left. The three 8/5 double jackpot remain

I combed through all the IGTs in Great Cedar since they moved and all 9/7 DB was downgraded.

I was at Foxwoods last night. I did not find any of the .50 or $1 Sigmas in the Great Cedar. I ran into a technician supervisor coming out of the curtained area. He said that they are phasing out the Sigmas, since the founder died and no more are made, and that those machines are in a truck back to Las Vegas. The .25 Sigmas are still around for now in the Festival of Slots.

At foxwoods there are now ony (2) $1 8/5 Bonus and $1 10/7/4 DB.

The BP machines are outside high-limit in the Cedar. I found 4 machines, not together. Near the wall, two on either side of the aisle. They're slow clunkers. Because they are Sigmas, they say "Four of a Kind Bonus" instead of "Bonus Poker".

There haven't been any major changes recently but you should update the list as follows: Points purge after 18 months but may be re-activated upon visit to the casino. Slot day is 6:00am - 6:00am. All the good machines on the list are upright models. .25 machines: The snack bar referred to is a Subway shop. The DB and BP macines do not pay 900 for 4 aces at this coinage. They should be removed from the list. 10/6/5 DB (99.3%) There are (3) of the .50 machines and they are Sigma's. No $1 machines at 10/6/5. 10/7/4 DB (99.2) There are (5) not (4) of these at $1 and they also are Sigma's. 8/5 BP (99.2%) There are (5) not (4) of these as well. 9/7 DB (99.1%) These are IGT's.

Gas cards are now 150 points for $100. Still not bad with double points this month.

I was at the Woods last night and they changed the paytables on one or two of the Double Jokers in the casino by Bingo to 10/8/6/4/1/1 (I think that was it). Also near those machines, the .50/$1 Double Down Stud machines have lowered the paytable to 6-J being 1:1 (for the 97% version it is 6-10 is 1:1 J-A 2:1).

I scouted the high-limit areas and all the 9/6 JOB machines ($25+) and the 100 NSU deuces machine are DOA. On the $1.00 machines (played the Sigma BP)the coin count is now 90 before doubling (was 80 at my last visit), and for quarter machines it continues at 140. The lone $1 Double Joker has been donwngraded to 8/5.

Noticed GameMaker $5.00 machines w full pay pickem in Grand Pequot casino high-limit area (which appear to be new) as well as the long standing $5 machines in the Great Cedar casino high area. The meters on .25c and .50c machines are at 140 and dollar and higher are at 80; so it appears they abandoned the 90 for all games.

All of the full pay PKM @ Foxwoods are MIA.

I was at the woods last night playing at the casino near the bingo hall and they have installed some new Sigma TITO machines near the snack bar on the left hand side. They now have a few .25 9/5 Double Jokers (99.97%), 8/5 Double Jackpot Poker (99.62%), 10/6/5 (99.33%) and 10/7/4 (99.26%) DB. They also have 7/6/5 Double Double Jackpot (98.31%), a 10 Hand Stud poker machines and 5 Joker Poker (I'm not sure what the pay tables for those 2 are, I was in too much shock from seeing the other pay tables!). I can't figure that place out, they remove all of the pick'ems and install those games. Of course, only time will tell how long those paytables will remain.
