The full pay .25 pickem in the old poker room are back as of 5/1.

I was at MS last night and they had shut down the 2 rows of gamemakers in the old poker room (one set contained .25 FP Pickem) and were playing with the motherboards, so that can't be good either. There are only 2 bars left with $1 9/6 JoB also (bow and arrow and hall of lost tribes).

They just downgraded the points on quarter machines to 1/180 from 1/90. This is worse than the 1/160 that they upped it from a couple months ago.

Both of the 50 plays that had the 8/5 SAs are now 6/5. There is a 3/5 play $5 MG on your immediate right as you enter the Hall of Lost Tribes from the entrance closest to the parking garage has 9/6 JOB for both 3 and 5 play. Can bet up to 10-coins for high rollers.

Slot days runs from 6:00am-6:00am. All 3/5 plays on list are MIA. [The 50 play is still good but only (1) of these.] 99.9% PKM NOT MIA (They were only down a few days during adjustments.) : (4) 25c TITO Game Makers near the bar in the Hall of Lost Tribes casino. ADD: (6) 25c Game Maker slant-tops in right half of Smoke-Free Gaming room of Sky casino. MIA: The $10 Game Maker. The (8) 25c Game Maker slant-tops in the new slot area (where the poker room used to be) are in Earth casino. 9/6 JoB (99.5%) Circular bar in Sky casino is called Star bar, (21) of these bartops. (25) at Bow & Arrow. (21) at Wolf Den. (15) at Hall of Lost Tribes. No $2, just $1. MIA: Bartops at Cabaret are downgraded.

The 25c PKM machines now earn 1 point per $90 coin-in.

The Racebook Bartops were upgraded to TITO, but along with this they downgraded the $1 JOB to 8/5. Very disappointing as this was a nice quiet place to play. The Bow and Arrow and Video Star bars still had $1 Job as of 2/18/05.

The remaining 2 $10 PE machines in the new casino have been downgraded.

Stopped by the Mohegan Sun Wednesday, all the $1 and $5 Pick'Em in the old casino were out of service. 25 cent remained full pay, but were all taken. Walked over to the new section, all the $5 Pick'Em have been converted to short pay. All $1/$5 single line JoB have also been downgraded (except at the bars) and the $25 PKM is MIA.

The (4) $1  9/6 JOB slant-tops in a carousel near the Wolf Den are MIA. Add (3) $5 PE slant-top Gamemakers in the high-limit slot room in the old casino.

Just got back from MS and all the bartops have been changed since our last visit two weeks ago except for the cabaret bar. They are now .01, .05 .25 and $1 denomination. The machines were tied up with penny and nickel playsers and getting a seat was really difficult. The cabaret bar will soon undergo these changes also. There are no more 10-coin $1 JOB at the bartops.

There are 2 FP Super Aces on the 3/5 play $5 machines in the new high-limit slots area in the circular bank near the entrance to the lounge.

A host at MS told us that parking, swipping your card, checking your card for points or shopping is not considered a day of play for averages unless you put $s in a machine. We asked him whether it would be better for a h & w who play once a week for x$ each to play one week under his card for 2x$ and the next week under hers for 2x$. The host said it would be better, even though frequence of visits is considered as well as avarage theo. Also, you can't use one card if 1 plays tables and 1 plays machines. Note further that sometimes hosts answer questions without definite knowledge.

Ther are (4) $1 JB slant-tops in a carousel near the Wolf Den entrance.

Just came back from the Sun. Half of the GameMakers were converted to quarters and the others ($1) were moved to the left half of the room. Half of the IGT's there were converted to quarters and moved to the right half of the room. So now all quarters to the right and all dollars (& $5) to the left with same pay scales. So no more waiting in line for you quarter people; it's the dollar people's turn.
