Some positive games now require $2 coin-in to earn a point, and it's been reported that some people who only play $1  10/7 DB on 6X point days no longer get any mailings. Other players of good machines have had their mailings reduced for the same level of play.

I logged many hours playing OEJ's at Sam's Town. The correct pay table is: RF=8000; WRF=500; 5oK=500; SF=250; 4oK=50; FH=25; Flush=20; Straight=10; Trips=5; 2Pairs=5; 1Pair, Aces=5 101.4%, w/o comps,BB or CB. There may be other OEJ's at ST, but the pay ER is not as high. (Very volatile and definitely need a strategy card.)

There is a new 3/5 play $1  8/5 BP near the main cashier.

The .25 JoB 5-play MS at Sam's Town has been shorted to 9/5.

Weekend of March 4-6; a bank of at least 4, maybe 8 (don't remember) quarter PROGRESSIVE 9-6 JOB - location details unknown. Near Poker room, coffee / pastry counter and exit to the parking garage that is closest to Boulder Hiway.

Sams town is great for out of town room offers. I consider the offers I recieve to be weak for the play I give them. Every month the basic offer is the same of 3 free nights, gold card and $100 cash. I average between 80,000 and 100,000 coin in on my trips. I get much better offers from the stardust as far as trip cash goes but the machine selection and food leave a lot to be desired there. My parents also stay at sams town and they recieve 3 free nights, usually a silver card and between 25 and 50 dollars cash. They average around 25,000 coin in for the trip between them. I love sams town. The rooms are great (if you can get a suite try one) and the food is very good.

The rooms are lousy. The walls are thin. The place reeks of smoke. It's a glorified Motel 6. But the restaurants are a bit above average. Fellini's, where I ate last evening, is one of the best upscale Italian bistros in town. Billy Bob's (temporarily located near Roxy's due to renovation) is one of the better steakhouses in town. I think the buffet is at or near the top in quality and selection, and the cheap price puts it over the top.

Others may not care for it but we believe Sam's Town is a good choice. FPDW in 10c and 25c plus 10/7 DB, Sam's special Bonus Deuces, numerous 25c progressives (sometimes positive), Super Aces. A decent buffet, movie theatre, small pool, nice bowling alley, live music (Country), monthly room offers with some type of special bonus - Cashback is poor but for a tourist the room offers are worth more. It only seems to take about $3000 coin in per day to keep the offers coming.
