From a Viejas Casino player: "Stopped by Viejas for first time in a while. It appears they have changed their slot club somewhat. It is now free play OR comps, not both. Also beware points are only good for 60 days from when earned for lower card levels, 6 months for upper card levels."

From a contributor - Inventory/vp machines constantly being moved now, as casino/resort under major remodel and addition of 2nd hotel tower. Inventory may continue to move around, as the GM continues to remodel existing casino (thru end 2017 and into 2018)!

1. VIP : There is now a VIP (tiny) room, off the main floor, east-side where the promotions stage USED to be. It has some of the $1-2-5-10-25 inventory mentioned at least 2 slanttops and 2 uprights (9/6 JB, 10/6 DDB, the JW 2pr game , NSUD, BP 8/5, and DB 9/7 as I recall.

2. The former .25 on some scattered Game Kings are even more scattered- and they also have short pay at .05/.10c as multi-denom GKs. Unfortunately KENO players tend to 'tie up' these during most evening hours/weekends. There is a circular upright group of 8 and a few in 4x4 back to back row nearby in the new section (near former center bar-being taken out), in new high ceiling designed area. Some other scattered ones are near the Restrooms towards the West Entrance/Valet escalator section. 9/6 DDB, 98.91% LV Airport/Illinois Deuces and 4700-17-7-5 JW as best games. And outside the Grove are the newer (I call them fat/squat semi-slant machines, similar to ones I've seen at Harrah's Laughlin There are only 6 in a row (used to be 6+6 bank, other side is now All-Star 2 config- shortpay games. The 6 single liners have 9/6 DDB, 15-9 Airport/Illinois 2s/wild as best games (no JW). 7/5 BP also. config also for .50c, and prog for $1. The DW for $1 might be the 20-12 version though. Stay tuned for updates, as things changing rapidly since July / Aug 2017, with final opening not determined yet (on new restaurant/hotel, and I assume more casino areas).

CLOSED - Upstairs OTB/Mexican deli, center bar and Coffeeshop too! The whole area is being 'rebuilt' into something-tbd. Casino mgt seems to like the high ceiling design (reminds me of PH in LV or similar), and I think the current GM is from NYNY or Cosmopolitan.

Casino under remodel 2016-2017; Some GameKings do have 9/6 DDB, 15/9 ugly dw, 4700-17-7-5 JW. Scattered uprights .05-.10-.25, but ONLY .25 denom as best games (shortpay for nickels/dimes).

Squat (larger screen) multigames outside Grove Steakhouse have .25-.50- ($1 -prog/lower paytable) 15-9 ugly dw, 9/6 ddb as best games; 7/5 BP also.

Slot club 'tier' levels:Slot club 'tier' levels:

As a 2nd tier (Silver), takes about 10k* over 6 months (rolling?). Unknown monthly offers 'boosted' in weekly freeplay and free 'staycation' hotel offers. Hotel rooms are excellent (4/5 Star AAA rated), with free USA today newspapers, coffee in room, and other amenities w/ 'no' resort fee/taxes on comp'd rooms.

*VP in GameKings is $5/pt vs $10/pt. VIP games in $1 and higher might be $10/pt. So on .25 denom reported, adds .2% and maybe .1-.2% in weekly freeplay, seems to be higher if more recent (past 3 months) avg play higher. Will report as I just renewed Silver from recent play (Nov 2016-Feb 2017). I also have mixed in some penny slot play

Bartops update - at least at the bartops I checked in center of casino (small bar under where North of the Border Mexican food/offtrack betting is above), they have .25 / $1vp prog games, semi-short pay.

.25 is pretty unplayable 8/5 JB, 6/5BP, 20-12 ugly dw, but at least prog RF (was $1398). $1 VP prog better (was $5100) with 15-9 ugly dw, 7/5 BP, 9/5 JB as better games. 8/6 Bonus pkr Deluxe and I think 9/5 ddb.

(1) $0.50 100 play machine in the VIP area has: 60/8/5 SA 99.94% - 1000/20/10 JW2 99.92% - DBDW 99.81% - 16/10 NSUD 99.73% - 80/9/5 SDB 99.69% - 9/6 Bdlx 99.64% - 9/7 TDB 99.58% - 9/6 JoB 99.54% - 9/4/4 BDW 99.45% - 8/5 BP 99.17% - 9/7 DB 99.11% - 50/9/6 DDB 98.98%. I didn't see a $0.50/$1 100 play machine. They also had (2) 3/5/10 play machines with 9/6 Job, 16/10 NSUD, and a couple others I didn't write down... not in the VIP area.

The 25c/50c/$1 9/6 JoB that were scattered around the casino have been downgraded to 8/5. I could not find one machine at 9/6. When I was there in July, it was plentiful. Plus, there seems to be less VP machines and more slots available. They had one $1 BP machine with a fuzzy screen that had 8/5. All others I could find had been downgraded to 7/5.

I recently took in the '1.8M' expanded area - to see what all the hype was about. Actually, they did a pretty good job (savvy new casino area sort of reminds me of the Palms/HR parts of it, but placed in a room with Large Glass windows overlooking the surrounding hills and plains). Machine-wise, not much inventory added. I think that whatever was in the 'old' VIP room is now in the newer one, which is much more open. In fact, anyone can walk just past the curving 'V-bar and lounge area' (no machines at the bar, but good eats, not so cheap, and hi def plasma TVs). There are about 6-8 Multi Demon GameKings ($2-5-10-25) with fullpay NSUD, JB, BP, BPDeluxe, DDB, and even Bonus DW (99.4). If you can stand the volatility - there is also Triple Bonus Plus (99.8) the 100-1 for SF and 1200 Aces/600 2s-4s 9/5 game. (Like White Hot Aces). DB is std. 9/7. Also requires $10/pt, so .1%, although I've read somewhere that 'higher' tier players can earn as much as .2-.4%. Of course, that's miniscule and relative to one's coin-in. If you can afford to run 600K or more through such games, then these are the machines you should probably play. There are some $1-2-5 3/5 play slanttops, as well. And 2 scattered upright (.50c only) 100 plays. 2 pr joker game 10-6-5, Super Aces, Super Dbl Bonus were unique on this platform, in addition to NSUD/JB/Bonus Deluxe as higher paying games. Nothing more of note. Just a nicer environment to play in. The one Multi-strike game that USED to be in the SLOT CITY area seems to have disappeared, along with the WALLS that now open up into the new swanky west-side casino. The LONE machine that is still listed in VpFree database is still ok (East side area).
