I was on a play in Indiana right up your alley on Friday. A progressive the casino played with and was different from my last visit there. A quarter 7/5 BP progressive. I played it intermittently $2500 to $2800+. I had plenty of time alone on it in
the morning and clocked the meter at .8%. I'm guessing this is a mistake based on this casino's history and other offerings. I hung it up at about 2:00 AM. Meter still climbing. Uprights slow and uncomfortable as hell. My back, arms, fingers,
shoulder and even legs were hurting by the end. Still, in the old days I would have played until it popped... or I dropped.

Those uprights give you tennis elbow in less than three hours. I don't understand how the pros played them before the new consoles. And that shelf in the bottom for a woman's purse - just the right height to smack you in the knee if you get too close.

Seems to be a trend toward 7-5 Bonus Progressives in the last year, I don't mind as long as it is a reasonably fast meter. Easy game to play when it is positive.

Many changes at Stations casinos, for instance: Boulder Station, 1-2-3-4-5-7-25-40-80-50-1000. (notice the 1000 coin royal, 98.53%) 15 at Brewer's Bar, 31 at Kixx Bar, 23 at Havana Lounge Bar, 34 at Sports Bar, total 103 bartops.

Those were 7-5 for years, but now they have added the $5000 re-set. I'm curious as to the meter rate. Maybe Risky would be so kind as to check for me.

We lost some good progressives between the loss of the two Fiestas. Sad.

Uprights are always painful for long sessions. These clunkers were especially bad. Something about the height of the chairs and machine platform and the force required to hit the buttons...

I was pretty proud of myself for getting the strategy changes right. 7/5 BP has been pretty normal for a while, I think. It's just that other plays were so much stronger they didn't garner attention. Many years ago I hit a $ 7/5 BP prog in the area of
$10K at Planet Hollywood.

I may ask for your last available info on Vegas inventory if we can get away this year at some point. Currently dealing with the superannuated set, which puts all plans on hold. The D still have their bartops? It was always a good standby.

I was talking at length yesterday to a friend who plays D. Those games are very popular, and the same game is at Golden Gate.
