New VP Machines at Harrahs AC
Thread Rating:
Quote: jetermacawWas at Harrahs yesterday and saw a bunch of new grey machines scattered around the VP area in varied states of readiness, does anyone know what type they are or what games will be available on them?
I'll be there in about 4 hours. If nobody's reported back by then, I'll take a look.

On vpfree2, someone posted a comment about Harrah's Laughlin: "Literally 98% of all VP machines ... have been replaced."
According to player reports, all the new pay schedules are below 99%. They've eliminated the 9/6 Jacks, 8/5 Bonus and 9/7/5 DB.
They probably won't downgrade so drastically in AC, but I wouldn't expect any upgraded schedules.

Yep, they're still hanging out there all strewn about. That's all 5 feet from the door of the (currently unused) Event Central. Why not pull the huge pile of machines and chairs off the floor?
Also, at a BJ table right there, a woman just about beat the snot out of a guy as I was walking by. It turns out that "Are you a virgin?" is the incorrect response to "It's my 21st birthday, so my mom took me here!" And, interestingly, when the mom screamed "I'll kick your ass!" as the dude was being dragged away, a security guy who'd stayed behind deadpanned "we'll take care of that, ma'am."
I'm here until Monday...if this is what's happened in the first 30 minutes of Wednesday, what's the weekend going to be like?

If you go to the Borg the weekend will be hoppin', if you go to Revel not so much.

Borg was hopping now. Walked over at dinner time to stretch my legs. Probably will go walk around on the boardwalk for at least part of the weekend. I'll have to pop in to Revel and test out the escalator-of-doom.
Also walked around Harrah's more. I'd say that only about 10% of their VP games are operational. The bank of 50 & 100 play machines is gone, as are pretty much all other multi-hand games. The only remaining multi-hand games that I saw were the ones by the bus door (by where the 100 play machines were). My plan for tomorrow was to hit the 100 play machines to grab 2500 points on the multiplier day. I'm not even sure what plan B is. High-denom 9/6 JoB?
Seems unlikely to me that they would be doing simultaneous revamps in all 4 CET AC properties. Is the points X offer only good at Harrahs?

That's a good point. Maybe I'll head to the boardwalk tomorrow & check out the others. the multiplier is good at all, and I think I have a coupon for $10 in free play at the others.

Lol. Was the 21 yr old a guy or a girl? My parents took me to the casino on that day too, but def wasn't a virgin either. ;)
hopefully those 50/100 play machines will return for you without major downgrades.
