New VP Machines at El Cortez

Per Bob Dancer - there are eight new quarter TITO machines that have
just been added.
The machines include:

9/6 Jacks or Better
10/7 Double Bonus
9/5 Super Double Bonus
9/7 Triple Double Bonus
NSU Deuces Wild
16/11 Double Deuces
9/4/4 Deuces Bonus
4000/20/7/5 KBJW

The games are on a circular bank of machines at the south west
corner of the casino --- just inside from the corner of Fremont and
6th
Street. Since you're 10 feet or so away from doors opening to the
outside, you might want dress more warmly than you normally do in
casinos.

The speed of the games is set to "reasonably fast". This is in
contrast to many El Cortez machines which are set slower than most of
us
want them.

I didn't think about that. Do you touch the actual screen or the
buttons? I always use the buttons & I think the buttons are the same
height, whether on a slant-top or upright. However, I usually lean
back when I play an upright machine, because, well, I'm so laid back
anyway. I've never noticed any discomfort, except in my pockets due
to lack of money after several hours in front of one of those infernal
machines, which I will happily play again next month.

Is it FEBROOOARY yet?

He was assaulted by a gang of rogue uprights walking to the El Co one
night. It happens more than anyone of us will admit.

The uprights put a strain on his ilk...

Reminds me of 'Franklin' in one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes.
