Harrah's Reno sports bar has dollar and $.50 tito 10/7 doublebonus and 16/10 deuces

$0.25 3/5 Play JOB and NSUD near Sammy's have been downgraded.

2 $1 PEs, and 4 25C PEs, they are at the Center Steet part of the casino. The card readers on these machines tend to fail intermittently, even during tracking, when working, they should give the count-down and the session rc's (at $10 per rc). The bonus rc's vary, depending on time of the day, day of the week, your session win/loss, and time on machine. A long session gets significantly more brc's than two short sessions of same total time. The $ DB machines were downgraded to 9/7 recently. If you really want to play DB, walk next door to the Cal Neva where you'll find DB from 5c to $5, including 5c-10c-25c 3-play/5-play/10-play (get the bonus quad coupon from the slot club booth first).

All $ FPDW is gone. Those 6 machines have been totally revamped to nothing but short-pay deuces, and bonus DW games. This means that the $ 10/7 DB is also gone, and the ones in the sportsbar area have been reduced to 9/7. (Many machines have been pulled from that area, as they are planning to install a poker room in May. My expectation is that the Pick Em's will disappear at that time as well.) The .25 8/5 JOB progressive has been removed from the Sports Bar side since my last visit. There are plenty of $1 9/6 Jacks in the new machines, along with 9/7 DB and 8/5 Bonus, but I couldn't find any positive games. One interesting find: two 25c 3/5 play machines which had decent games: NSUD, 9/6 JOB, 9/7 DB & 8/5 BP These are slant-tops, located just outside of Sammy's Showroom. There are two back-to-back banks of 3 machines, but only the two outer machines farthest from the showroom have the decent games. The others look the same, and offer the same games, but with lower pay tables. Also, Steve Chan is an excellent host, who actually came to my machine on a previous trip to offer his services.

Reports indicate that the $1 10/7 DB have been downgraded to 9/7 and the $1 FPDW are MIA.

Reports indicate that the $1 FPDW are getting very little play.

Diamond Lounges now require Photo ID to get in and usually you can only take 1 guest. Be sure to have your Diamond/Platinum cards to avoid lines for buffets (find one on the floor if you don't have a card so you can avoid long lines).
