They were taken out at the casino closest to me. They still have them in a few other casinos. I'm now going to one of those casinos.
I keep track of lots of stats. It's something mathematicians have a tendency to do. One never knows what the machines will do in the short term but over time the odds prevail. The more one plays the more likely they are to approach the statistical frequency distribution based on random deals. While I haven't hit a RF for quite awhile I hit 5 wild royals (1000 credits) yesterday in about 4 hours (average about one in 6 hours at my rate of play on these machines (3700 hands). That alone was worth about the same as a royal.
I drive through WBL (35E) when I go to the Grand Casino Hinckley. A little over an hours drive. Or, you can go up to Hinckley and play the OEJs machines for yourself. I'm there on Sundays this month (7x points + $100 in freeplay). Was up over $2K with my play yesterday but still no royal.
PS. I'm sure they will comp you dinner if you play enough. They have plenty of 97% DDB/SDB and BP (or A&F). Should be right in your wheelhouse. If you win I'll expect a nice finder's fee.![]()
