Actually, FH no longer has any NSUD. The upstairs bank of triple play
progressives which had the points slashed contain JOB as well as
several other sub 99% games.
The bank near the sports book, where the NSUD used to be, still gives
full points (or at least does not have the $4 per point signs). This
makes Bonus Poker a decent game on 5X points days, just at 100% with
the royals at reset, and in positive territory as the royals increase.
