I too gave my donations, in $20 trip/lightening strikes increments, playing those white cabinet slant-tops. I never knew there were back-up meters. I do remember Elliott Shapiro stating that he hit the ACE$ either on this board, the Laughlin group or maybe privately, after I commented that it was hit.
So hamstockman, how did you find that $75,957 hit for May 2004?

Mickey, over on videopoker.com you have a long story thread. According to my notes, I too was staying at the Pioneer Hotel & Gambling Hall that Mon/Tues (April 22-23) nights right before the 2002 River Run- Harrahs gang shootout event. You were waiting for the new Acres slot card system/Double Time Jackpots promo to kick-in. I was oblivious to the possibilities. But I can confirm what you were doing that week of April 2002.
