You can get 9/6 JOB in $5+ single line at a few machines in HL and outside, BUT
YOU GET NO POINTS FOR PLAY. There is a placard on those machines now (gold
rectangle with black letters) stating this. In addition, I believe you cannot
redeem freeplay on those machines. However, play on the 9/6 is still tracked
for ADT and mailers, etc.
There are several single line games @ $5+ offering 8/5 BP that do
give points. $5+ Multi-line games that offer JOB or BP at all are at 9/5 and 7/5 respectively, except
Spin Poker still has 8/5 BP @ $5+ (probably an oversight). 9/7/5 DB or 9/6 DDB are still widely available @ $5+ on all types of machines.
Explanation for downgrades was that they got burned badly by certain players hammering
the multi-line high-$ JOB that turned positive with promotions, or at least
failed to generate sufficient ADT to pay for the value placed on the amenities
offered to such players. If they're going to put a $1000-$2000 internal value
on a room-night for those players, that might cause a problem.

As of yesterday afternoon (Friday 4/30) there were still a few $5 9/6 JoB at Wynn. If like their previous downgrades, it takes them awhile to change all the machines.
