We were in KC in September and the host told us they were also putting in all new VP machines but he emphasized that they were putting in the same chips from the old machines so there will be no change to their hold.

Besides 9/6 jacks, they have 8/5 bonus poker, 9/7/5 double bonus, kings or better joker poker with a 4,700 royal and three Aces and Faces games. The Double double Aces and Faces returns 99.45. The games can be played at the $1 and $2 levels and the three machines on the opposite side of the bank offer the same games at the $5 and $10 levels.
