I have not been able to get back to Las Vegas for a couple of years, and finally booked my next stay in September. My favorite times are playing the old 9/6 Video Poker machines in which you have to keep pumping in the quarters... no credits, just chink-chink-chink of the quarters. These were at Jerry's Nugget and up on the 2nd floor balcony at the California, and last time I was there I spent many an hour having fun. I am catching up on the back issues of LVA to preceed my trip, and I saw mention of work at the Cal that involved changing on the balcony area. Does the Cal still have those machines up there or (sob!) might they be history? Years ago I also played these types of machine in the hallway towards the back entrance at Nevada Palace and in an area at the Cannery. Any other players fondly recall these machines?
