Hi Folks:

At the Niagara Fallsview casino, the low denom (1-cent and 2-cent) machines by WMS gaming, including, Palace of Riches II, Zeus and Brazilian Beauty were constantly the first machines to be filled. WMS Gaming's "Gold Fish" was also still very popular.

The Wheel of Fortune: Big Wheel (1-cent) by IGT was also busy (while a 2-cent version of the same machine was a big flop).

IGT games like "Moohlah", "Ducks in a Row", "Alien", "Aztec Temple", "Da Vinci Diamonds", "Liger Loot" and plenty more -- were tanking badly. At least 5 of each title ... and almost always available.

Atronic is losing floor space ... the "fad" with Konami's octagonal slots appears to be past. The new Konami low limit progressives are not very popular for new machines.
