Triple Trouble Poker

[mike]

Hi Susan, triple trouble is indeed found on the Bally gamemaker machines, which are getting harder to find as they get older and get replaced with new games. In my travels, I've seen triple trouble mostly in northern Nevada along I-80....check the bars at the locals casinos, that's where most of the gamemakers are. I know the Red Lion in Elko had them last year, with the triple trouble on the menu. The Pioneer and the Golden Nugget in Laughlin may have some, and in Vegas you might want to check to LV Hilton way in the back where the Star trek stuff is, the Imperial Palace upstairs sports bar, the Riviera, Slots a Fun, Circus Circus, and the Tropicana, all still had gamemakers last year. I never saw any in Colorado but I have in New Mexico, if that helps. Good luck.

Re: Triple Trouble Poker

Thank you, Mike. I live on the east coast and learned that the triple trouble machines have been taken out of Dover Downs where I used to play and replaced with newer machines. Guess I'll have to find another fun video poker, any suggestions?

Re: Triple Trouble Poker

I noticed that when I was in Dover Downs last year....they removed all of their gamemakers, even the newer ones. The Mohegan Sun had some gamemakers last year on the floor and at the Bow and Arrow bar, none at Foxwoods anymore. The Sands in Atlantic City had some upstairs also. Don't waste your time in West Virginia looking for them......there are none there.
Note: I'm just referring to the Gamemaker machines.....not sure if triple trouble are on these machines. Good luck.

Re: Triple Trouble Poker

I absolutely used to love the Odyssey machines with the jacks or better and dueces wild playoff poker. That's the one where the white gloves would deal the cards and you'd get a pink bonus card dealt every 120 or so hands and have a showdown with one of three different characters for the bonus pot. The pots would reset at 75 and I would consistently find them in the 200-400 range and make decent money on them. There were also other bonus games on the Odysseys, such as Fort Knox, Mystic Fortune, and Pirates Treasure. Those were my bread and butter machines for a few years, but they're all gone now except for maybe the Golden Gate in downtown Vegas.....there were 2 left there last year. The best time to make money on the bonus machines was in the late 90's......they were everywhere......there had to be a couple hundred Odyssey machines alone, on the strip at that time among a host of other types. Remember the bingo games and the safe busters....those were other cash cow games for me. Ahhhh.......those were the days !

Re: Triple Trouble Poker

I sort of remember the Odyssey game, but I am not familiar with the other machines you mentioned. The first time I went to Vegas was in 1976 and played the nickel slot machine. Ballys machines were everywhere then. I hit three watermelons for 600 coins and couldn't believe it. But now for the mostpart, I stick to the v/p machines. I love the challenge and don't mind it when I win . . . lol.

Take care and have a good day!

I left Dover Downs over the loss of my devils, as I like to call them. I informed them in person and in writing and they are gone. As is my money. A real shame, too, because its an easy, enjoyable 2 hour ride from my house. Dover looks nothing like it used to when I first started coming there in the 80's. I like change, but it doesnt even feel right anymore. I am told, however, that the Borgata has Gamemaker Triple Trouble machines, but I have not been present to investigate (working too much, not enough play)
Anyway - will ty to verify it at the Borgata and will report best I can for Vegas (I'm using Mike's
Triple Trouble map first - especially at the Riviera, since Im staying there., I will report back. I really love those little guys and the last time I played them was in Nassau Bahamas /Nautilus,/
Without devils, I won a royal flush and left with $1100 of their money and a very happy happy smile on my face ! This was after a day of playing on about 40-50 bucks. Ahh the good life.
I digress. I will be on the hunt for the redfaced little cherubs and will report bad sightings I';ve had,. Thanks!!

Triple trouble is one of my favorite slots. I am heading to Vegas on the 27th. Did you find any there?

Thanks
