Hi Folks:

This is a brand new idea from WMS ... what does everyone think? It looks pretty volatile. I can't wait to run $100 through and see what happens! I dream of those giant stacked WILDS all lining up!

If I find it, I'll play it. But I'm a little burned out on volatility right now. I've been trying to pass on the new stuff (unsuccessfully) and concentrate on classics. I found a Multi-way(?) Stinkin' Rich with 4 screens, 100 lines each, for 20-cents bet per screen. With 100 lines, it's easy to get 20+ spins in the bonus round.

I can't wait to givee them a try!! Are they being rolled out to the casinos yet? Has anyone seem them around Las Vegas?

Hi daddywowwow:

I was playing the original CHINA MOON ... and that was fun. I also played IGT's MAX ACTION ... and had a few nice line hits on that one (bonus pays very little).

As far as STINKIN RICH / BOMBAY ... there was a time where I could score some impressive hits on that machine. For one thing, the BONUS seems impossible to land. Secondly, I don't win as much on the spins I get. I hear other people say the same thing. At one time, the minimum payout setting was over 90% (according to the IGT site), but now, there are versions which seem to be significantly lower. This game seems to live off past reputation now. Anyone get a REALLY good hit on it lately. I must still be possible.

Hi joelowe2:

I haven't heard anything yet ... the WMS Facebook site is the best place to get the latest on actual release dates and locations! A great resource if anyone has not subscribed yet!

According to a text I received yesterday, Spartaus, Van Helsing, and Lil' Red are up at Atlantis Reno. It might be January before I can get up there, though.

Well it sure looks like these will be very fun to play and possibly you can win a lot of money if you get the bonus on top of bonus spins, etc. How much though do you have to put in the machine before you get any good results? Luck and being at the right machine at the right time I guess. I haven't seen any of these at Chukchansi, but if they get them, I will play them.

Shamus, Re: Stinkin' Rich/Bombay, I loved the old Stinkin' Rich and would usually do pretty well; can't say the same about the newer version. Bombay has always given me trouble and I tend to avoid it as I either can't get a bonus or do poorly in the bonus. I just saw the new 4 game(?) Stinkin' Rich today for the first time at the Palms Casino. Played the Phantom for the first time.. fun bonus but underwhelming in pay. Quit as soon as the bonus was over.

Hi daddywowwow:

Well ... that is exciting news ... let's hope those games spread quickly. I can't wait to give them a good workout!
