After reading the Blog by Johndavid I went down to the Seminole Brighton Casino in South Florida. They still have not joined the Players Life, so I was not able to play all of the additional bonuses or to save my miles. (Could not even get to the prancing pony bonus). Very disappointed! Will continue to ask them so that we can enjoy the Two Towers full version. Hopefully they will have it soon. Only see 3 other casinos in Florida that have the LOTR Two Towers....may have to visit them.

Torry! Don't forget that you can reach the Prancing Pony Bonus (level) by simply following directions on the playerslife.com site home page. Just click on the "Play Now" link and assuming you're logged in, you'll be in business. After playing in the casino, you'll be able to come back home and qualify for the next bonus, Arwen's Rescue. Repeat the process to qualify for Isildur's Sword, and the Balrog. Good Luck!

I already have 250 miles accumulated from playing the original LOTR. When you go to sign in at Seminole Brighton it says network unavailable. Talked to the Casino Host and he is working on the problem. Can't wait to go to Vegas the first week of August to experience the full version.

I don't think bonus win amounts are predetermined in LOTR...there is too much disparity between payouts by bonus. The max payout for Urek Battle and Sword are kinda capped...for example, betting 1.20 the most I ever get for defeating him is $60.00 at the end, usually bringing the total bonus win around $130. I have won $400 bonues in Fireworks. You can't even win $400 on some bonuses (given my bet amount), so no way in my opinion bonus amounts are predetermined.

Sadly, the facts state it, the only bonuses that you can affect are "take it or keep going" bonuses. Thats not an opinion its a fact. And even in those bonuses, the maximum is capped even though you can fall short. So if you particularly play the Fireworks instead of the Balrog, there isnt a magic trick that makes fireworks pay more. And if you base it off the leaderboards think volume, what game gets played more then anything? the first couple unlocked free ones IE Gandalfs fireworks

I disagree with your facts based on experience and the leaderboard. I guess if someone tells me they won over $400 on a Urek Battle bonus betting $1.20 a spin I might concede. But my experience, having beating him 3-4 times completely, shows consistency...each time the values for beating him are 6.00, 12.00, 18.00, 24.00, and 60.00. The values for the 4 orcs you beat up before Urek varie, but never seen them more than 6.00 (given my bet size of $1.20). And yes, I think you can arrive at the conclusion that bonus amounts are not predetermined by looking at the leaderboard. Notice Urek and Isdurs top 100 bonus payouts any week...compare those to Balrog, a game like Fireworks with multplier potential. Balrog will have top amounts far exceeding those two...amounts you cannot even obtain in those bonuses. So, despite you claim to "fact", bonus amounts are not predetermined in LOTR.

Anyone out there know when those of us in the central US might get a look at one of the new Two Towers games? None of the casinos in Oklahoma seem to have them yet.

Awesome. Can not wait till this comes to PA.

Just got back from AC. The CET properties have converted ALL their original LOTR machines into LOTR: The Two Towers (in the same locations) and it looks like they kept the denominations set as they were.

Caesars has 4 @ 2c. Harrahs has 4 @ 5c. Ballys has 4 @ 1c. Showboat has 4 machines and the cabinet graphics are converted, but the machines are still not up and running as of noon today. I am assuming these will be set at 2c.

All of these new Two Towers machines are pre-set to begin the player at mile 75.

Good to see Two Towers in AC.

Hope other casinos in town get them soon as normally I don't go to CET casinos. I am jumping on a day off next week and staying over at Trump Plaza and hope the old LOTR slots have new Two Towers near.

Thought I would post some info from the Gulf. I was in Lake Charles, LA the day after the 4th. Sadly discovered L'Auberge du Lac has pulled LOTR and apparently has no plans to instal TT. Coushatta Casino in Kinder has put in 2 TT machines. They didn't seem to be getting much play. During the afternoon I played each machine and had only fair luck. Three to four hours of play - I picked up 9 miles, had only 4 ring bonuses - only one of which came from a power spin (I had a number ring power spins). Of the ring bonuses that I did get, the only one that paid anything was a fireworks bonus that gave me a trophy. The best single win was a power spin -random reels wild for 5000. The random wilds - Legola's arrows and the dragon were few an far between. I ended down abotu 60.00.

At Delta Downs (in Vinton,LA) they replaced 2 LOTR with 2 TT - both were 5c machines. During the time I was there no one went near them

My personal preference at this point is LOTR

I finally just saw someone on the WinStream winning TT trophies at Showboat Atlantic City!

Hi g4b:

re: All of these new Two Towers machines are pre-set to begin the player at mile 75.

Interesting ... so ... a player with less than 75 miles will presumably be set to 75 miles when they play.

Hi theoldprof:

Thanks for providing the updates from your area. I recently visited the MGM Grand, where getting close to a LORD OF THE RINGS machine was out of the question. I came back many times ... but all three machines were packed!

On a Friday night, the four machines at MOTOR CITY CASINO were constantly busy.

Sounds like the popularity of the game might be different in different regions.
