Is anyone having a problem posting messages here? I tried for 5 min. to post my previous one and it wouldn't submit. I 'copied' the message and backed out then came in again and it worked this time, but it still showing '0 minutes ago' as the posting time even when I refesh.

Hi wardobaggins:

A lot of the installs have started with the Harrah's properties in Nevada ... and seem to radiate out from that location. I'll see what I can find out for upcoming installs!

Glad you found this place! While I'm not positive, attaining the RINGS should not be an easy task. There should be a sense of accomplishment.

Sounds like the same is providing entertainment, and some wins -- which is all a slot player can ask for!

Hope you will consider becoming a regular poster.

Hi Lone Dove:

You will notice under "Slot Stories" that GOLDFISH II is till on my top 10 list. There is plenty of fun in that game -- great soundtrack too! A more than worthy successor to the original. You might want to watch out for RACE FOR TEH GOLD ... starring the goldfish. It is out now in many locations!

Great hit! Thanks for sharing that with us.

I played Lord of the Rings at South Point Casino in Las Vegas last week. The casino recently had a room expansion and installed some awesome slots (Lord of the Rings, and Monopoly Bigger Event to name a couple). The max bet on Lord of the Rings is $2.40 (which I played). I walked away cashing out with about $250 in winnings. It took me a while to get a seat (there's only 4 of the Lord of the Rings), but I LOVED it! There's no other slot that I've played that gives the same experience. Wizard of Oz Glinda the Good Witch is a bit similar. Also, I enjoyed playing Monopoly Bigger Event as well. I may go again this week and try to get some snap shots/video of Lord of the Rings and hopefully win big again! Wish me luck!!!

Hi PaulieC:

Pictures? Video! Yes, and yes, pleeeease!

Everyone loves LOTR video. Also, its great news to WMS that the machines are constantly in use -- not as good for players, who need to plan their time strategically!

I just got back from Harrah's Rincon near San Diego, California.

They just installed them last week according to my casino host, so most people didn't know about them and were playing for the first time.

They put them in where the Happy Days machines used to be (which is exactly where I thought they'd put them, since the Happy Days slots are awful).

I finally got all six pieces of Isildur's Sword. I think it was off of a power spin, so I was only using a 1x multiplier. It gave me a completion bonus of $30.00. The sword forms over some purple circle and then the game announces your bonus.

The best time to get on a machine during the weekend was about 4-7 a.m.

Again I experienced "Sync" falure at the Bolrock bonus. This happened again and on two different machines. There needs to be a "patch" to get people through this bonus. I would welcome any other comments on this.

"ONLY" GAME I PLAY NOW--MOHEGAN SUN--CAN NEVER GET A SEAT UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT--GO AFTER MIDNIGHT OR EARLY MORNING--ONLY 8 MACHINES--WIZARD OF OZ IS POPULAR BUT THIS GAME IS TOPS----DON'T KNOW ABOUT FOXWOODS--HOPEFULLY MOHEGAN WILL ADD MANY MORE MACHINES--BEING ABLE TO ADD MILES ONLINE AND "RANDOM BONUSES DURING THE GAME" ARE AWESOME--NO MORE FAR LEFT TO RIGHT REELS ONLY BONUSES--DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT FOXWOODS HAVING "LORD OF THE RINGS?" THANK!!!!!
