I'm here to talk about the slot system and the slot machines we've added to our gaming floor. Back in October of 2016 we started moving machines around on the floor.
We had 820 slot machines on the floor at that time. Our goal is to move up to 900 machines. I don't think I can even begin to guess the number of slot moves that have taken place in the last 6-8 months... since we started repopulating the gaming floor. I know the EG group could put that number together but it's pretty much been a daily routine for us... to be adding power, to be adding com lines with the IT team play here. During that process in all we've run nearly 100,000 feet of wire. In the last year ya I've probably been here every hour of the day at some point in time during the process. You may not have seen us doing the work but behind the walls and working around the clock we've had to move the machines, run cable, run new power... all of the infrastructure it takes to bring these machines up. Part of running the wire we did in 2 days on the new section of the floor... We had to run 600 wires in two days and when you terminate those 600 wires that means we did 1200 terminations. During the 2 ticket system there was a high level of frustration with our guests, understandably so... because you couldn't take this ticket from this machine and put it into the machine next door maybe. Now we can officially announce regardless of the color of the ticket it will go into all of the machines and all of the ticket redemption machines. And a big thank you for standing by us and being here with us while we go through this. While we move from a two ticket system down to a one ticket system. As you can see when you come in you will be able to use any ticket on any machine, and with the ticket redemption machines also. You'll be able to put either the green ticket or the white ticket into those machines. We've got a little over a week to get ready for what we're kind of calling our soft opening. The weekend of May 4th and 5th, we've got a concert on May 4th with a local talent that you guys are all going to be excited to see. Our stage is in the final throes of getting completed... We are in the process of starting to populate the gaming floor in front of the Sports Bar for that weekend. Come out for our grand reopening May 11-13. We'll have lots of giveaways and exciting stuff going on. So come check out our new areas, our new slot machines, and our new system for downloading credits. We have some very exciting news for all of you. As of last Friday at 4:59 pm we have finally converted all of our ticket machines to accept any ticket. So there is no more frustration or confusion, just fun! To celebrate this milestone on our casino floor we are going to burn these green ticket machine signs because you can now insert any ticket into any machine on our floor and you will be good to game. Alright, let's set this thing on fire! Stay tuned in the next few days all of our green ticket signs will be coming down. and you can use any ticket on any machine at any time. We will see you on the gaming floor!
