About the new machines...at Norcal in August at Casear's Lake Tahoe, we were playing the new machines, which are ordinary looking and not very exciting. At every pay the machine would jam, even though it was paying quite well. Eventually, the floor person said well I might as well stand right here behind you as you are not going away and I have to keep coming back to open the machine. We took 23 Hot August Nights from that machine, but all were handed to us by the floor person as the machine just did not work. The same thing was happening to their other new machine...Peter
