    But as of this morning, all the machines at the downstairs bars were turned off. Don't know about the Chicago Brew Pub.

    Chicago Brew Pub also has all machines down. You can sit at the tables and order food and beverage.

    Does that include Mikes Bar which is not serving drinks?

    Not surprising, but a bummer. Let's hope this stricter measure helps.

    I just read the governor's report. Looks like all bar machines will be turned off. People come to Vegas and think the mask rule dosent apply to them. Now every state is spiking. Now we all pay the price for their ignorance. They are going to reevaluate July 24. Hopefully it will be better.

    Thanks for the info. That means the most loose VP at Four Queens are inaccessible. Sob.

    10/7 DB (100.17%) on the floor. But that only gets half points...

    Yeah, it's not the best choice to take advantage of their promotion, but there aren't a lot of playable machines left.

    Yup, have been playing them since before they became half point machines. Flushed my $375 in free play down them tonight. Lol. Jokers didn't give me one four of a kind. Will chase the FQ/Binions promotions the next few days.

    JOB is the best option but it can be a grind. I plan to switch back to that tomorrow and play the BP at Binions. Man it feels like a funeral parlor near the Binions delis where those machines are. Not a lot of activity.

    Lack of activity included me never seeing a cocktail waitress when I was at those machines near the deli at Binions

    I don't think you can say it's all because visitors aren't wearing masks because you can't factually prove that is the cause. It's easy to see there's more than one reason why this spike is happening but not everyone believes that. I guess it's ok to speculate if it's popular here so I'm sure my post won't last.

    May I assume you nursed your one drink for 90 minutes?

    Are those machines socially distanced or every other one turned off? I remembered that there were only three in a bank.

    Actually it was just a diet coke and was gone fairly quickly. I had my share of adult beverages later at whiskey licker and the D walkup bar.
