New Life Games Tech Forums

Well,  Me and my wife went to the casinos last weekend.  It was a good time as we only go 3-4 times a year.  This trip was not a lucrative one but then again it was.  we only played highr denom. games $5 and above.  I started on a top dollar.  200.00 in and hit 600.00 -triple bar -double diam-triple bar.  well this went on all thru the night.  I hit the red hottie for 600.00 as well, the whl of fort. hit the 1000.00 on it etc.  As my stubs/tickets collected my wife took them from my pocket to play the 25.00 slots and won nothing----- :30- :30-.  LOST 1275.00 by the time it was said and done---- :8-.  Oh well we did have fun doing it.  It usually works out better for (me) whoops us.  Thought I would share-B. - :5-

No mistaking who is boss in his family. :97-








Come to think about it, I think my family is the same. :37-

Ron,  You hit the nail with the hammer- No mistaking who the boss is here-(it simplifies my life- :97-).  We did have a great time in all.  No complaints- It's up to the party or individual to get up and walk out at any given time!!- :25- Thanks Barry.

It's like jay's avatar says "if you cant afford to lose you cant afford to win"  :72-

Well,  We Lost and had fun in the process.  The afford part part is a tough pill to swallow- :25-.  No problem though as we have hit them pretty hard in the last year.  No complaints again -Just 1275- :56---- :37- :8- :30- B.

Thor, which casinos are those in reply #9?

nice pics :3- :3-    can i get a copy of that :97-

Stat, that looks like the Rio. The inside pic looks like the ceiling track for the Mardi Gras show.

Thanks!  :131-  I couldn't quite place that stuff on the ceiling --  -- so I had the maintenance guys do it! :5-

Hello!

I thought the top one was the Tropicana and the bottom one (the inside pic) is New York New York....

Dan #2

The outside one says 'Tropicana' in blue neon on the building, you can see it under the street lamp. I think the Polo towers are to the left of it.

I would guess as the NYNY for the inside shot too if we are having a sweepstake  :-)

Me and my better half agree that the bottom picture in #9 is indeed the newly remodeled and de-themed NYNY interior.

...and that's the first time we've ever agreed on anything.  But seriously folks...

The casino to the left of the Tropicana is Hooters (formerly the San Remo).  Polo Towers are further north of where that shot was taken.

Also, along the same note as one of the previous replies, I give you Paris Las Vegas:

Hey, Kevin if thats an inside NYNY pic, do they still have the banks of original 550's and Gamemakers on the floor?

 Dan (tacman)

That's a giant monitor

thanks,
Wayne

Yes, that's a huge monitor...but they're displaying the computer crashing?... :97-

That's nothing I haven't seen before.

It's a great moment to have captured!

A New Life Games page would look great up there.. :31-

   Copy of what?  :103-

   Actually I have quite a few more but most show all the construction going on at the time or have people I was with in them,  but yes my originals are a much higher resolution than shown here  :89-

I've seen the BSOD's (Blue Screen of Death) on the signs at the entrance of the MGM grand when you go in through the sky bridges.  I even have pictures somewhere in one of my backup CD's of the PC's Post screen, I remember they were some generic mainboard bios (not even a name brand like Dell, HP or compaq).  Interesting that with that setup costing tens of thousands, they would buy cheap motherboards to run them?  I'd be using server class hardware on it.  This was in the late 90's early 2000's so they were using Windows 2000 as the OS.

I highly doubt it.  I don't think there are any GameMaker's on the strip.  I saw a few downtown, none converted to TITO though.  I saw a TON of them at the Pioneer in Laughlin, though.

Wow, when I was there in January, they had about 20-25 standard WMS 550's and about 10 Gamemakers on the floor. Guess they cleaned house and upgraded.  :97-
