Title: Where's the Barcrests??
Post by: scratchee35 on October 24, 2009, 01:52:51 AM
Maybe this isnt the right place for this rant but I just gotta let it out....Where did all the Barcrest Machines go??

in the last month...i have been to 3 casinos in Michigan, MGM, Motorcity, and Greektown.... 3 riverboats in Indiana, Hollywood *replaced the Argosy*, Grand Victoria and Belterra...and just yesterday, the 2 casinos in central Indiana, Indiana Live and Hoosier Park....there were 0 Barcrests in the Michigan casinos.....the 16 that were on the old Argosy *now Hollywood* riverboat are gone...0 Grand and Belterra...0 in Indiana Live, and 1 bank of 8 at Hoosier Park....

the Hoosier Park ones only had 2 top dollars, 1 1line 3coin, and 1 5line... the other 6 were the same type *Red Hotties, Triple Top Dollar, Anything But 6, and a couple others*

ive heard a few explanations of where all these machines have gone...have heard that they were paying to well, keeping people from playing other games....they were not popular enough, thus not making any money...

i along with many others love these machines...in fact,  I currently own 5, both S+ and S2000...had owned and sold 5 others

anyways...im pissed that they are gone....i was never able to just walk up to a bank of any of the types and find many empty...hard to believe that they were not popular...and as far as them making money...hell...they made plenty off of me!!!

can anyone tell me where these machines are?? id walk a mile to play a Barcrest!!!

thanks!!!

thats the way the old Argosy was....quarter machines on one side and 1.00's on the other..now all gone...they took alot of the other machines from one boat to the other but for some reason, didnt take the barcrests....irritating
