For all of you who collect cashout tickets:

I finally went to the Argosy for the first time since they got their tickets and found that they have most of they low denom slots converted to tickets.

Isle of Capri converted many of their penny & nickel machines to tokenless and has grouped them together in one corner of their casino. They have a number of other machines scattered around that are ticket-capable, but not activated yet.

At Ameristar, the current ticket backs are colored slightly lighter than the original batch, but look exactly the same otherwise. If you look at the scan, the new one is on the right.

At Harrah's, I found ticket-capable machines in a corner of the casino and was told by an employee that they hope to activate them August 4. I will probably go out there on August 11 before or after the Mid-America chapter meeting at 7pm in the Ameristar that evening. Any Harrah's collectors who want any should do some Jilling or Feaveling before then with quantitites desired.

I'm short on the new tickets from Ameristar, but have plenty of Isle of Capri and Argosy available for trade. Please email if you are interested.
