Just got back from a 2 dayer at the HR, and was excited to see them putting 2 Silver Strike slots back into action. There appeared to be 3 different new strikes (there could be more, I couldn't determine), one was a Love Jones lingerie (store logo one side, other side not shown?!?!?). Another stike featured the poolside Beach Club, and I'm sorry but I couldn't really see the third strike. Annoyingly, the cage refused to sell them ("You have to play the machine to win them"), and wouldn't even produce them for me to look at. Likewise, the cage refused to sell me the Peacock Lounge $25 RFID chips. Up in the Peacock Lounge, again another refusal to sell me chips - but they told me if I played, they wouldn't stop me from taking what I bought... One hand later, I walked with one $25 chip - sorry, no traders...

The consensus amoung HR pit bosses seems to be that it is only a matter of time until the RFID chip system is applied to all of the BlackJack tables - which means the current (smaller sized)HR chips may be a thing of the past. They have already enhanced the main floor BlackJack tables with a computerized player tracking touchscreen monitor at each table. Every player is entered, even if the player remains anonymous - if you realize an hour later that you forgot to give them your players card, they plug your ID information in, and already have accurate tracking from before... These looked like the same monitors in the Peacock Lounge (used in conjunction with the RFID chips).

ROCK ON!
