I was wondering if anyone can tell me which casinos they feel are the best to play slots. I love to play 10xs and 12xs machines in AC Caesars. I do very well on them. Also I use to love playing piggy bank machines, does anyone remember them. They are the ones that the little piggys with have to line up on the center line to go into the bonus rounds which spins and the bombs explode. I miss those machines since they were removed in AC. Does anyone know if they have them in Vegas and if so which Casino. I am looking for the 25. 50 or 1.00 ones. Please don't confuse them with the penny piggy bank they are not the same. I would love any advise on where to play, best food and best payout casinos. You can even privately email me. Thanks for the help. Tigrace507@aol.com

Hey there 'tigrace507'...HAPPY ANNIVERSARY (almost...)
Ya know, Slots are Slots...you can be just as lucky in Vegas as AC or
any other gaming property. I don't recall seeing your Piggy game, but my
Slot play is limited to the RIO (which is small compared to other places) yet
provides the entertainment value/points system that works for me.

Unlike Video Poker...in which case, most folks would suggest the smaller
local properties...you'll find plenty of Slot choices EVERYWHERE!
Where ever you are, what ever catches your eye and the casino feels FUN...
...sit down, put your card in and entertain yourself for a while...ya never know where you'll find that RIGHT MACHINE AT THE RIGHT TIME.
Knowing when to walk away in Vegas is soooo easy, cuz theres soooo many
other games you can try next...(or not)

I remember seeing the old piggy games as well as the stampede games at Excalibur in December. They have a newer version at the Mirage, TI and I believe also at the Monte Carlo. If I remember correctly, the new ones are multi denominations.
Good Luck!

If its the 25th anniversary, I would recommend the Barbary Coast. During the week the table minimums are low, the cocktails plentiful, and the Big Elvis show hilarious! The steakhouse, I think its called Michael's, has incredible food and the service is five star. The rooms have a sort of old-Victorian feel to them, combimned with state of the art tv and computer access, and the view of the Bellagio fountains from the bed are incredible. Or at least thats the way we saw it.
As for the slots, yes, I saw the pig there, but its been a while and they change out slots a lot. The best time, though, is the new Deal or No Deal machines. The bonus level has all the fun and excitement of the tv show, except, of course, for the leggy super-models. But it works the same! You pick a case, you open other cases, the banker makes you an offer, deal or no deal... Its great!
Stay away from the Palms Playboy Club and the Pussycat Lounge at Caesar's... no point in getting your spouse angry for wandering eyes.
CONGRATS ON YOUR 25TH!!!:cool:

Michael's at the Barbary Coast is closed.

The Big Bang Piggy Banking games were a lot of fun to play and one of my all-time favorites. I really loved the theme song that played when you got the bonus piggies. "It's The Piggy Banking Big Bang Game"

I haven't seen this version in over 2 years. I still see older versions of this game that do not have the bonus round in a few hotels but they are no where near the fun of the newer version.

There is also a very weird story connecting myself and this machine but that is something I will post in the next Topic Of The Week topic.

Steve, if you ever get to south Louisiana, they still have a few of those games here at our riverboats.

Steve yes those are the machines I loved them, AC had lots of them they were taken out. I did a check online and it shows Harrahs in AC and Rio in Vegas does still have them. I'm not sure though, well if anyone happens to bump into any of them please please email me direct at tigrace507@aol.com. They are so much fun and I miss them alot. I am a slingo ten times or 12 times girl. But I need my "its the piggy bank big bang game" fix.
