Phil Ruffin Takes Over TI. Possible Return of a Sigma Derby to Mid-Strip?

March 20, 2009

On Friday former New Frontier owner Phil Ruffin will be the new owner of TI.

I am hoping, dreaming, wishing that Mr. Ruffin will install a Sigma Derby game at TI. I searched unsuccessfully for news about the old Sigma Derby games from the New Frontier. I don’t know if they were sold or if they were mothballed or just tossed out. I did read a rumor that the New Frontier had two machines, one for the casino floor and the other was for parts. I also read that Ruffin was going to use the Sigma Derby game in his planned racino in Kansas that was never approved favorably. Again those were only rumors and I can’t find any links to the articles or posts regarding those rumors. Regardless of the truth or fiction as to the whereabouts of the Sigma Derby games wouldn’t be great if the game appeared at  TI this weekend? I think so.
