A Sigma Derby thread from 2005
Another Sigma Derby thread from 2005. Ah, the good old days.
For your viewing pleasure “Burt Cohen” from AVLV has posted some pictures of the New Frontier’s Sigma Derby game in action.
There is a free but not-so-much-like-a Sigma Derby game online.
If you need to fix your Sigma Derby jonez and can’t make it to the real one this may be as good as it gets. If anyone has a better free game let me know by posting the info in the comments.
Direct link to the Derby Days game. This link opens a flash version of the game at Casino Tropez.
One of only two remaining Sigma Derby games in Las Vegas may be in jeopordy as the New Frontier Casino has been sold. Looks like the MGM Sigma Derby game will soon be the only one left in Las Vegas. Read the article here in the Las Vegas Review Journal.
The article states there isn’t much time left for the New Frontier.
“Ruffin and gaming sources familiar with the deal said El Ad will close the aging Western-themed hotel-casino when the transaction is completed in 90 days“
Looks like the The Slatin Report www.theslatinreport.com got the news of the sale of the New Frontier correct on March 19 despite denials by Ruffin and El Ad.
Yikes! We fans of the mechanical ponies are running out of Sigma Derby’s. Could we be so lucky as to have another Las Vegas Strip casino take over this Sigma Derby Game. What about upstairs in the Imperial Palace were the poker room was? Hey Riviera Casino, how about it – ya need a Sigma Derby? Probably available on the cheap.
The sale of the New Frontier is a no go so for now that Sigma Derby is safe
