It is still around at a small number of places - in Nevada you find them at the California, Fremont, Frontier (which has new cards coming out - don't know if they will be magnetic), Nevada Palace, Ramada Express, San Remo, Stardust, and Westward Ho. Not a lot when you consider there must be about a hundred places that use cards out there. Here in the midwest, the St. Croix Casino in Turtle Lake WI switched to a magnetic system this summer, and the Grand Victoria riverboat in Elgin, IL has announced it will be switching over this month, so players have been advised they will have to use the two different types of cards until all the machines are switched over. And that is the hangup for the casinos. To change from punch-card to magnetic cards, they have to change the reader boxes on every single one of their slot machines -- no small task for the big places. When the Oneida Casino in Green Bay, WI switched over a year or two ago, they intrduced a card which had a magnetic strip and the punch holes. While these were in play, they gradually replaced all the card readers on the machines, and now that that is done they have started putting out the same cards, but without the holes puched in them anymore. So the punch card versions will be getting less and less play out there, but who knows when the last casino will give up on it.
