7/14/24: Machines 1 and 3 haven't moved.
Machine 2 is gone. They remodeled the lobby and seemingly removed all penny machines from there. (Where did they say it went??? Maintanance, repair, updating, other???
Machine 4 is moved to Tom Foolery's arcade in the hallway towards the hotel. Between machines 1 and 3. Note, this one is a custom machine with a gorilla in it, so it looks more like a fortune teller machine.
Machine 5 is a new machine in Tom Foolery's arcade. It uses preloaded zincs. It's located just to the right after you come in the main arcade doors from outside. This one only takes the arcade cards, and each penny is 8 credits. You get 4 credits per dollar so each penny is 2 dollars but you also have to buy a card (if you don't have one) and the credits are sold in increments of $5. So in the end for all 4 pennies the best option is to buy 36 credits plus the card for $10.
1) Benny the Monkey 2) Lou the Lion 3) Kenya the Elephant 4) Kya the Elephant.
There's also a token machine in the hallway between Tom Foolery's and the hotel but we didn't check if it's the same tokens or not TEC#5658
