That's usually the case, but these machines ding on there own without putting money in. I think.
I'm in AC by the way.

Where are you Vegas or AC? I would tune it at 7:00 or 8:00am, not too much action then.

Hi folks,
One of my casino accounts just put a Yamaha gc-1 in a lounge just off the casino floor this week.
It's right next to a bank of slots that is creating a c-6 ding ding ding ding non stop.

I've dealt with this stuff for years , but this is an impossible situation. So impossible ,that I went out and got some noise canceling headphones (Radio Shack) with a little battery operated pickup . Worked fairly well , but has a bit of a learning curve as to where to place the pickup. It still picks up the slots to some extent, and makes the piano sound kind of like a cp-80, but at least I can hear more than I was before. 

Cost about $110 but it's a $20k a yr contract.
