[QUOTE="Citizen, post: 273020, member: 6915"] I think part of the stigma against Premier tables, at least among TPA communities, also stems from the fact that many of the Premier additions they saddled us with were ones that few people were really asking for. LCA, Bone Busters, Victory and City of Gold probably being the biggest offenders. There are a handful of fans for each of those, but they're largely unpopular. Whereas Surf N' Safari has been the most requested non-licensed Premier for ages, not to mention Stargate and Freddy back when they still got licensed non-Stern tables, or the highly requested pre-Premier Gottlieb SS tables like Devil's Dare and Joker Poker. I'm not sure if the Gottlieb license holder got to tell FarSight which tables to add like Scientific Games supposedly did with WMS tables, or if FarSight was just adding what they could find cheap/borrow, but regardless of who was making the calls, or why, they just added too many duds and ignored fan requests and general table popularity too much. And that unfortunately soured people on Premiers. Just my theory anyway. [/QUOTE]
