I don’t for sure about those particular games, but I think after a bit of time the “craze” for some favorite games wears off, and they replace them with new ones. I know I used to love playing the multi poker games 3 play or 5 play. I can hardly ever find those in .25, .50, or 1.00 anymore(in Mississippi casinos)I think they send the older games out to other smaller casinos, like some small Indian casinos and such.
not all slot machine themes prove to be successful enough for the casino to keep them. many get discontinued in favor of newer and/or more profitable designs.
what you might try and do is contact the slot license manufacturers and see if and where the games you want still exist, or call the casino(s) that you play at and ask the floor manager if he/she happens to know offhand.
