they seem confused on the concept.
a while ago i talked to a guy who showed up and played for a while on
10/10/10, and was tapped on the shoulder and told to stop playing for
the rest of the day. no explanation, but he complied and left. he'd
played regularly on non-multiplier days, sometimes played other games
besides VP (including occasional penny slots with his wife), and
expected to continue doing so.
he called a couple of days later to ask about a dinner comp, and the
players club told him that he'd been 86'd, and would be trespassing
and subject to arrest if he showed up anywhere on the property. news
to him! good thing he happened to call instead of showing up!

you're suing. good luck with your case, and keep us posted.
