On April 21st the Audi drawing at Silverton was a shocker.
The guy who won the car only had 5 FREE entries. He was just going to the Aloha Festival and got his 5 free entires they give anyone who asks, and got picked first for Car. Players I know were playing every day, getting the max. 50 per day, said NOT FAIR. Casinos are nuts to limit entries, and even worse give out free ones to non gamblers.
I tried really hard at the Palms, but no luck in that drawing all month. There are probably about 50-60 hard core players, who put on a lot of points for entries, and they take turns getting picked. 10 winners is not enough!

I popped in 20 minutes before the drawing, earned enough points for 2 tickets, and had my named pulled... I literally ticked off the entire establishment..
