Re: [vpFREE] Re: Bob Dancer's LV Advisor Column - 10 JUL 2012

 

It will be a sad day for video poker players if casinos allow the use of electronic devices in the casino to assist players. The only possible outcome will be the downgrade of the few playable opportunities that remain.

Copies of the Palms drawing rules are available against the wall in the hall to the right of the slot club. But there will probably be many more entries than normal this weekend because of the gift card play-earn-and-win.

The only thing you need to be aware of is that you must play all credits downloaded on a machine and they cannot be cashed. I usually just download $5 at a time in case I want to change machines. Also you cannot play the promo credits on a progressive jackpot machine at Trop.

Have you? Until that law is used to arrest somebody and it goes through the courts, it's impossible to know what that law really means. For a law to be meaningful it needs to be enforced. Bob

Very good. Hope this is just a two month hicup. I enjoy dining at the Outback at CR on comps. As the song goes, "See you in September."

Re: [vpFREE] Re: Casino Royale Eliminates Free Play

 

That's great if your in Vegas then but I won't be. Why eliminate free
play? What does it have to do with a room shortage? The booth supervisor I
talked to said it was the first time that free play had been eliminated and
she has been there a long time. Why piss off your loyal customers in this
manner?

Free rooms and freeplay were eliminated for Jul and Aug. They will be back in
Sept.

Marketing must have a reason for the move. I don't agree with it, but it
is what it is. I'll use comps in July during a trip and play again in Sept
when free play returns.

Used it a few months ago and had no problem. Took them a min. or two to verify the printout was valid and the credits were loaded.

Has anyone used the credit card offer listed on the ACG site where you pay $25 to get $40 in free play? If so, did it work without a hassle at the Club Palms?

Any information would be appreciated.

Re: [vpFREE] Casino Royale Eliminates Free Play

 

Guess that explains why I have not received July, August, September, free night coupons. CR has been a good place to get a free night room on the strip for years and years. Guess it is all gone now. Thanks for the memories CR.  As the Beatles would say "Yesterday came suddenly."

Subject: [vpFREE] Casino Royale Eliminates Free Play

 
Just got back from a three week trip and stopped as I always do in June at
Casino Royale for the monthly coupons. Received my $50 Free Play along
with the worthless penny slot coupons. A year or two ago Casino Royale
eliminated the monthly video poker coupons (bonuses for certain 4 of a kinds)
and replaced them with coupons good for jackpots on penny slots. Played my
normal play on the 5 play video poker.

I stopped back this past Saturday a few days before I was to leave for home
to pick up my July coupons and free play. The boothling went through the
normal procedures and then handed me my coupon sheet stating "take this to
the promotional machines." I told her I get Free Play and not play on the
promotional machines and she said that is all they are offering this
month. The coupon sheet had the other usual worthless crap on it, free luggage
tag, penny slot coupons, etc. I ripped up the sheet right in front of her
and left. I came back a few minutes later and talked to the boothling
supervisor who told me that it was Casino Manager Becky Bracken's decision to
eliminate Free Play this month and gave some excuse about not having enough
rooms to offer???? Does that make any sense to anyone? I don't stay
there just stop in and play on each trip and usually try to use some of my
hundreds of dollars of built up comps for a meal at the Outback Steakhouse.

I tried calling the Executive Manager of the entire casino, Juan Garcia,
and spoke to his secretary who assured me that I would be contacted back
before I left. No one ever called. I tried calling a second time but got the
same response.

I will be back at Casino Royale on my future trips to use of my comps. and
if offered, play any free play one time through and cash out. Once my
comps are used up I won't set foot in the place again.

Betsy Bracken has to be one of the dumbest casino managers around.
