This is bad news. Got an email that read:

"Don't forget to build up your credits before the end of the year. Our
itroductory rollover rewards program will no longer be offered after Dec.
31, 2012. "

First off, I didn't know they ever referred to it as "introductory" before.
Second, I wish they would have given more than 3.5 days notice to "build up
your credits". I would have played a lot more during the Holiday bonus gift
days Dec8-22 had I known this. sigh.

Oh you're right. Wrong article! But we drove through there last week and it was closed then.

Without intending to embarrass anyone, it would be interesting to see the top 3 or 5 vote-getters, even without the actual numbers of votes or percentages, similar to the BB Hall of Fame summaries. Just a thought, since people were at least interested enough to take the time to vote.

That was a year ago as the article indicates and I couldn't find any other info to indicate it has closed again.

No.

Re: [vpFREE] Ellis Island

 



I am also the 6 x $25/month. I was doubting my play level although if I'm not sure, I end up putting over
that average. However, my food comps @ $12/2 days were discontinued and replaced by some other $4
level. I could care less about that but am most interested in the reduction of the $25's.

The last 2 visits I played at the bank very near the club where the paytables had been re-instated. The Young Turks were marathoning the $2 NSUD option; I figure those re-instated paytables will soon be
history.

our mailer like in the past.

I think their Web site used to show their tiers, but I didn't see it
just now. Did you get one free meal in the barbecue or the restaurant
every two days

Re: [vpFREE] Re: New 'Young at Heart' rules

 


Even us "old folks" can figure out that the best drawing to be sure to be at is the Final Drawing (last Tuesday of each month)since any unclaimed "old folks" forfeited weekly winnings will be rolled over into that one. And, since us "old folks" don't have much to do, and are known for our patience, we probably actually DO read all the way through to bullet points numbered even as high as #16.

You'll excuse me now, because I have to wipe the drool off my chin and eat my pablum before it gets cold ;-)

Oh, the silly things we do in that dead week between Christmas and New Year's, when not much else is going on.
