Sounds like you're being hustled. All card readers are notoriously unreliable, but a reasonable casino (maybe 50% are reasonable) will manually fix database errors that are pointed out to them, call gaming enforcement if the casino won't resolve the issue of stolen comp:

http://gaming.nv.gov/index.aspx?page=253

Casinos might treat customers like the soup nazi (NO SOUP FOR YOU ONE YEAR!), but usually they have some respect for a gaming enforcement officer, probably because they are armed and throw around big legal phrases like "we might have to temporarily suspend your license" and "this looks like false arrest". Of course sometimes enforcement is just a whitewash and you have to bring in the big guns, like:

[vpFREE] cache creek

 

My wife and I recently visited the Cache Creek casino north of San Francisco.

What a great experience. One of the nicest casinos we have ever been in. Employees were customer-service conscious. For the most part food was good. Was not smokey at all. Overall great experience.

Can't tell you much about paytables. Ultimate X which we played was 9-6 in nickels, dimes and quarters. They had 50 cents and dollar in high rent district but did not venture there.

They had plenty of help and were prompt on hand pays. They were right there when the lights began blinking.

Only drawback on handpays was they started at $500. Asked why and they said it was because of a promotion on our bank of machines that included 5 times for a sequential royal and 10 times for a dealt sequential. They also needed 3 people to pay off a handpay instead of the normal 2.

Signing up for slot club included $25 for any restaurant, of which there are a half dozen.

One criticism: Stay away from the buffet. Wasn't good.

Plus they several casinos are on the selling block you have to boast the numbers to get any price. But I still think the best thing is for one or three to fold so the rest can make sustained good offers and not the stunt of the day.

They have to compete in the AC/PHL marketplace or leave. Empty or near empty casinos are a lot more expensive than giving gamblers freeplay or loss rebates.

It's a Thursday not a weekend or a holiday like other bonus days that were invitee only. The other casinos are doing things they have to respond. The ACH Thursday free play drawing is doing well maybe they want to grab some of those folks.

Thank you for the clarification and example. I have to say that I am surprised with the "additional $105.40 in additional comps". It seems to be such an "un-Harrah's-like" action.
