Poker Poker Poker!: RE: [vpFREE] 4 Queens

I have had a good experience with the 4 Queens and as a result I try to give them the largest portion of my gambling. If I hit early, I make a point of playing my average time and coin-in.

Another possibility, of course, is that the casino's valuation of your play has changed. This might not be, and probably is not, directed specifically at you.

If a casino reevaluates their "theo" the same amount of play is proportionately less valuable, hence worth fewer or lesser comps. In a glaring example, a few years ago, Mohegan Sun reduced its theo by 70%, so a $1000 daily player became a $300 player. Obviously comps and bennies plummeted as a result, tier levels changed. Unfortunately what followed was still worse, as all of the best VP machines were either eliminated or excluded from earning ANY club points whatsoever.

I'm not familiar with the 4 Queens, and wouldn't presume to speculate any further. But it would be interesting to know if other players have suffered the same fate.

The problem is possibly that your play hasn't changed. If you haven't had a raise in 10 years I'd be surprised. The casinos are looking for a raise. I've noticed that some of my offers have been reduced over the past year. I'm raising my play in the hope that my offers will go back to their previous levels.

It seems to me that it is just normal price increases, the same as gas or anything else.

We have been going to 4 Queens for 10 years. Our latest offer doesn't offer any free rooms unless we buy 1 night first. This is the first time this has happened.

Our play has not changed.

Can't understand why they are treating loyal players like this. We have lots of offers from other casinos, so guess we won't be staying there anymore.
