You've been no-mailed for a large Royal win? I understand why you would never give Stations any more of your play making you unable to research this for yourself. I wish I could help you out but I am personally boycotting them for the above reason.

Okay, I am now clear about the basic change in the Stations program. It is now $1 coin-in=1 point but there is always 3x points – to keep it the same value as before. (This is what I wrote about in my last blog. http://jscott.lvablog.com/?p=3460)
The math that the status credits have had for VP since the last change did NOT change. Since 2011 it has been $1 coin-in = 1 status credit. (This is why there was so much complaint at that change! This downgraded comps big time.)
However, here is the issue that I am not clear on since I am no-mailed at Stations (thanks to a top-line royal on $1 Multi-strike) and I can't find out more information personally. Does this change affect many – most? – promotions that are based on "base" points. It would seem that in the new system $1 coin-in gets you 1 BASE point instead of the old 3 BASE points. Usually – always? – promotions exclude multipliers so it would seem that it would take 3 times the amount of play for promotions as it used to.
But what I need is PERSONAL experiences – not opinion here – or what MIGHT be. It might be too early for definitive conclusions. But if you get/see a promotional offer and it says that it is based on $1=1 point and you have a way to compare it with past promotions, then it would be nice for you to share it here. I don't immediately assume a casino is downgrading until I see proof. Maybe they will adjust their promotional offers to compensate for this new "base" number. Maybe they will offer some promotions that use the 3x all-the-time multiplier? (Okay – maybe I am a dreamer!!!! ) Whatever the situation, I need FACTS and personal experiences so my writing will be accurate!!!!! Can any of you help me!!!!
I also do not take what one employee says as gospel since so many of them do not get up-to-date information or they don't understand it. I usually want confirmation from more than one source. This is why this forum is a good way to confirm information in spite of the problem that some members sometimes seem to confuse facts with speculation.

The term "dishonesty" merely reflects the ambiguous nature of the relationship. An executive host told me that what casinos provide is strictly entertainment. And that includes the gambling component. I would suggest that most vpFREE gamblers don't look at it that way. There is nothing entertaining about playing a full-pay game, losing thousands, and then finding out that the extreme amount of coin-in per point earned barely qualifies for a coffee shop sandwich. So, players try to even the playing field. If you consider that process as dishonest, then don't do it. But dishonesty implies an initial state of fairness. And casinos, now more than ever, want you to lose as much as possible while they offer as little as possible. That might be great from a business point of view. But to me, there's nothing "fair" about that at all.
