The 4 LV Boyd properties do not always march together – lot of differences in how they market and how they treat various groups of players or individual players.

Subject: [vpFREE] Re: Comp Cutbacks from Boyd properties for "smart" and/or "winning" player??
Don't have first hand experience for these properties from which to comment, but am willing to speculate.
First, I played Sam's Town in Tunica with a consistent run of good luck and never saw my offers adversely impacted. Still, that experience is dated by almost 2 years, so may not be applicable.
But, frankly, if Boyd were to take adverse action based upon you win/loss experience, I certainly would expect it to be applied across the board. Instead, I'd simply assume that the DDB progressive you played has a thin rating. Consequently, while you coin-in may have been strong, the rating may be much weaker than you typically establish ... thus the selective downgrade in offers.
Mere speculation; but I'd put a certain amount of confidence in it.

Got back from a week in Las Vegas--stayed at and played at mostly 4 Boyd properties--SunCoast, Gold Coast, Orleans and Sam's Town. Even though I went there mainly to see Fleetwood Mac, and gambling was secondary, I came back a small winner, thanks to advice from this group. Mostly played 99.5% or better machines at the first three properties, and, despite my better judgment, the DDB $0.25 progressive machine at Sam's Town. Again, despite my intentions, wound up doing more gambling in total than I did on last several trips combined--rolled up 30-odd thousand points, and, beating the short term odds, hit a $1,500 Royal at Sam's Town. So going through multiple thousands of dollars at each property (getting bonus multipliers on Seniors Days helped out--cashed out $170 off my points--every little bit counts), I got home ahead of the game, waiting for my offers to change. And boy did they--3 out of 4 stayed the same out into August and September, and Sam's Town's went from 3 free days (any day) to 3 free days (Sun-Thurs).
