I seem to recall this happening to me too at Boyd. I forget exactly what it was, but maybe one of their holiday multiplier days but my points at the kiosk were much higher than they should have been. When I put my card in a machine they showed the correct value the entire time though. A day or two later at the kiosk my points were normal again. I never thought to complain to anyone about it, nor would I.
I guess the situation I'm describing is more complicated. For example, a machine will say something like this:
100 countdown to go
0 points currently earned
Then you play $2.50 worth and it will say
50 countdown to go
2 points currently earned
What if you found a machine that was not set to 50 countdown so initially it says
50 countdown to go
0 points currently earned
And then after you play $2.50 worth, it says
50 countdown to go
5 points currently earned
Would you have an argument with the casino/NGC if you played the latter machine (and the casino later cut your points in half) because it clearly says from the beginning how much it takes to get a point?

That reminds me of when the Tuscany was giving 16x points. It might
have been when they switched from 10x points to 7x points. They took
back 9x of the 16x. It was done electronically. I don't know what
the Gaming Commission would have done if anyone had challenged it.
