Yes, your explanation is very clear at least to me.
I believe the confusion started when we were originally told that the
base + bonus could not exceed 40k. In that case with a 3x multiplier,
you could only play 13,333 points to get them all multiplied. 13,333
base + 26,667 bonus = 40,000. Luckily I got a 3x multiplier and proved
this wrong.

Do I finally have this right – and, if so, does this make things at
least half-way clear???
------------------------------
The "mystery multiplier" promotion which the Palms runs off and on has
caused some confusion because of the "40K maximum bonus" rule. If it
is a "mystery multiplier" day, you will swipe and get your mystery
multiplier which, if you plan to use on slots, can be up to 15x and
there is no bonus limit.
The problem comes if you plan to play video poker. First, you will
only get a 2x or 3x multiplier (nothing higher) and there is a 40k
maximum bonus. It is easiest to understand this if you distinguish
between "base" points and "bonus points." First, you earn "base"
points that accumulate as you play - $1 coin-in earns one point. Then
later the casino will add your bonus points, but that bonus can never
be more than 40K.
Here are some examples of possible scenarios:
You play 10K coin-in and have a 2x multiplier, the casino will add 10k
so you have a total of 20k (base+bonus= 2x)
You play 10K coin-in and have a 3x multiplier, the casino will add 20K
so you have a total of 30k (base+bonus=3x)
You play 20K and have a 2x, the casino will add 20k so you have a total of 40K.
You play 20K and have a 3x, the casino will add 40K so you have a total of 60K.
Now here is where it gets complicated:
You play 30k and have a 2x, the casino will add 30k for a total of 60K
You play 30k and have a 3x, the casino will add only 40K(maximum
bonus) for a total of 70K
You play 40k, it doesn't matter if you have a 2x or 3x; you will get
added only the maximum bonus of 40K for a total of 80K.
