It's probably as random as a slot machine. In a slot machine what you end up with on a spin is as random as a computer can make it. That of course does not mean that all outcomes have an equal chance of showing up, there are many more non paying combinations than paying combinations.
The Boyd promotion can be set up as follows.
The computer program for this feature has let's say 1,000 individual multiplier numbers, and they consist of 700 3x multipliers 200 4x multipliers, 90 10x multipliers and 10 50x multipliers. You swipe your card and the system picks 6 symbols totally at random from the 1,000 in the table, you then pick one of the 6 symbols. Odds are kind of high that you will always get a 3x or a 4x, but you do have a shot at the 50x and some people will hit it.
The game is totally legitimate in this scenario and totally random. All slot machines work the same way. To expect better from a casino is not really a realistic expectation. For myself I'd rather just see them give everybody the same multiplier and get rid of the B.S., but my guess is that the majority of customers prefer the element of chance.
Regards
A.P.

The assumption that the point multipiers are randomly assigned is a very important issue here. The answer is in the game presented itself. The screen shows 6 boxes that you can select any one of, it certainly appears that which box you select matters and is a part of the game. If the choices are put into the boxes before you select then you would expect a 1 in 6 chance to get each choice. If what you get is pre determined then the game is a sham...the game is really a scratch off ticket and the entire pretext of your choice is meaningless. The fact is that the game appears as a game of chance, one you have invested time, energy, and money to come and play. It seems deciteful to me for it to be anything but a true game of chance. Of note, on thursday Suncoast has a similar promotion that everyone can qualify for and is advertised as up to 50x points just like YAH days. When you push the button for your multiplier you just are assigned that multiplier, no choosing boxes required. Why are the 2 promotions handled differently?
