Makes a lot of sense especially since a lot of card clubs these days have such meager benefits. You see more and more gamblers refusing to play with slot cards and refusing tracking at table games. It's funny sometimes when you see some casino employee going around offering to get players slot cards and you see the reactions of the players against even the mention of "slot card". I've seen players just cash out and walk out which makes the nice casino employee, generally a nicely dressed young lady, look like some sort of escort or drug dealer or panhandler or something. More and more players don't like being treated like criminals if they should happen to win something in a casino.
