Another Extra e-mail Free Play Day at the Palms

Any suggestions? Is some sort of minimum monthly play required
here to stay on a regular mailing list?

Don't know about visitors, but for locals you need
to play a lot on negative machines. There is some
feedback on the Palm's data base page.

the "advantage" of playing lots of neg. expectation vp, in order to
receive a "partial refund" of what you lose (in the form of skimpy
CB,IF the Palms even gives CB?) or "free-play" on more Neg. ev
machines, or comps to be used in a casino, where you are required to
play neg. ev games in order to be a valued player. I suppose, that
if you play neg. ev vp as BD reports that he does, on high denom.
machines, in casinos who bestow enough CB to make the play positive,
that it might make some sense. But for the lower denom. players
(and it would seem that most us of play lower denom. than BD) who
have little chance of getting enough CB to bring the game into
the "positive" range, it would seem to be a rather poor deal. Please
advise me, if you can, as to the advantage of patronizing casinos
who enforce these restrictive rules.

Thanks for your input.

At Palms, and many other LV casinos, EV/hour can be
a lot greater playing a negative game and getting BBC
than playing a positive game and not getting as much
(any) BBC.

->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Thanks Tom,

That certainly answers my question. I had no idea that The Palms
gave that much CB. When I stayed there a few times, the year they
opened, there was no CB. Perhaps because I am from out of town and
also played positive ev games such as FPDW, FPJW, LD, & 10/6DDB, I
was not eligible for CB.

I did get my room comped for 4 nights, however, and I was satisfied
with that. I also understand from others, that I was lucky to get my
room comped at my level of play ($8000-$10,000 day).

Anyway, thanks for your response.

You don't get CB at Palms, except at a reduced rate in the
high-limit room. I referenced BBC, which may only be available
to locals.
