Did I miss postings on the jamboree weekend at Casino Windsor? Anyone want to
weigh in and share with the rest of us their experiences? I had asked in
advance if someone could check into how to get a reduced/casino rate on a room
while some of you were on the property. Maybe with a new player's card? Host?
Any help?

Sorry, I didn't have time to check this out - the little spare time I had was spent hitting on $1 Pick'Em!!!! By the way, these Bally games are scheduled to be abolished soon when they go to TITO and the system they are using isn't compatible with Bally machines.
But I think you could try finding the answer by calling a host.

Guys,
I originally booked a room about two months in advance at Windsor
Casino for the Jamboree. At that time a host told me that he would
look at my play after the event and maybe comp my room for the two
nights if I played enough. I went there once in April alone and
played dollar Pick'Em for several hours just so I could show some
play at their place before the seminar.
When we got there, Dolores and I played mostly dollar
and two dollar Pick'Em a lot on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On
Saturday, I asked a host if he could maybe pick up our dinner at the
Riverside Grill. (their up-scale restaurant) He said that he could
give me $120.
"Great! Thanks a lot!" I said. I thought to myself, "Isn't this is
a great place Pappy?" And old VP Pappy said in reply:
"If the casino is the fisherman, and comps are the bait, guess
who the fish are?
--VP Pappy
We ran into Jean and Brad before dinner playing dollar Pick'Em
(Jean had her feet up on both sides of the machine as if she was on
a horse and buggy and guiding the horse. Giddee up old Pick'em!!
Yeehaw!!) and I ask them if they wanted to go to dinner with us.
But, we had a late reservation and they were beat from getting in so
late the night before and they declined. So, we had a great "free"
expensive dinner that night.

Sunday morning, before the Jamboree started again, I went to see
my friendly host (never the same guy or girl) and ask him if he
would look at my play (Dolores and I played on the same card during
our stay) to see if he could maybe give us a break on our room fees.
He said he could comp us one night, which was fine with us. I said,
once again, "Thanks a lot, I appreciate it."
After the Jamboree and having checked out of our rooms earlier,
I decided to check out my cash back points by using one of their
kiosks. To my amazement, I found out that not only didn't I have
any cash back points left, but I also didn't have any food comps
either. It guess, unless I missed something, I paid for my food and
room directly out of what I had earned by gambling in their place.
That sure was an easy comp for my very friendly host. And to think,
I thanked him profusely each time.
"The host system is often difficult to use, since details about
how it works are not readily available to the public. It's a system
that punishes the shy players and rewards the aggressive ones."
--Jean Scott
This is no longer the kind of place I would want to spend a lot
of time gambling in what with their lousy video poker and lousy
comps. I don't think I will be coming back here very soon.
