Casinos that match another casino's free play offer

#1

I received a mailer from the Island View casino in Gulfport, MS that reads “bring in any valid cash or free slot play coupon from another MS, LA or AL casino to our player’s club and we’ll give you 2X that amount in FREE slot play - up to $500 total.” I have a free-play coupon from Harrah’s Gulf Coast (formerly the Grand) that you insert into the machine along with your players card to receive the free play.

My question is this - do casino’s typically confiscate the competing offer coupon on these types of offers or are you able to keep the coupon and still use it at the issuing casino? If you get to keep the coupon, I assume that you would then receive the equivalent of three times that amount between the two casinos. Not a bad deal if it is possible.

I’ve seen it done both ways. Local casino that was matching any other offer(notice I said matching - not multiplying) 1st started not taking the coupon, then started taking it , then later stopped the offer. Where you make out is those casinos where FP is automatically on your machine, but you still have a a mailer showing you that you get it. Either way, looks like you’re a winner by using it.

I’ve only used one of these “match” offers, and was never asked to turn in the original. They booked it based on an emailed copy.
