"In the Harrah's Total Rewards programme, you accumulate a "Base" point for every $10 coin in, but you are also given "Bonus" points according to some unexplained criteria. In general, the Bonus points depend on the game, how long you play it, and at what level. Sometimes, the Bonus points are more than the Base points! It appears to me that the Bonus points are very much dependent on the length of time you are at a mchine. So, if you are a $1 player, but hop between severl machines playing each for a short time, you don't accumulate many (even any) bonus points. This is my understanding. Is that correct?"
No. I know some people disagree with me on this but my experience indicates that Bonus Credits are almost entirely dependent on coin-in. I have not seen any decrease in Bonus Credits as a result of changing machines. (My experience is Atlantic City. This may be different in other Harrahs regions and this may account for some different expereinces/opinions.)
In addition, you do see your total base and bonus credits for the day after inserting (or re-inserting) your card along with your total Base Credits.
