Deceitful Advertising

I get annoyed when Arizona Charlie's W advertises 2-100 x points
for most of December on a "swipe your card and find out what you
get" basis, and I get 2 x points every time, on about a dozen occasions.
I didn't play any, but kick myself for going out of my way to participate
in their misleading advertising.

I also don't like the mystery cash envelope promotions that are popular
at Stations and Palms which give minimal amounts to everyone except a
very, very few.

While I understand your feelings, how much do you really expect you
would get? (Most I think I ever got was $10.) If they give away $3 to
5000 players that's $15,000 on a one day giveaway that they had to do
postcards, extra employees, etc. I guess we don't have to go to them. I
often wish I hadn't gone!

_I don't buy into The Palms advertising anymore because of the situation you noted. They should have to spell out a person's odds of hitting each prize level and show the frequency at each level. I go less now because I don't care for their approach_________________________________________________
