Brian addressed to me: It is quite possible that if Aquarius looks at
your play at its "sister" properties, you might be
viewed as a more desirable player than someone with little or no play
at these sister casinos.
What do you think?
The last time I played at either Arizona Charlie's was in 2000, and at
the Strat it was prior to that. And since I was playing dollar Ten Play
10/7 Double Bonus there during multiple point days and was a significant
winner, it's unlikely that the "desireable" notation is attached to my
account.
Your supposition is possible, however, and is not one I considered. I
assumed that their current records do not go back that far. This does
not strike me as a company with an up-to-date player tracking system
that would automatically retrieve such data.
It strikes me more a company with a comparable system to the Gold Coast
--- and without merging threads, there's been a lengthy discussion here
recently about the problems there. Gilbert's original post on this
thread included the possibility of a casino screw-up. Although this is
certainly a possibility, I hate to base decisions on something like
"it's impossible to figure stuff out because the casino is run by
morons." I strongly prefer to have a more solid basis for making
choices.
Another of Brian's "throwaway" suggestions was that different machines
were set to different theos. Although he discounted the likelihood of
this, I've seen this at too many casinos to ignore it. When I play for
the same denomination again, I'll be sure to play at "my" machine again
rather than "Cody's". It might be nothing, but why not take advantage of
the possibility at no extra cost? This makes more sense to me than any
of the other possibilities. Perhaps I'll cultivate a relationship with a
host and learn more.
The properties have recently been sold and although the current
management is supposed to continue on after the ownership change, there
will likely be numerous changes. Spending a lot of time figuring out a
system that may go away soon strikes me as not a good use of time.
