I inquired at the Dream Rewards booth on Thursday night as to what the coin-in
amount was for one point. The immediate response was "I think 180". When I said
that it seemed much higher, the boothling went into the office to check, and
sheepishly told me when she returned that it was 340!. I asked what my coin-in
was, and based on the points earned it definitely was higher than 300, perhaps
not a full 340. But either one is pretty astronomical.
That puts Gold at a minimum of $240K and Platinum ar $600K, per six month period

The quarter video poker machines turned out to also be $300 coin-in = 1 pt
(.33%). I'll update the vpfree2.com web site.
Looks like the point reduction covers slots as well as VP. Was a FW yesterday
with my wife who played slots. She did not "clock" the machines, but in a
healthy session that would typically yield 50 or so base points, she earned 15.
I played a very limited session of DD because of the reduced points. We wound't
likely be going back, in spite of free play offers.
I don't know what the thinking is at FW, are they trying to starve the stores
and resturants?
