Spoke to someone in management who knows and all fp vp no longer earn points which is 20% of the machines. You could always play 7-5 JOB and earn pts.(LOL) It was either downgrading the machines or removing pts and the focus group they held wanted the machines at fp with no points. THis is a done deal and will not change

Further confirmation and explanation
"Focus group" - that mean the standard focus(s) of customers?

Just to clarify here...
What if I am playing a less than fp game like deuces wild on a machine with 9/6 JOB or fp pick em (which is now possible on the $1 and higher denominations pick em machines in Earth/Sky). Is this a machine by machine change or is the game being played the controlling factor?
By the way, JOB on the machines to the right of the circular/star bar entrance were downgraded to 7/5 this past week. Lovely, huh?

It is the machine that determines if pts are given. You will notice that slot games have been eliminated for the the 9-6 job and ddb machines.

So if you are playing a less than FP VP game on a machine that happens to have FP VP on it, you don't get any points? Good grief! What an incredibly bad idea that is! This is bound to backfire on them.

It already has. Mohegan's slot handle is down month after month while FW holds steady. My guess is that they will bring it back at something like $300 a point similar FW. Everyone will then be happy saying wow we're getting 1 point for every $300 instead of nothing. Time to start planning trips to A/C and Vegas.
