The following info pertains to the Reno GDW only. The Carson City GDW is different.
It takes $1 reel slots or $1.50 vp to earn one cashback point. 2000 cashback points equals $10 free play and $2.50 in food comps.
The VIP accrual rate is based upon the "theo" assigned to each machine or bank of machines and, therefore, varies across the casino. It is "machine" based and not "game" based. VIP credits have nothing to do with earning free play or food comp dollars. They are currently used only to determine your card level...3000 = white gold, 7000 = black gold, 14000 = ultimate gold. VIP credits are accrued over a 6 month period to determine one's card level for the subsequent 6 months. Accrual periods are January thru June and July thru December.
The 4 gamemakers with FP pickem were removed a few months ago. They were the only non-tito machines left in the casino and the slot techs say they had difficulty getting replacement parts for them. They will not be back.

On their website it says that the amount of VIP credits earned varies by game.
