No more tier point multipliers?

Looking at the point formula for free play, some sort of multiplier is needed, either a “tier” multiplier (like it is today under the old system; red card is 4x points) or multiplier days (like it is now at ACD with 7x points on Sundays and Thursdays).

We’ll have to see what shakes out under their new system, especially the mailers.

Red Card used to take about $57K coin-in to achieve on VP. That’s 28.5K points. The new mid-level tier requires 30K points to get (60K coin-in) and has less benefits (does not qualify for Dividend) and no 4x tier multiplier so in that respect it’s bad. The evaluation period is now 6 months instead of 4 months so in that respect it’s good. (Tier status lasts longer and you have longer to achieve a level). Legit seems reasonable at 60K points ($120K coin-in).
