Harrahs considers higher level card

Unless you're being tied up and marched onto that bus at
gunpoint... I don't see how you're being "forced" to take a bus
trip to Showboat. I'm sure you can find bus offers to
Ceasar's/Ballys, if you looked, and could get similar offers from
those properties.

Actually, the bus we're taking(the best deal - by _far_ - among bus
trips from our area) is a bus to the Sands(and TPlaza, but Sands pays
WAY better; they're actually giving us MORE back than our trip
costs!). From there, we're going to Ballys(to redeem my
weekly "welfare check"), then over to Showboat(to get my this-day-
only $10 and our FREE FQB dinner for TWO).

And I not only checked the other bus offers departing from our local
mall, I also checked about bus trips to(any of the 3) casinos @the
Marina. They haven't had any for over 10 years and don't anticipate
having any anytime soon. When I expressed surprise that all the hype
and hoopla surrounding the Borgata hadn't resulted in a bus to there
being offered, she said "Well, that's up to the casinos, not us(nor
the bus companies, apparently).".

It's not really a matter of which casino the bus trip's to anyway.
It's more a matter of having a mere 6 hours @AC, the fact that the
FQB'll take up about 1/3 of that, etc.

Just say "No." Ride the bus to Showboat and at least go next door
to Resorts to play!

Unless I'm mistaken, neither Showboat OR Resorts have 9/6 JoB(even
Harrahs AC has that!). I've played at both, and I actually do(much)
better at Showboat, one machine in particular.

So, since I'd be playing 8/5 at either Showboat or Resorts(for this
trip anyway), I'd rather play where I've had a better and more
profitable history(and that one particular 8/5 JoB machine @Showboat
is MINE tomorrow afternoon, lol).

If Resorts had 9/6, you can "bet" I'd be playing over there
tomorrow! But if they've got ANY 9/6 JoB(in ANY denomination, tho I
play quarters) @Resorts, that's news to me(as well as many others
here).

Well, then you're not being "forced" anywhere -- you're just going where you
want to go, and where you FEEL luckier.

And, no offense, but that's EXACTLY why Harrah's and Showboat and a lot of
other properties will continue to offer garbage VP and lousy comps --
because people are still going to choose to go there even though they know
better.

*shrug*

But you're far from being "forced" to go play a lousy 8/5 machine.

Resorts has some 9/6 JOB, but not in quarters. Last I looked they
had plentiful 8/5 bonus poker in nice multi-game consoles in
quarters, which is WAY (maybe 1.8%) better than 8/5 JOB - if you get
some bonus quads. I think these machines also have 8/5 JOB, so if
bonus poker runs cold you can switch to JOB and get rid of those
nasty unlucky quad bonuses. :wink:
