Was down at MS friday for the afternoon and witnessed something that I
thought was amazing: I was walking around the sky casino and came upon
a gentleman playing Tpiple Play DDB (i think). He was betting 30
credits per line for a total bet of 90 credits...this was a quarter
machine. I figured I'd watch him for a while, and see how he did.
After watching 4 or 5 spins, he gets dealt 4 aces....he holds all and
gets no kickers on the draw, but does win 12000 credits for each line
for a hand pay of $9000.00. My girlfriend and I congratulate him, he
thanks us and tells us he had been down several thousand dollars and
was now about even. Now for the amazing part (at least to us), he
tells us he needs to check his point balance and asks if we "want to
see how many points he has?". Before we even answer, he presses the
Promo button on the machine and his balance scrolls
across.......seventy two thousand, five hundred and something dollars.
I asked my girlfriend if she was seeing what I was seeing....she was.
We congratulated him again and walked away, speechless.
interesting event I saw at Mohegan
And he probably still has trouble getting a Mohegan Sun host to return his
calls.
Accumulating 72000 in comps is not surprising but I do find it interested he
has that much in his account. On the other hand there are only so many
dinners and Godiva chocolates you can buy. Also, you stated that he was
playing a quarter machine which I believe only earns at half the rate of
dollars. Imagine if he consistently played dollars.

I found out that there is a limit to the number of
points that can accumulate on a Players Club card.
The limit is 999,999.99
There was a woman who plays in the high limit area who
reached this limit and was asked to redeem some of the
points. She purchased two Mercedes convertibles.
