this is (was) already true in new orleans. if you are a gold or higher
customer and put your card in and punch a code (just a simple numeric), a slot
host is alerted and comes to your machine.

There was an interesting (but long) piece on Harrah's in CIO Central (a Ziff
Davis Publication) this week. Here's a quote from the piece:
"Stanley talks of increasing "differentiated services" that would allow
high-value gamblers to be treated better than less-valued gamblers. At a slot
machine, "a Diamond Customer would get paid before a Gold Customer would" and
that RFID-tracked waitress could be instructed to serve preferred customers
(whose cards might also be tracked) more quickly."
