I found the following over the last few days. I'm playing 1 or 2d single and triple bonus poker. 300 coin in gets 4 tier. It would take 4500d coin in to get the 60 tier required for the free gifts tha t used to require 300 coin in last week. 300 slot coin in does get 60 tier. To be clear, factoring all the 5/1 tier switch in, it takes 15x more coin in than what the program overview seems to indicate.obviously there are algorithms involved where if someone is playing lower paying vp it's going to garner more tier. I see no way they cannot update this. Emerald parking lots a lot less filled. They have to be competitive with stations.

I need advice. If I defect from Boyd’s casinos what would be a good alternative. I am used to getting comped for rooms and using my points for buffets and dinners. Mainly I play triple bonus plus, NSUD and jacks.

The new Young at Heart rules for downtown Las Vegas properties:

https://static.boydgaming.net/boydgaming/media/downloads/2018-YAH-DTR-RULES-REVISED-vf080718.pdf

The changes now limit your maximum benefit to MUCH less than the previous rules.

Now the maximum cash back bonus you can earn is 100,000 points that convert to $50 cash versus $100 previously.

Your maximum action is now 10,000 per Wednesday. Previously a 6X multiplier allowed you to play 20,000 coin in, a 7X allowed 16,666, etc.

The sky IS falling :frowning:

G’luck all,

Gamb00ler

I think you are confused, or maybe I am. 100,000 bonus points is still worth $100 FP. With a 6X multiplier you used to play $20,000 coin in = 20,000 points worth $20 and get the maximum 100k bonus points worth $100. Now with 11X points you can still play $20,000 coin in which earns 10,000 points worth $10 plus maximum 100k bonus points worth $100. So the difference is $10 per day, $120 under old system and $110 under new system for $20k coin in.

Actual I forgot to add, last week I earned close to 5000 Mystery Points added after I played about $20k coin in on YAH downtown. That would mean about $115 vs $120 or a $5 difference. I don’t think any of us know yet what formula is used for these mysterious extra points that appear.

Speaking more of Stratosphere, they have some
similar benefits to the old Boyd system:

1X-4X everyday points, based on tier level.

Annual Dividend Bonus for top two tiers.

Earn points on freeplay.

Cash for points option.

Limo service for Red tier.

I agree that their slot club is good, however, their Video Poker is abysmal. You would be far better off going to Arizona Charlie’s Decatur, same slot club with much better games. Even better is the Aquarius in Laughlin which is where I play a few times a year.

Yes, you are correct. I was thinking the points are worth half what they were instead of requiring twice as much action to earn. The 11X is equivalent to 5.5X under the original YAH program so we only loose .05%.

G’luck all,

In times past there were maximums - at different times or at different casinos. Where are you all seeing these max limits NOW???

However, VegasVPplayer, you are correct in your calculations, using 100,000 points as an example. I consider it like the former 6x for VP but now the 11x is 5.5x - a small drop but still a positive play if you choose the NSUDs. (I am choosing to ignore the impossible tier system!!! :slight_smile: )

The Gold Coast “official promo book” (behind the counter) had “no limit” specifically marked on their multiple point promos - and the YAH rules online didn’t mention any maximum of. In times past there were maximums - at different times or at different casinos. Where are you all seeing these max limits NOW???

However, VegasVPplayer, you are correct in your calculations, using 100,000 points as an example. I consider it like the former 6x for VP but now the 11x is 5.5x - a small drop but still a positive play if you choose the NSUDs. (I am choosing to ignore the impossible tier system!!! :slight_smile: )

I think you are confused, or maybe I am. 100,000 bonus points is still worth $100 FP. With a 6X multiplier you used to play $20,000 coin in = 20,000 points worth $20 and get the maximum 100k bonus points worth $100. Now with 11X points you can still play $20,000 coin in which earns 10,000 points worth $10 plus maximum 100k bonus points worth $100. So the difference is $10 per day, $120 under old system and $110 under new system for $20k coin in.

Now the maximum cash back bonus you can earn is 100,000 points that convert to $50 cash versus $100 previously.
Your maximum action is now 10,000 per Wednesday. Previously a 6X multiplier allowed you to play 20,000 coin in, a 7X allowed 16,666, etc.


It appears, at least from the printed rules, that the 3 Boyd downtown properties still have the 100,000 point promotional cap for YAH. Thanks to A.P. for posting the link. In the past, Boyd Downtown properties had the cap for AL point multiplier promotions, so it may still be in place.

I haven’t played over 10k points to test since change. This Wednesday I played exactly $20k or 10,000 points. My points went up 118,500. It appears breakdown was 10,000 base points, 100,000 points for 11X multiplier, 5,000 points for my YAH Kiosk gift swipe after earning 1 tier credit, and 3,500 mystery points for whatever criteria they now give additional points.

Great news. It doesn’t mention a cap, but it also doesn’t specify no cap.

You have an old (8/7/18) set of YAH rules. The latest rules are dated 8/21.

I just checked the RULES link at MSS and they still have the old set of rules. I guess someone will have to give them a try and see what happens.
