Usually they add an additional 2x Base to your Bonus points. In my
experience, the Bonus points earned initially are typically around 3x Base, but I
understand this varies by machine. So the net effect on these days is that you
earn Base + ~3x Base + ~2x Base = around 6x points.

*****
Three times Bonus for every Base point earned, I need to ask what and where
do you play?

Some non-Nevada HET outlets you don't earn any Bonus points at all. Playing
$5k on 9/6 Jacks in Laughlin I earned just over 1 Bonus for 2 Base. If took
to $10k to get to a one-to-one ratio.

In general, the longer you play the better the rate. It also seems
thresholds are built into the system. Crossing the $5k mark added an extra 200 Bonus.
Some folks also contend leaving your card in helps accrue points.
Personally, I pull mine every hour or so to send my session points to the the daily
totals for peace of mind.

I played both at the Rio and Harrahs LV, and recall about the same ratio (actually, the bonus was slightly more than 3x base). I played $5/$10/$25 9/6 JoB, with sessions up to 25k base points. I've noticed that longer sessions seem to help, as you mentioned. And I would pull my card occasionally to check, or if I hit a taxable of course they would pull my card for me. Harrah's was on a "double base as bonus" day, and I ended up earning 27k base + 140k total bonus points (86k initially + 54k double base).
