Let's have a little closer look at this Access Card and the overall play.
You get seperate cards for both joints, but you get your recycled One Club
number on both. Boothling said they will eventually merge them, December was the
plan. My theory is they realized how goofed-up the One Card really was and
wanted to take a step back. Another thought is they want their other store,
Saddle West-Pahrump to be intregrated too.
Now will we be able to really get 1.2% in coin-in value squeezed out of the
new card?
Adding 1.2% to the 98.4% games on the floor really isn't too bad of a
starting point of 99.6%. Extra Free-play/Bounces/Promos/Multi-points could still
make it a decent play.
Take a look at the three tiered benefits listed in the flyer describing the
club:

As stated before they are secretive about what it takes to move up tiers.
What is this gas and smokes redemption thing? Will Multi-point promos just
add to cashback or to the whole 1.2% spectrum? The first announced multi-point
day is Sept. 3...3X points.
As Hamstockman pointed out they got to fill those rooms someway. Giving
longtime established strong players a couple of weekday nights won't do it.
