MGM/Detroit points and cashback

Stopped at the booth yesterday and started asking specific questions
about their points and cashback. The obviously annoyed boothling
finally gave up and fished out a small sheet that lists the info.

$2 coin-in (slots) = 1 point
$6 coin-in (VP) = 1 point
100 points = $1

There is a slight increase in the points awarded for $5 machine play,
$5 = 3 points. Apparently this doesn't apply to VP, which is no big
deal since the $5/up pay schedules are horrible.

I couldn't obtain comp rate info, is not on the sheet and the
response I got was a look that can be best described as dazed and
confused.

   Brian,
   
   I have been using the 10,000 points equals $10 scale at MGM so you
are right on.

   Last week I tried to get comped a meal at their new sports bar and
was told that they couldn't do it because I hadn't played there in
about five weeks.(I was out of town) I asked the girl when the hell
did this policy start as I have been gambling there for years now and
should have food comps forever.
   And besides, I played there that day for three hours and doesn't
that count? She said they have no record of me playing there that day
and if I did, I hadn't used my card. I said I sure as hell did
because I saw my name run across the screen when I put it in. She
said I was mistaken, which means that I must be lying.
   Nice place.
   
   I think I'm going to be doing the bulk of my gambling from now on
at Motor City Casino.
