Be careful with this. The typical house edge on reels is probably in the general neighborhood of 10%. Boyd's new accrual rate for tier credits on reels, compared with the accrual rate on VP, is consistent with this. If you've been used to playing exclusively 9/6 JOB, and are now going to switch 30% of your action to reels, you'll be giving up about 3.32% of your action, as opposed to 0.46% previously. That's an expected loss more than seven times what it was before. The added free play you'll earn will make up for only a small fraction of this. The loss might be mitigated a bit through judicious selection of good progressive jackpots and other good situations, but don't fool yourself into thinking you can do so successfully on any day of your choosing.

I see no reason to think that some tiny amount of reels play, like 3% of your action, is going to fool the system.

I would say a few things:

  1. Leave Boyd ASAP.
  2. If you want comped rooms etc., your going to need some slot play.
  3. Emerald level play, why not do CET Total Rewards? Lots of room offers, Atlantis, Monthly Show Tickets, $100 Annual Dinner, Bonus Tier Points, No Resort Fees, Diamond Lounge, etc.
  4. I would also consider the Stratosphere Club program and the casinos that are in its players club.
  5. Reno, South Lake Tahoe, Laughlin, other Nevada. Also, Biloxi and other places, USA/Canada/Caribbean.
  6. Use offers & status at URComped for cruises etc.
  7. Four Queens has always been generous to me.
  8. Circus-Circus if you can stand children; as they have a generous program.
  9. For many of you, the goal is to have fun and have some comps to subsidize your vacation. In 2018, this really will mean slot play. If not (which I have done myself) limit casino visits, to cruises on URComped and my local Miami casinos.
  10. Those of you in the Biloxi market: IP has been gutted (gone are weekly comped meals, room stays, etc.) so I would take my business to Treasure Bay. https://treasurebay.com/players-club/club-tier-levels/

If you only play VP, they tag you as an “only plays VP” person. If you play a dummy slot even just once, they at least know you are a potential dummy slot player, it’s just a matter of the right machine and right promotions to get you to play more dummy slots. Watch out though, the dummy slots are very addictive, by design. It’s like trying a little fentanyl to see if you like it or not, you know what they say, if it doesn’t kill you it makes you stronger. hashtag tweaker nation lol

The B-Conn tier countdowns assume 10% Theo for all slots. We know that not all slots return 90%. Use your brain and think about what kind of slots might have a return better than 90% and play those to get to Sapphire. I’ll give you one right now…$5 and up classic 3 reel Double Diamond typically is set at around 95%…particularly at casinos in North Las Vegas, Downtown, and along the Boulder Strip.
