Quoting the letter,
"To earn rewards, just play all you favorite slot machines with your
<Resorts Card>. For approximately every $125 coin-in, you'll receive
1 reward dollar. Previously, you had to play $150 to get $1.00 in
cash back."
Since the "previously" text quotes the .66% cb rate formerly assigned
to slot (non vp) play, I presume that under the new system it will
take $250 coin-in to earn $1 of cb/comp credit on vp play. That's a
total of .4%, a mere .07% greater than the former cb rate alone.
That's extraordinarily troubling.
Can you confirm this rate, Christy?
As I didn't play much VP after the switch, I can only quote the letter. It
does not indicate that there is another rate for vp, or that there is even a
difference between vp machines and "slot" machines, unless they used the word
"approximately" for just that very reason. That certainly gives them
flexiblility. There is no doubt that this is not good news
