Palms and Stations

We got our November Palms/Stations mailer today. We have free play 8 times a month. Based on usual policy in other Station casinos, does it matter whether you play every day you pick up free play (that is, daily average) or does future free play depend on just your total play for the month (or whatever the qualification period is for bounce-back – which is what???). We haven’t played much at Stations for several years so I am rusty on the details.

By the way, everyone who plays slots or VP earns 3x points every day (except for over 100% VP). So when they advertise 6x that is really 2x since the base 3x goes away on those days. There is a different chart for earning STATUS (tier) credits – VP earns 1 credit for $1 coin-in while slots earn 3 credits for $1 in. Pick up a brochure to see that other games earn because that varies.

Very complicated players club system!!!

Subject: [vpFREE] Palms and Stations

We went over to the palms yesterday and found that we might as well just have waited until November 1 to get the new cards. After November 1 palms players will receive stations tier based on their palms tier, for example all stars at the palms will become chairman (at least for short time). Some of the machines at the palms did not read current stations parts properly so we did not play.

I have credit at the palms and strangely the cashier’s cage told me they don’t yet know what the procedure will be too get Credit at Stations and for me to come back after November 1 to see if I need to reapply. I was able to cash a check under the palms credit. November 1 is only a few days away so it seemed odd that they had not yet finalized procedures for the switch.

We were also given a stations brochure that shows that now stations is giving princess cruises away. For gold, platinum, and present levels, based on play you Will receive either a exclusive rate or a complementary state room. Chairman will receive a complimentary price for two on select princess itineraries. Taxes, fees, and port expenses are the responsibility of the guest.

Video poker is one credit for a dollar except for 100% games where the earn rate will vary and multipliers are excluded. Slots are three credits for a dollar.

Currently You cannot pick up free play that you’ve earned at other stations casinos at the palms. I don’t know if this will change in November or not. I did get a stations mailer (I I played at red rock) that shows a free pumpkin pie pick up at the palms in November.

Yes. Base is 0.1%. You get 0.3% all days except on multiplier days when you 0.6% if it is 6X points. When you think about it, it's kind of the same deal as being Emerald at a Boyd property.

I don't see how you get the daily 3X points at Palms Station this month however because at Stations properties you have to swipe at kiosk everyday to get it and it was not on the kiosk for me.

At Stations, IF you have a higher tier level card, the 3X option does not show up at the kiosk, because you do not have to swipe to receive the daily 3X-it is automatic.You DO have to swipe to accept the point multiplier on 4X, 5X, and 6X days, no matter what tier you have.

To check to see if you are getting the 3X points, play a hand, and go back to the kiosk. There is an option that says something like “daily points played, points earned.” If you click on that, it shows your base points (coin in) and earned points, which will reflect whether they have been multiplied.

I have not used the Stations kiosks at the Palms yet, but if Vegasvpplayer was given a higher level card, that may explain why he didn’t see the 3X option on the kiosk.Or perhaps they have not yet changed the system to reflect the 3X daily.

To answer Jean’s question, it has been explained to me by Stations hosts that your monthly mailer in based on two months of play, skipping the previous month. For example, your December mailer is based on your play during September and October.

I'm still a low level Gold Card player at Stations per the kiosk and website. Probably just a Station attempt to make more money off of Palms players until November 1st by giving them only 0.1% CB.
