One of the main things to remember is that bounce-back goes on a daily

Is that generally true, say of Stations as well?

Thanks,

No, Stations, Coast and some other locals-friendly places base their cashback on total play, usually total coin-in. Stations are very open about what is earned. (One not well known fact about Stations is that you get off-point comps based on Dollar and up play, not total coin-in like all their other policies.)

Palms and Hard Rock are the only off-strip ones I know of evaluating locals based on trip average rather than a cumulative measure. Does anyone know of others?

So you are telling me that if I play one day for seven hours my CE
is more than if I play seven days ofr 1 hour?
Does anyone know who tightly throttled the host are to this
apparently asinine comp policy. This seems quite anti-local to me . I
mean they do advertise themselves as "the locals favorite casino" do
they not.

looks like its time for a letter writeing campaign

This is true - although I can't think what CE is? Your DE - daily average - would be higher and therefore you would get higher bounce-back coupons.

<<Does anyone know who tightly throttled the host are to this

Not sure of the meaning of the above - but be assured the hosts have absolutely nothing to do with making this policy and have no input in deciding what the bounce-back is. Those policies are decided in marketing or other higher echelons of casino executives.

The only CE I'm familiar with is craps-eleven, but I doubt anyone would
spend either 1 hour a day for seven days or seven hours a day for one day
playing it. I hope not, anyway.

comp equivalantcy
