Palms scratch card...

I think that the Palms is really turning the screws to us. They
halved the available free play for me and the 2 times they did give it
to me is the first over 2 days and the second for only 1 day. Sheesh!

It sure looks that way...significant reduction in free play from
August mailer to September...now an even further reduction.

The Palms scratch cards for October are touting $2.7 million in
prizes...guess we'll have to see how good or bad the prizes are.
Trouble is you have to go every day to gain the full EV. Can you
say "much lower daily average coin-in"?? The way my luck has been
running lately...I'll probably miss the day I would have scratched
off $1,000.00 in free play!!

I just hope they keep the rules for the "Presents for Points" the
same as last year...440 points = $1...and all the VP was eligible.

i just scratched off all the days for both my wife and myself. with
the exception of a few 3x and 4x days, it was pretty much worthless.
1 $10 and 1 $5 free play is all. good thing i decided not to go
there every day. maybe it's time to say goodbye to the palms. there
is much better things to do in vegas.

I'm starting to think the same thing. One question...were any of the
3x or 4x points in the second half of the month when the Presents for
Points promo kicks in?

Thanks,

I've already scratched them off my list with the big reduction in free play.
This let's me do the scratch card all I want and to hell with the daily
coin-in.
