The "regular" reward credits (1 per $10 of VP or $5 of slots) goes toward
tier score (10,000 per year = diamond card) at ALL Harrah's.
The "bonus" reward credits = 1c of comps per RC. Never more than double the
regular reward credits (Unless they sent you a coupon that multiplies them.)
On Harrah's better (?) VP it may be less or even zero! (At Joliet, the $1
9-6 DDB progressive gets NO bonus reward credits. The progressive feed rate
is 0.8% so this is sometimes a positive play.)
Harrah's has had several special events at East Chicago trying to explain
how the "More" version of "Total Rewards" is better than the old system but
they have not fooled anybody!

> vpFREE AdministratorI play at Harrah's STL quite a bit and typical bonus RC's on video
poker is less than 1 bonus per 10 earned RC's... lots of the time it
is Zero bonus per 1000 earned RC's. So at least here you can just
figure to not get any bonus RC's at all. Just for clarification we
get exactly 1 earned RC per $10 coin in, and a host told me that the
computer keeps track of fractional coin in and you dont loose out by
changing machines at $5 in coin in.... I cant confirm, but that is
what I was told.Anyone know of other properties and thier situation?
