Stations letter - not that clear

#1

We just got a letter from Stations. I have included a section
below. It's not clear if the offer is a one time deal or can be
claimed every day during the promotion. Since it includes
the word "everyday", I'm leaning towards the latter meaning.

Good luck all,

It can be done every day. The mailer says "Earn up to $500 in Free Slot Play."

This is like the promo they had last month - I think only at Palace Station - but with lesser amounts.

The disclaimer on the bottom of the mailer says "not valid on all slot machines and VP." Hummm - you could read that you can't do it on any VP machine - that needs to be checked out!

My prediction of the fine print: no progressives (VP and Reels), no
Optimum Play, no Triple Deuces, and where you can find it, no 9-6
Jacks, either.

At the Palace Station last month it excluded Optimum Play and I'm not sure what else. And at first it excluded 9/6, but later in the month that must have been changed because you could earn the bonus on 9/6.

Neither my or my wife's mailer includes the details or restrictions
that Jean gave. Our mailers come from Green Valley Ranch.

There is no mention of "up to $500" nor of any excluded machines. It
does state "See back of calendar for further details". The back of
the calendar only has rules/definitions of the regular Xtra Play
Cash, Point Multipliers, Hotel Offers, Dining Offers, Gift Offers,
etc.

Over the phone, the GVR boothling confirmed it applies to all ten
days for a maximun total of $500 free play. I asked if any machines
were excluded and the answer was "it applies to all machines".

YMMV,

Is the free play good the same day or the next day?

It is not good the same day, but you have the next 3 days to download and play it.

Last month at Palace, there was a brochure available at the slot club
about the promotion. One of the paragraphs of fine print on the back
detailed the machines it wasn't good for. I'd quote it here, but I
threw it away.

I stopped at the Rewards Center at Red Rock tonight to see if there
was a similar one for this month, but didn't see one.

Does it affect regular bounce back? Might it be in lieu of it?

#10

Got the mailers for the second half of November in yesterday's mail.
The bounce back cash is still awarded for the last two weeks of the
month.

I didn't mean to ask if it would interfere with bounce back earned in
prior months and playable from now to the end of November, but I'm
wondering if the bounce back that play in November normally would earn
might be reduced by this special bounce back. I never played at the
Palace Station when they were giving away $100 in free play for 8500
base points earned. Did that play earn the same bounce back in future
months that it would have had the $100 not been given?

<<Does it affect regular bounce back? Might it be in lieu of it?

I don't think it affects regular BB, but it is a little hard to tell since their monthly offers seem to be varying frequently these days.
