I can't figure it out. Does anyone know which outfit that TE is actually
comparing their rate to claim such a feat? They have 1/6 + 1/3=1/2% cash/comp
rate.

To claim 250% more means what a .2% cash+comps rate for some other casino.

Listing them all (based on vpFree and verified by us who know):

The closest ones 'fitting' that actually are it's sister property:
RP (.2 + .1) = .3 (.2 cb base only, and skimpy .1 comps)
and Riverside (.2 cb known, COMPS UNKNOWN!).
However, I think there is SOME kind of comps formula, putting them
over .2% total...
HL = known .1%, but I guestimate another .2 bonus for .3% total RCs or
comps only, which also is 'close'.

However the 'Lowest' return rates are from the AQUARIUS:
$1/1200 on vp, as .083% and $1/4800 for 100% vp (.0215%),
as the LOWEST on the river! If comps only bring up .117 and .1785
for the above games, then maybe AQ or HL is considered their biggest
competition??

Otherwise, GN actually has the HIGHEST total with:
.19%cb + .38% comps = .57%, or almost .6% total return.

EW-CB comes in at .3% + .1% = .4% or .25% (.15%cb on 100% games)
Pioneer is .08% cb + .25% comps = .33%
Avi comes in at .308% cb known/ + unknown comps.

Thanks for revisiting this exercise; good to know what you're getting
as you play and earn unknown benefits/room marketing offers!

Martin, or maybe I should be called CB-EW Martin,
as those marnell properties are marketing like C-ou-wowza- KURazy!
right now! (Last 3 months = $40 + $100 + $50 + $50 in freeplay,
all on avg. of 3k daily on BPoker; dbl for 100% vp). BTW - that's in
addition to the base club benefits PLUS free rooms on weekends +
additional food/meals comp'd beyond using just the basic club Access
pts....

(So really, I don't think they can officially claim they are the
HIGHEST TOTAL rates of return, and of course, marketing promos change
everything! I.e RP on Fridays, CB-EW Fri-Sat-Sun, etc, etc).
