I agree with Jigger. My wife and I gave the $.25 Aces and Eights a good bit of play the last weekend in October. Every transaction has to take place at the booth near the front of the casino and every transaction is intensly painful. We never waited less than half an hour. Even though they might have a line of 15-20 people, they would still only have one boothling working.
BTW, they have a free room offer for anyone signing up for the new players club, if you are interested. I don't remember how many points you had to earn, but we did it easily with 5-6 hours of play on the aforementioned $.25 A&8 machines.

The vpFree database for the two properties shows $10 coin in earns 1
point and 40 points equals $1 CB or $2 free play. Are those figures
current with the new players club?

Correct Don. We are giving them a some play due to the decent concert offers they send. The free play option is great, but the comp rates have been slashed - I think they are about .1% since the change over.
Now the fun part - standing in the slot club line. I have never seen a bigger mess in my casino life. A 20 minute wait to get something as simple as a new card is the norm. You cannot "swipe" at a restaurant, shop, etc., so all comp redemption comes from the "line". I have sworn the place off - and told them so - until they can at least get some type of system in place to better handle those of us who just need a simple task - not a promo, or whatever the people who are in at the counter for 10 minutes seem to be doing. Lots of rookies in line in this slot club......
