Yesterday at MGM

#1

Guys,

I had a free gift coupon that I tore off my MGM calendar, so I made a quick trip to see what it was. When I arrived,(12:30 p.m.)there were about a hundred people in line at the counter. I didn't want to wait, so I walked by, and headed for the Pick'em machines.

I played for about an hour, finally hit a quad and a couple of FHs, took my $200 profit and headed back to the counter. There was still a hundred or so people in line? Some kind promo going on? I gave up. The gift was probably just some more MGM logo-ed refrigerator magnets any way.

Had a couple of single-malt scotches upstairs at Ignite, chatted with the bartender, and was out of there by 2:15. Taking my small profit and running away is how I play now.

Everyone is standing in line at MGM to get the weekly 2x match from Caesar's Windsor play redeemed at MGM. Even though the line is 1 block long, and if there are around 8-10 people working up at the player's club, the wait is normally around 20-25 minutes, and the line moves rather quickly.

I'm waited in line in Mt. Pleasant during their "match this" promo for over 2 hours before, so I guess I'm kind of used to these lines now. Mt. Pleasant uses a ticket number system now, where on match this promo days, you go in and pick up a ticket number and then wait for your number to be called over the P.A. system and then report to the player's club to redeem your matched free play then. That way, you SPEND your free play first, even before you can get it......
