Olds yes in time I will just do some quarter VP. The thing I wonder is did you lose all free rooms, food vouchers? Here everything is point based so by summer my points will not add to a hill of beans and rooms, food vouchers will dry up. Forget about Host help with the new points of 10 to 1 there will be $5 to $10 free play a week at best no rooms or gas cards. VP retirement is coming maybe by the end of the year.

I guess for now Wildman, you can just ride it out until the Roller Coaster breaks down. Ever think of playing an hour or so of 99 percent vp. It is just a guess, but I wonder on the days you cash out the slot free play, if you give them a nominal amount of normal vp business, they may not ban you. Just a guess however.
I agree Olds, you talked me into it, wife and I heading out for some play right now. I don't need the ban as I did hear more might be coming.

Best of luck guys I hope you have fun and have a winning session iIf we didn’t enjoy the game, it wouldn’t matter to us so much if we got banned but at least for me and I think you folks to this is my main Hobby now. There is one other thing I do and I don’t know if it makes any difference or not. I am still allowed to use my free play on video poker. However I don’t get anywhere near the amount that you guys do and the most I ever get even with an achievement award is $100 in any given day. But what I do when I download the free play I always put my own hundred dollar bill in with her and make sure I play at least 200 bucks worth of coin in. Again I have no idea if that makes a difference and I guess every casino has their own rules they follow. The bottom line is the house still has the edge and you would think they would be content with the amount of hours we play And taking some of our money over time instead of outright
banning folks

The room situation is pretty crazy the website shows no free rooms and yet if I call Vip services I can get one usually Sunday through Thursday. They have no explanation explanation why the mismatch. As to food with Covid the buffet was closed along time ago I get unlimited lounge access with unlimited guests with the soar card and they have just extended it to the end of September which I did not expect that all. When I play 99% machines I don’t get any spendable points at all but the free rooms and free food in the lounge is a decent trade off

Another thing you talked about briefly in your post is the number of serious VP poker husbands that have wives that strictly play slots I see them at Mohegan sun coming back in the course of the session with their hand out asking their husbands for more money for the slots. The casinos by banning people are going to lose all of that business as well I don’t know if they factor that in at all or even care about it.
Funny as I was dictating this with Siri since I am in the car waiting to head out to run some errands my wife overhearing the Post says hey I see husbands crawling back to their wives with their hands out as well and the wives are playing video poker. Come to think of it I guess she is right. Anyway they’re going to lose that business as well

That backward, behind the curve casino out there is simply finally recalibrating to industry standards. CET has been squeezing us on 99% machine credits for over four years. Michigan oxen are finally being gored with the rest of us.

Not sure about you F AA, but I’m not sure myself or wild man at our age are as wiry and street savvy as we were in our 20s to get out of the way of the running of the bulls. The running of the bulls festivals in Spain remind me of what the casinos are doing. The problem is the streets of the casino are lined with the 55 and up crowd not savvy young gauchos in their teens and 20s

My wife is an Irish lass. Her dad was one of 10 children quite typical of an Irish family in the 1920s. Anyway she just sent you and the Mrs. this four leaf clover for your trip today. I hope it stays fresh and green and doesn’t get wilted on the way out there. Enjoy your day Mr. And Mrs. wild man.

Unable to make a weekly trip, but will keep it handy. Striving for that four figure FAA feast.
