Stay with No Play

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

Well, I haven’t consulted any Seven Stars. They may indeed get a pass. That would be analogous to Olds’ tier/loss level!

CET stratifies Diamond; low Diamonds must pay. Anyway, this is tangential. I’ll be at Tropicana, where I was squeezed for a bust. They may distinguish also. But I’ll be unharmed now. Pass the chips and remote.

Indeed, Seven Stars do not pay resort fees.

Don't eat the chips from the room FAA, they would cost you more than the resort fee.

Yes, hip to that scam. I shall stock up at Walgreens. Even the more convenient 7-11 is too steep for my budget this week.

FAA, casino hotels do not have premium television channels in the rooms because they would rather have you in the casino and not the room.....

Wow! At both Mohegan and Foxwoods, if a room is comped, all fees are waived even if you are the lowest level player. Those taxes and fees aren’t cheap either. Covers things like water, newspapers, taxes etc. I think they recently learned their lesson the hard way. Gamblers in general can be very fickle and spontaneous people. I know of several who make my level of play seem like playing for matchsticks. The casino started to charge these players like a 20 fee instead if fully comping the rooms abd suites. They got together and up and left either for Vegas, A/C, or the other Ct casino. They stayed away for months until the casino reversed the policy. Some have trickled back, but not all. I have another friend who only plays slots at anywhere from the 10 dollar to 100 dollar level a spin. He never asks for a room as he always went home to let out his cat at 3 AM. One day a year or so ago the cat was overnight at the vet. My friend had hit a jackpot that day for 5k. No big deal to him. He asked for a room and they said no you have 20,000 points worth a dollar each and just won 5k. Just pay for it. He hasn’t been back since other to treat family to dinner and spend down the points. I will never never understand management thinking at casinos. Don’t they get it that gambling play time is on their side in the long run? I guess they don’t.
