Spontaneous free play

     This is something that has just recently popped up during my play at the casino. All of a sudden the word promo will appear on your screen and you have instant free play. Just yesterday, I clicked on it and 2 separate offers of ten and fifteen dollars were available. Of course I downloaded and used them right away. I had checked the website before I left and also the players club when I got there and I had no promotions in my account that day. I suspect they are rewarding players based on either total coin in, a low percentage of return while on a given machine, average bet amount, or something else you are doing for that particular gaming day. I was just wondering if anyone else is getting free play just appearing while they are in the middle of playing when they had no other free play that day before they started to play. Just a side note, this is separate from any achievement awards you might get in any gaming day based on points earned etc. For that, you have to go to a kiosk or players club,swipe your card and or follow other instructions.

Charmed life, Olds! No spontaneity thus far in AC.

I've had that happen a few times in Vegas, mostly at Station Casinos. They randomly give out big jackpots and everyone in the casino using a players card gets some free play.
I thought this was happening at South Pointe where every hour of so I'd get to spin a wheel for free play, but it was a regular S-T promtion.
