Casino Gifts
Tropicana love mailers. I will grant them that much. In AC for 4.5 hours at the sports book before realizing that I had a nice pillow gift event. I hopped on the jitney to claim it. I arrived at 4:30 PM, well within the 2-8 PM window. But the voucher gave me a 6:30 PM pick up time! Their plan: hold victims hostage while they lose hundreds of dollars awaiting a "gift." Fortunately, the Rewards Center staff immediately surrendered said pillow and I avoided a pillow fight. I would have left without it. People have places to go. Casinos manipulate their schedules for profit. It's a constant battle.

It pays to read those pesky mailers.
I got one from Hollywood Casino Joliet a couple weeks ago advertising a 4 piece bedding set: comforter one week; sheets the next; pillows the 3rd week; and, a throw blanket another week. It clearly stated pick up anytime between noon and 8:00 pm. I was there within the allotted window and didn't gamble a penny inside the casino. Grab and run.

That is a nice haul. You do enough gambling there most trips, so they will not even consider penalizing you. I just worry about the offers ending. Should I just drop $50 at their sports book on grab and go days so at least I have some visible business with them? I will bypass busting on poor tables that way.

I'd be careful with the grab and run thing. Casino management frowns upon it.Tedlark wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 3:31 pmIt pays to read those pesky mailers.

Bears make money, bulls make money, hogs get slaughtered. It's true in life as well as Wall Street.

I have played at Hollywood Casino Joliet, IL once in the past couple years. I stopped there on August 15, 2020, dropped $300.00 and left. Prior to this I hadn't stopped in there since August of 2018.
And in Chicago, the saying goes: "Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered."

This is why I am considering some nominal sports book play. I make a shrewd pick or two, pick up my stuff and hopefully cash in next time. All parties get something. I don’t get steamrolled by the pathetic pay tables from hell. I’m not enduring that situation again. I mean, what are we doing? I’m in AC.
