New area by Angeline’s far removed from maddening crowd. I like it, though machines still appear to be simply a concentration of the same old battle axes from the floor. They’re no worse than the B Bar battalion, and I can actually play in peace on a weekend. Definitely a new go to.

I have never been to Borgata, so I can't return. :lol: Since they allow smoking, if I am ever in AC, I will not go there unless there are non-smoking areas. FYI, I haven't been to AC since before the casino era.
There are VP machine in the non-smoking area also. The MGM Sports bar is non-smoking and I like playing there. I don't smoke so I play in the non smoking areas.
Thanks Jim. Glad they have a good non-smoking area. If I get to AC, I will go there given all I have read about AC casinos.

FAA if you are a diamond or higher card status at Ceasar's or a higher tier status at another casino. You can check with the Borgata card center for a tier card upgrade. If eligible you may get be able to get the Gold card or higher. This will give you access to the Amphora Lounge.
Higher cards from Hard Rock & Ocean casino will be accepted ( I think ) check it out.

How am I supposed to be Diamond? I barely made Platinum while keeping my head above water there. You have me confused with a high roller. Even triple my TCs for low Diamond, they would likely reject me.

Competition is truly dog eat dog here. Borgata positioned a giant ad in the shadow of Hard Rock and Resorts advising strollers walking north on boardwalk to travel just three more miles to their humble “happy place.” Talk about breathing down their necks and lurking in the weeds. Major flex by consensus leader.

Last week complete bust, yesterday won everything back plus some, but what I’ve noticed is tier credits seem to not be earned like they were a month ago. I play same amounts, same machines, same amount of time. I vaguely remember a notice that Borgata would be adjusting how tiers are earned, based on games played, amount of wager and time playing. Any of you regulars noticed a change based on your normal play.

Yes, same thing recently. Haven't put math to it, but I think you're right. I was getting increased cash back and slot dollars for a while, above and beyond what I normally got, but it is back to normal for the last 2 trips.

I have notice on some trips that the tier score changes after the trip has ended and a day or to later.
