$500 new member payback at Rivers Casino

[davidearl]

   I posted this elswhere, but I'll post it here too.     If you lose up to $500 on your first day at Rivers Casino, you will receive a mailer in 4 to 6 weeks with the freeplay. New members only. Must use a players card. Promo lasts through the month of September.

I wonder how they constitute a "LOSS".  For example, in vp you can run a $100 bill through the machine and get say  8 full houses. Technically you won 8x45= $360. Then you exhausted your $360 till u were broke. Do they consider these type of paybacks on their promotion. My guess is that they have to . Not sure if you get what Im saying.

Most Players Card systems track Win/Loss when they are used. I suspect the casino can look at the card's activity over the given time frame, and determine the results of your gaming.


 
In your example, BR, you lost $100 if you played until your original stake was exhausted. You don't get a 'loss' credit for losing back your winnings.

The casino computer system keeps track of your play. That includes amount of time you played . The amount of coins-thru. Your win-loss, and your average bet. Occassionally,  I 'll go to the host desk and get those figures from them. I had one host  ask me why I wanted that info. I told her that I keep a log of my play for tax purpose in case of an audit against my gambling wins.
That's the Rivers Casino in Illinios not the one in Pittsburgh.

Im well aware of how the players card/clubs work. Im thinking that they may say, "You earned $360 , you were ahead. You then decided to exhaust money into oblivion until you were broke". I dont know. Maybe it is legit with no strings attached. I just know how some casinos use win/loss information. If they will reimburst all monies regardless of how much of a payback you received over the course of your initial first visit, then I would be suprised. Alot of people dont really understand the numbers, systems, and figures required to realize an exact payback in vp. Its not as simple as spending x amount of $ and losing it. It changes every single hand. This sounds complicated but its just the way it is.

   br, in your example, you would have a net loss of 0. If you lost the $100 in addition to the $360 that you won and the lost, your net loss is $100.    I called and asked all the questions before I signed up shortly after midnight. As long as your card is in and working, they will send you freeplay for losses incurred on your first calender day. That's why I waited until after midnight to sign up.    I'll post here when I get my freeplay.

   Got my payback/free slot play in the mail today (Oct. 3rd). I lost $400.75 and the free slot play is for $405. Valid any day, 10-1-12 thru 10-30-12. free slot play offers are valid 9am-6am. I'll let you know how I do, when I get there, to play.

Nice job, David.  I love it when I can cash out winnings with FreePlay.
