 [quote=billryan]I've never seen FPDW at South Point.I'm sure you're right. We stayed at Red Rock and they had one small group of full pay quarter VP.  We weren't sure of the strategy, so we played NSU instead.  We spend some time at South Point and just assumed they had them too.  Thanks for the correction.Some members of this forum have said casinos penalized them for playing only full pay games.  Would you like to comment on that?

People here say Stations punishes those who play their 100percent machines. I know it's 12 to earn a point and no multipliers,but don't know enough to say more.
I was getting $15 a week and a free buffet. Wanted to see if playing slots improved the offer. Took $300 one day and played nothing but slots for almost three hours.
Went back and forth. At one point I was up $200, another I was down $200.
Played some strange Wheel of fortune that was three dollars a spin and won eight free spins. First spin was for $360. Second was for 210. Just as I was getting excited I won $10 on the next six spins.
My flyer this month$- $5 and a half price buffet. Maybe they are a month behind. I don't know.

I was one of the people who voiced many times about Stations punishing people for playing the up to 99.8% or over 100% games; it was based on strong rumors I've heard, most of the negatives from Mr. Dancer who has stated they have put more locals on the Do Not Invite list than any other casinos in the Greater Las Vegas area.

It was a few months ago when there was a revelation by an elite player.

Since my name was mentioned, I'll make a comment.

I do play a bit at Red Rock partly because I live nearby, although playing at any Station casino isn't all that profitable. Their buffet is very good for the price but the line can be horrendously long. Last Saturday lunch the line was over one hour long. The handicap line is usually much shorter and the VIP line much shorter still.

An aside: During the recession Stations no-mailed just about everyone who won too much, but I haven't heard of that happening there since then. Contrary to what others have posted here, those who played the FPDW machines weren't restricted. It was just the higher limit players mainly $1 and up. They definitely use theo for mailed offers, so if you play FPDW exclusively don't expect any future offers, but it doesn't mean you're on any kind of black list. I do know some locals who play almost all FPDW and do get very small mailers.
