Most casinos will not tell you the requirements for receiving bounce-back cash/free play. However, I applaud the South Point for making this information known. At one time they even had a sign at the player’s club with bounce-back information.  

A few months ago they did make a major change to the requirements, greatly increasing the amount of coin-in for many of the tiers. There were so many complaints that they lowered the requirements some. Here is the present information you are given if you ask at the players club. These are monthly coin-in requirements for their skip-a-month system. For example, if you put $10,000 coin-in through the machines in September, you will receive the “B” mailer in November, 3 free-play periods for $15 each. 

A+   $60,000   --   4 x $50
A     $20,000   --   4 x $30
B     $10,000   --   3 x $15
C      $2,000    --   3 x $5
D      $1,000    --   2 x $5 

Remember, these numbers are coin-in, not points. Although $1 coin-in does earn one point, on double-points days you will earn twice as many points but your coin-in will be your base points. Base points (and therefore coin-in amounts) are accumulating and displayed on the card reader as you play and give you your balance for that day, no matter how many times you take your card out. However, when you take your card out, the points will be doubled and reflected in your total point balance. 

South Point has some good promotions this month. But remember to check the details. Don’t assume they are the same as in previous promos – casinos love to change things around!   You are limited to earning only TWO gas cards on Mondays.   And double points on Friday are only from noon until midnight.
