Are there any GOOD experiences with the Terribles Coupon?

I have read a number of posts of how difficult it is to A- redeem the coup...B - find machines that accept the rebate and C- decent VP that accepts the rebate. I'm curious if anyone has any good stories about the $100.00 Terribles rebate?

I.e. Good Vp that took the rebate...easy exchange with a boothling...smooth transiton from loss to win?

T- 15!!

We had no problems using the coupon back in November. We accutally used it 2 times. We had brought our boys to LV for their first time for Thanksgiving and I bought them the $5 trial end of the membership which got them the coupon (they even printed it for us at the LVA office). The kids couldn't afford to play that much so we played on their coupon/card the first time we went out to Terribles. Just couldn't loose the $100. Hubby left with a tidy little gain and I left with a couple extra hunnies in my pocket. Kid were able to redeem their point for a couple nice gifts. Second trip we used the coupons in our name---I was not so lucky this trip and blew through my $100 in about 15 minutes (OUCH). Went to the booth and the only responce from the boothling was wow that didn't take you long to lose. Loaded the free play on my card and I headed out to find another machine. Ended up leaving down $2.50. Hubby won again.


We had no problems using the coupon. The girls at the booth knew exactly what to do/use the coupon. You do have to put $$ in the machine before you can download the free play--but they give you directions when you are at the club. There are a handful of machines that do not accept the free play, but they are clearly marked. I believe the machine I redeemed the free play on was a 9-6 DDB machine at quarter level. good luck on your trip.

I wrote about my great experience with it back in May. It led me to move from quarters to dollars while Terrible's covered my losses. I wound up hitting a good hand on VP.

To make it worthwhile, you have to essentially hit quads b4 (or a get a big win if you decide to play reels, which I don't recommend) you lose the hundred. It
does make it easier to play a higher denomination than you normally would, and then you can revert back to a smaller level, when and if you lose the 100 and
are playing off the free play. My daughter hit 4 7's while playing $1 Video Poker about 2/3 of the way thru and cashed out $285 for a profit of $185. I believe someone
last year posted they hit a royal flush on the $1 machine for a 4k payout.

There have been problems printing the coupon, but as previously mentioned, if you go to Huntington Press while in town, they print it for you in about 5 seconds.

Great opportunity for a big win, without a great deal of risk. You can lose, but if you play it right your max loss would be 20-50 and you can reduce that range by playing small
denominations like .25 or .05 video poker.

Sorry I did not directly answer your ??'s. The people at Terribles know this program well, after some early kinks, it now operates smoothly. There are a few machines that may not work, but that is also
easy to determine. Easiest way to keep track is pick one machine, put in a $100 bill, and play to you see felt. Or keep using the TITO on the same hundo and move around to other machines. The machines I
use are the $1 progressives in the middle of the casino. They have a variety of VP games on this bank. As for pay schedules, they are probably avg., I will give up some on the Full House/Flush area to get the
extra on a progressive if I can hit one of the big hands. Personal choice. Hope it all works out for you.

Thanks to all 3 of you for the feedback. I was getting a lot of gloom and doom about the promo, Glad I asked! I can live with 9/6 DB!!

Well, I had a very good experience with this promotion last October. I was in Vegas for four nights with my wife, daughter and grand-daughter and "snuck away" from the family for a couple hours on a Friday afternoon and went to Terrible's to use this coupon. I had no trouble at all at the Player's Club with the coupon. A very friendly person took the coupon, checked my I.D. and told me to come back for the freeplay after (if) I lost $100.

I planned on playing $1.00 video poker, either 9/6 Jacks or 8/5 Bonus since I had been practicing at home and knew the strategy for both very well. I don't usually have the bankroll to play at the dollar level, except for an occasional "potshot," but having the loss rebate gave me the chance to play for larger stakes. I planned to play until I won $100, at which point I would take my profit and move on, or until I lost the $100, and would then use the freeplay on 25-cent V.P. to recoup some of the loss. I was hoping to catch a quad for a decent payout.

It took a lot of checking of shortpay machines until I finally found a single-line, dollar 8/5 Bonus Poker machine. I fed in a $100 bill and started playing max credits. After about 15-20 hands (I was ahead $5.00), I was dealt three to a Royal in clubs and drew the other two for a $4,000 Royal Flush! I had quite an audience, as the machine was at the end of an aisle near the cashier cage where people were lined up to cash their paychecks.

After I was paid in $100 bills, I didn't feel secure in walking out to my car right away, since so many people had observed the jackpot and the hand-pay, so I went to play some blackjack. I won on a match play coupon and ended up winning another $65 on blackjack.

Now, I know that what happened was just luck, but the fact is that I went there specifically to use this promotion and probably wouldn't have been there otherwise. Also, I wouldn't have been playing at the dollar level without the promo.

I took the entire $4,000 home with me.
