Riviera $1000 loss rebate

This deal WAS absolutely legit and a complete monster, but as predicted it was simply too good and they got burned. It might still be an okay play, but you'd want to check the slot club beforehand to verify the rules.

It remains to be seen whether the full free play is forthcoming and what the play limitations might be in the future. Assuming the computer doesn't "lose" your information.

Why so skeptical? I have seen more than a few promotions die quickly once the casinos realized they were too good, but have never personally been denied something I was promised. I'm not trying to be rude, just curious. Have you been ripped off by a Riviera (or other casino's) promotion?

Not exactly, but it seems to be routine that the actual terms of many promotions are misrepresented. I don't normally do promotions that are contingent on a promise in the future from the casino because I simply don't have confidence in their promise.

me either.
you get $500.00 FP right away and the other $500.00 on or after the 3rd day of the next month good for one year (sounds to me like "Bring me the broom of the wicked witch.." but for those who wanna chance it, be my guest. The place is a dumpity dump dump. I was there once in the late 90's- I swear I saw the chalk outline of a body on the carpet

For $500 or so in EV, I don't mind jumping through a few hoops.

Soooooo... Has anyone done the Riv promo yet???

Amen Grasp! I think we have a different way of evaluating promos than some on this thread. I am going to stop by the Riv on my July trip and look into this. Never mind the chalk body outline...I will step over the body itself if I see a good play here.

This is a good deal for those who are going to play slots there irregardless. But I bet the hold on their slots is prohibitive, for me, anyway. So slot club access is 24hr?

It's been 2 years since i played there. This deal may bring me back. I could play dollar slots instead of quarter...play all the new titles that usually eat me up and even play at max bet for a change on some of the new machines.
The only downside I can see is if the freeplay you get from the rebate is limited and you cant run it through a safe VP machine to get it back out....or if they use the fine print that states they can discontinue the promo at anytime...1 day before my 1 month 3 day wait is up to get the other 50%....how else could you get screwed? I mean they have the promo in writing and you get 50% the same day.....so unless you wait over a year and don't claim the other half you really can't lose much.
I really would like to hear more peoples thoughts on this since i'm going this weekend (for 4 days) and will use the $200 even the odds promo at tropicana and maybe this one as well.
