Boyd Is Back!!!!

What kind of action and what games are you playing to get an offer like this?

I am (was) a long time Boyd gaming player that has (had) been Emerald for years but the changes, cut backs and stupidity has chased me away.

The reason I ask is because the last time I played at Suncoast we popped in, ran 10k through the machines and my offers are for B1G1 room nights with no additional perks. In the old days I would have gotten 3 nights, $100 food and $100 free play.

You don't even want to know what has happened to my offers at Gold Coast, Sam's Town and Main Street Station.

I bet the difference is we play slots 80% of the time and nickel deuces 20%. I think each stay we put on 20,000 points or so. We do play long hours and have a lot of machines that we know let us play w/o draining us. BTW with Suncoast our play was always was the same but they kept putting our offers at the beginning fairly low but the more we stayed there they kept increasing the offers. Extra comps were also easy to get with the hosts.

Very interesting wording.......so are non-locals not eligible for the cash drawing??? Very curious as we arrive a week from today.......

We too will be there this next week....curious to see how this goes.....

The way I interpret it is that the downtown Boyd's (MSS, Cal, & Fremont) are for local's only. I got the official rules from Fremont's website;

As I'm thinking about all of this, I really think that the Boyd's promotions offered at the Downtown LV Casinos are being restricted to only LV residents because the Downtown Casinos would be what Boyd considers to be "overrun" by non-locals since Boyd caters heavily to Hawaiian customers, many of whom come there in addition to the possibly many Californian residents who could be partaking in this on top of people from elsewhere -- where it is less likely for that to happen at the other locals' casino locations.

I agree RecVP, that could be that exact reason. The times I stayed at California 90% of the guests were from Hawaii.

Thanks for the info. If you're slot players that would definitely make a difference in your offers compared to mine.

I'm still surprised that even with slot play they haven't cut the crap out of your offers though.

My wife gets the larger offer but even when I use my card for extra comps I still received 4 free notes and $60 free play and $20 in food
