When I asked the slot host, she said, "We no longer send physical mailers to out of town guests." Fine, I said, but why have I NEVER received a mailer? As in, EVER? She said, I don't know. Then I said, OK, why don't I receive email offers? She said, I don't know. Then I asked, since I evidently WAS getting offers until fairly recently, why was I never told about them--why did I have to ask? She said I don't know. Then I asked, why am I getting no offers at all now? She said, your play isn't sufficient. I asked, why, it's been sufficient for over ten years. She said, we've changed our marketing approach.
I'll BET you have, sweet cheeks! The only thing I can think of is that I play EXCLUSIVELY the best VP they offer, but they're not sophisticated enough to chart the accuracy of my play, are they? It couldn't be results, as overall, I've done just slightly less than expectation--so I'm not tearing up the track or anything like that.
Another possibility is that since my best offers came after I had a horrible trip, while conversely, when I hit big I didn't get jack shit for a while, the last five trips being "revenue neutral" might have produced a worse result than if I'd won, lost, won, lost, etc.
It has to be because you play NSUD exclusively if that is what you are doing?. I mix and match my play a bit. I will say, on the rare occasions I have had big trips, I too got no mailed for a quarter but then it came right back.
And I do get physical mailers every quarter. No emails though. I truly think I still get offers is because I go 4-6x a year though.....I think it is as simple as that really.
I'd suggest playing some JoB multi line from time to time.....or even super times bonus poker. You aren't giving up that my EV in $30K through the machines and the games can be a little more fun. There are other games around there too that can "throw them off a bit." The best thing about SP is they do give you a fighting chance and just earn most of their $ by having the place jammed. Kudos to them!
They definitely are not charting accuracy of anybody's play.
