South Point March Promo

Received the March mailer yesterday. Nothing much.

Every Monday in March, earn 500 same day points on slots or 1,500 points on video poker (between 3am & 11pm). Swipe at kiosk and get a "mystery" free play from $5 to $100.

Capped at one free play swipe/spin per person ?

Yes, capped at one.

Their promos continue to slide.  But at least they have some.  

Well, making the safe assumption that you get the $5 the vast majority of the time, this is a +0.33% EV play, which is in line with everything else they've offered in the past. But the alarm bell is how limited it is compared to past promos. They're gradually tightening up.

Luckily,  my husband and I were not in the vast majority. We each got $25!

What we do here to ultimately evaluate a promo is to wait until enough players have used it and reported here. If a $25 award like both of you received is more than very rare, we can estimate the worth of the promo at more like $10, or 0.66 percent. But until we have enough data, I assume that you usually get the lowest prize.

FWIW I got $50 for both Mondays. I'm a local video poker player. My weekly free play this month is $10 per week.

For the purposes of comparison, could you tell us how much action you give them on a weekly basis, and on which/what kind of machines?

The promo would obviously be worth a visit if the prizes averaged in the $25 range. And if you go there on a regular basis anyway...if I lived there, I'd do a once-a-week buffet and VP run regardless.

$10 a week free play is better than you would get from Boyd or Stations. It seems chintzy in comparison to what you used to get, but at least it's something.

Probably worth making Mondays your day to play at least. 

I consistently play $20k - $25k per month on the three best video poker games they offer. Normally get $60 free play per month.
