Plus, they give great monthly comps: free dinners, slot play, show tickets. Stations doesn’t even come close.

Yes, I do have a grudge against Stations. I used to go there quite frequently. Until their bankruptcy proceedings, when I noticed their machines turned noticeably cold. They stopped giving away decent comps, too. So, I switched casinos. Now that the proceedings are over, they want us locals back. A recent article in The Sun stated that they reinstated looser video poker payoffs, with the implication being that they DID tighten up their machines. (As a side note, I never noticed a change in the posted paytables. Is that legal???) Sorry, but I’ll continue to frequent places like Suncoast where my play is appreciated.

Stations may love us locals, but they treat us like crap.

We just lost point equity!

I am “high end” Diamond, usually earning around 30,000 points or so – roughly 20,000 points more than it takes to become Diamond. So it would be nice, and perhaps an incentive, to strive for Seven Star – IF the points were rolled over. Seems Harrah’s is making a mistake by not doing so.

Another comment on Harrah’s (Caesar’s), if you will excuse me. Harrah’s is probably making a big mistake by either (a) not reducing the amount of play needed for 7 Stars; or (b) not increasing the amount of play needed for Diamond; or (c) they need another tier in between. There’ just too huge a gap between Diamond and 7 Star.
