Sad Saturday. I won $13 on $25 BP FP. First session ended with a max basic quad; -$19 net. I lost $25 table FP rolling a three craps. MS lunch. I played $2,040 Harrah’s coin in for $0 net. Third session at Bally’s was brutal, -$120. 45 TCs. Their machines do 1 TC/$50, so $2,250 coin in there. A lot of $5 JOB; paid. Net: -$120.

Bummer. FAA Looks like the policies at Mohegan Sun have changed so I will not be able to maintain Soar status without going broke. Looks like it will be nickels for me until my welcome wears out. Foxwoods has now picked up most of my business, but I like the Mohegan Sun casino so much better. Anyway, going to be tread lightly for 2020.

Olds was it Mohegan that pulled your rooms or did that get reversed?

BTW that new years dinner looked great. The shrimp looked lobster tails

I only get a few mid week rooms now. Kind of hard to believe with 2m coin in a year. Bottom line is they hate vp players especially those that play 99 percent games

Dissing VP seems to be everywhere.
I get all the rooms i need, but within the top card here they have 4 or 5 levels, and it is very obvious that they pigeonhole us to the lowest two levels at best. Slot and table games earn points at double our rate.
As i mentioned before i am considering going back to 21.

Yep I am the lowest level of the soar card. I get no points at all for the vp 99 percent games i play. I predict the casinos are going to learn a lesson the hard way. Many many of the new loud glitzy slots are just going unplayed at Mohegan Sun. At least at Foxwoods, I get points I can spend there. It’s not really worth it though. About 500 bucks coin in for a point worth a dollar or fifty cents if you cash it in

Successful Saturday. I won $20 from Bally’s BP FP, increased to $45 and given back. I lost $50 on the next machine. Still not breaking up those bills. Third machine the charm. Within ten hands, a $160 BP Aces! $15 comp Guy’s BBQ lunch. I walked to Resorts and back. Two buck DD latte. I cautiously returned to Bally’s. -$18 on first machine. FHs in two and three to crawl back. Then a $25 quad on the fourth! Immediately left town. Net Day: +$105. 13 TCs.
NB: I really just want to document my play here without tangential bs commentary. Please respect my wishes.

Your exchange with Tech is graffiti; digital pollution. I’d like to keep this thread lean, clean, streamlined.
