Santa Ana Star Promotion Coming Up

I'm a long ways out looking in. And a lot of things have to be verified. But it looks to me this might be a workable promotion.

For starters, there is the $100,000 Snowbunny Money promotion that runs from January 12th to February 28th. Its a drawing promotion. Tickets are based on action. Every Saturday five winners receive cash or freeplay. There are 7 Saturdays in the time frame. So they would be giving away about $14,000 every Saturday unless the drawing is structured differently. This needs to be verified.

According to vpFREE2, with the slot card, $2 in action gets 1 point, 500 points = $1. This would be .1% cashback. This needs to be verified.

The comp works the same way. 500 points = $1. This needs to be verified too.

vpFREE2 says there are $1 and $10 9/6 Jacks. This also needs to be verified. And it needs to be verified that these machines are eligible for the promotion and card benefits.

500 points gets one drawing ticket.

Along with the Snowbunny Money promotion they have their ongoing promotions

Mondays: Those 50 and older get 5X points, plus 50 players win $50 freeplay, $5 off the buffet.

Wednesdays: Everyone gets 3X points and 3X entries, and $33 hot seats (3 per hour from 12 to 8PM)

Thursdays: Everyone gets 4X points, $4 off the buffet

All this needs to be verified too.

Another thing that needs to be verified; are you restricted to one winner per drawing?

And the action you run might get you some great mailers.

Its not enough to get me to leave my happy Montana home. I would have to give up my income here to go and play it. But someone else might be interested.

One thing I forgot. It needs to be verified that the 9/6 Jacks games are eligible for the promotion and card benefits. So I'm going back and put that in the OP.

The $1 Slant Tops have 4 choices:

9/6 JOB
8/5 BP
DDB and
DW

I'm guessing the last 2 are FP too.

There are NO points offered on these 8 machines.

Also, I play lots of BP and the pay tables are light.

Meaning, instead of delineating for K-5/4-2 and Aces, it's a single pay for any 4 of a kind.

I think this decreases the payout somewhat.

You can also switch between $1 and $5 denominations.

The NO points on those machines would kill it for the promotion. vpFREE2 lists a $1 9/7 Double Bonus Progressive. Do you know anything about it? Do you get the points on this game?

ten2win, another question. The Santa Ana Star used to have a linked bank of Flush Attack and several stand alones. This is 7 year old information. Can you confirm that those machines are gone?

There are is no DB on those Game King Slant Tops.

They do have the newer video VP multi game machines in $1 and $5 denominations.

Those may have the DB you refer to.

I would have to check on the Flush Attack machines.

I've been here for 8 years now and don't recall seeing them.

The newer VP multi game machines do pay points @ 1 per $2 played.

No progressive.

The older Game Kings are linked to the progressive.

If you find any old quarter stand alone Flush Attacks in the place it would be a much better deal for you. I was told they were 6/5 so they would come in at 99.74%. But the general public plays the game so badly that the house still makes 3 or 4% on them.

I would like to know if there are any linked flush attack left anywhere?

I'd pay for that information (depending on location and strength).

I wouldn't run and play them, however It might inspire me to take a road trip and scout along the way for nostalgic reasons. or an excuse for a mini vacation.
