It's amazing that they continue to do these things while keeping a straight face. What will they give away next, spots on Revel Beach?

You know, we all keep assuming that better management could save this property. Now they're getting close to the line where things are so bad that nobody better will ever want to be associated with the building no matter what they call it.

With the AC homeless population being what it is, stripped down, I think it could be a National flagship Salvation Army location.

Revel used to send me coupons for 10 dollars in free chips. Not match play, not even direct bet. They just gave me 10 bucks and I left lol
10 eyes for an eye. 10 teeth for a tooth. 10 bucks for a buck?! Hit the bad guys where it hurts the most: the face and the wallet.

I get those offers from one of my local casinos. Except it's not even chips, it's just cold, hard cash. You go to the kiosk, log in with your player's card, and print off a voucher that you take to the cashier for cash. It's nice! I thought only high rollers got straight cash, but these come in $10 increments and I barely play at this place.

About 8 or 9 years ago when AC was doing much better Ballys sent me an offer for $1000 cash. There were people there getting much more than me also. You just went into one of the ballrooms, showed your players card and a drivers license and they opened a drawer loaded to the top with hundred dollar bills and handed me 10 of them. Those were the days.

Whatever became of the false advertising charges against the Revel, for burying the "use it or lose it" stream of 20 payments in the fine print?

IANAL, but my perception of those charges is that they were not really viable. I would guess that having it buried in the fine print was good enough to cover their ass from a legal perspective.
Now the cancelling of free play for players who had already lost a bunch: I would like to hear an update on that.

Based on this page:
http://www.bakersanders.com/revel/
It appears that the law firm representing the aggrieved parties in the class action is still accepting new clients for the class action, so I would suggest the case is ongoing.
Okay, I found this:
http://www.rfcexpress.com/lawsuits/other-contract/new-york-southern-district-court/592790/megan-boyd-and-rakeen-henderson-v-revel-entertainment-group-l-l-c-and-chatham-asset-management-l-l-c/official-court-documents/

http://dockets.justia.com/docket/new-york/nysdce/1:2013cv05965/416741
This is the correct case, Attorney Todd D. Muhlstock represents the Plaintiffs. Based on the document list I pulled from RFCExpress, the case is nowhere near being concluded, unfortunately, you have to pay for every individual document. The Justia site simply links to another ECF site.

I had the exact same thought. Was confused for a second. Probably would behoove them to use the name of a different plaintiff in the title of the case...

I was at Borgata from Tuesday through this afternoon and I'll say I've never seen it more crowded on traditionally slower nights than it was this week. In the high limit bj area pretty much every table was full from 7pm thru midnite, and the entire roullette area looked to be full also. Maybe it being Presidents Day week had something to do with it. I never go to Revel but a few people who'd just come from there said it was dead.

It was actually full that day, there might have been only 40 people in the casino area, but there were 3,000 more in the building LOOKING for the casino area.

I used to get cashback from the local casino in Washington State, and all I did was pick it up at the cage and ate a buffet. After stuffing my face I left full and satisfied. Sometimes I used to walk and look at slot machines.
