New player slot club rebate at the Tropicana--$200
Now, you might not be able to collect the second 50% right away, but it's good for a year, so if you're coming back any time within that interval, the second 50% will be available. And of course, if your stay straddles the end of the month, you can just wait until the 3rd of the next month, and pick it up then.
The deal is for new slot club signups ONLY:

At least you've come up in the world from that El Cortez wet dream you always have.
Quote: JerryLoganYou make no sense. First you say you win every trip because you're an advantage player, then you're posting about how to recoup losses.

If someone offers to refund all your money if you lose, that's a free roll. Even YOU can understand that--wouldn't you like to get your money back after one of those $5000-$20000 losing trips?
And my wet dream beats your wet dream any day; mine doesn't have Rob Singer in it (we'll leave the homoerotic implications of Singer being in your dreams for another time).
Quote: teddysYep, thanks for that. And for anybody in the Midwest, Four Winds about 30 miles east of Chicago is offering a $400 loss rebate. That's real losses, not net losses, and they will do it for less than $400. Great promo, bring your friends. It's pure profit.
Yes, though there are some people (including, on this thread) who don't seem to comprehend that. The Advisor mentioned that there were people who thought that the Terrible's rebate wasn't valuable "because you have to lose to get it". Thank God for morons like them and JL--without them, the casinos wouldn't be able to offer the rest of us deals like these.

The possibility of winning without any possibility of losing DEFINES advantage play.

Clerical error. I quoted myself.

You do understand, I assume, that citing yourself as a reference does not increase the validity of a statement. ;-)

Well, it sure beats quoting Jerry.

Very interesting. But kindof a long drive for me. Do you know how long it takes to have the loss
credited back as free play ? Also, does it apply to VP ? Thanks for the info.
You'll get the rebate offer in a week or two, and it is usually good through the end of the next month. The rebate comes in the form of freeplay. I also got a bonus offer of $125 and a free hotel room (a suite!). It is good on video poker but they don't have any decent paytables. The have 8/5 Jacks with a quarter progressive which can sometimes get high. To be honest, I would play slots or keno.Quote: JohnnyQVery interesting. But kindof a long drive for me.

If I stick $200 in a machine at the Trop, get my total up to $300, and then lose a bunch and cash out $100, is that a loss of $100, or a loss of at least $200?
If "actual rated slot loss" is the sum of the cumulative losses, then I think the best advantage player strategy would be to grind away at a low denomination machine. But if you have to actually be down $200 from your buy-in, then I think the best strategy would be to hit a high denomination machine, and go big or go home.
I then took another $100, and betting max on penny slots ($4 a spin?) played it down to about $30, then hit a big win on a Goldfish 2 machine. I ended up +$527, so I didn't need to actually take advantage of the promotion. Of course, if the promotion hadn't existed, I wouldn't have played such ludicrous amounts on slot machines.
Also, I got a $32 meal comp and $5.27 in free play after all was said and done. Bonus!
Quote: travislI went to the Trop on Wednesday and signed up for the promotion. I then put a $100 bill in a slot machine, churned through it, eventually bringing the balance down to zero. I checked with the players club desk, and they confirmed that my loss was exactly $100. Clearly, "actual rated slot loss" is one's net loss.

You actually got the true value of the promotion--it's a freeroll, a chance to win something big. Some players don't like freeroll/loss rebate promotions because they "only get something when they lose". But as your results prove, being able to stick $200 into a slot machine with virtually no loss downside is very powerful. Plus, you got the benefits from the points earned. Nice going!
