Hi I don't recall if someone already posted another thread for this but thought I would share just in case.
Another promo to get a jump start on tier credits for next year. Make sure you opt-in if you are playing in CET before the end of the year
@treyster this will be good for your 8 days in Vegas - don't forget to opt-in if you haven't already

20 percent free, not bad but I think they could do a lot better like an even match. 20 percent match will not get me anywhere near Diamond, They need to sweeten the pot if they want my play.
I still have not seen anything about the 5k bonus for next year for reaching Diamond A1. That was a nice boost.

I do not focus on points, I just play and focus on winning to keep playing during my 5 hour stay from the bus whenever I go to a total reward casino or any casino. Whenever I do try to focus on points, I have a bad casino day and with total reward casinos it is hard to not focus on points. One issue with total reward casinos point system I do not like though is that you have to play 5 dollars on one machine to get a single point before moving to another machine and if one spin short, the point starts over again. Total reward casinos I think are the only casinos that do not save the amount needed to get a point when moving from machine to machine. Also for the free play, you have to put the free play in 5's only and play the whole 5 bucks. Also if short, I have no idea where the free play goes. I have had free play left that I did not use under a dollar because I did not want to lose even 10 cents of my winnings that did not go back on my card due to the 5 dollar free play minimum rule.
Mon, the CET properties I play at allows you to cash out unplayed free play. You have to hit the cash out button twice. The first kicks out any wins that can be cashed out, then the second is the remaining free play. That voucher can be played on a different slot, but cannot be redeemed for cash.Quote:

CET allows you to move from machine to machine and save partial points from previous machine to new machine. We do this all the time. If you want to NOT know where you stand try Seneca where $170 coin in equals 1 point and they do not show any partial points at all. Have to go to rewards desk to find out if you are close to a whole point. Partial points not saved day to day.
Spending $170 on one machine to get one point? That is crazy, I guess Seneca really wants your money I would not want to stay on a machine spending $170 to get one freaking point if the machine I am on is not paying. I have never been there and I do not think any machine there will make me want to play that much to get 1 point unless I am on one that keeps paying on and off, which is hard to find. It is hard to find a machine that stays alive for a long time without dying and becoming money hungry.Quote:

Reason is because I know the free play is in 5's, 10's, 15's, 20's, and so on and free play goes away if card taken out when not done and does not show up back on card. I play free play in 5's at harrahs and real money too and I wish some machines I can play it in 3's or play 3 dollars on a machine without having to worry about missing out on a tier point. I know at one of my local casinos, its 4 dollars a point and the first point shows up faster if the point is not finished on previous machine letting me know that the points do transfer and do not start over after getting off a machine and hopping to another.
When I take my card out if my free play is not all done (I play free play in 5's due to the reason I mentioned), the free play goes away and does not come back on card and I believe it is because minimum free play that can be used is 5 bucks and cannot put in a dollar or 2 or 3 free play like at other casinos. What I do a lot as one example, I put in 5 dollars free play in Genie Power that is 54 cents a spin... Whatever I win in 9 spins I cash out and then I see there is 14 cents remaining in the credits that cannot be cashed out. I do not want to waste 40 cents on one more spin of my winnings on that particular machine I do not want to play anymore to use the last 14 cents because I could end up losing 40 cents of my winnings with a dead spin; therefore, I just take my card out and the 14 cents is supposed to transfer back to my card (credit says 0 on machine telling me it should be back on card).Quote:

I am afraid that if I win at the beginning of my free play that I will lose the rest I put in and I make myself play the rest out, which is why I only do free play in 5's there. I do not want to have to use the whole 5 dollars free play if I win on the first few spins because majority of the time, the rest of the spins are dead and useless.
@camon -- The partial points carry over on the central computer system. You normally cannot see it on the machine itself.
$ per point doesn't matter (like in Seneca). At Seneca the top tier status is just about equal to the coin in per year as CET. 8 to 10 points per day at Seneca will get you very nice comped room and FP. Seneca is a nice property. Do agree that So. Calif. is a nice resort and we have spent a few days there each year we travel to that area.
For FP we normally break down the total into increments and then play VP in those increments. Normally we get back in cash 90+% and then use that money for slots. This way we get the most TC for the FP amount. (Still lose it all in the end hhh).
