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.
