Whats the real deal on FREE Drinks in Vegas ?

I didn't have any problems getting free drinks at Paris two weeks ago. If you sit at a bar with video poker, they have the drink ticket system in place. But if you sit at a VP machine 6' away, it was free. My card level was not checked

Yup I was reading some thing about that . part of it is trying to keep the lounge Lizards that are playing at the bar and only playing half of the max line bet down to a minimum . now that make sense to me . At the bar i could see how the bartender could keep up with that . But out on the floor your average waitress don't have the time to deal with that . a points tally system (like they have in ac ) seems like the way to go .
