I think Specialty slots are those that are Branded.. like Sex and the City, Hangover, Bridesmaids, Friends, and the other Movie type like Batman, Ironman, etc. I'm sure there are others.. but if they are a trademark symbol or someone gets royalties.. then it is most like considered "Specialty"
Thanks! I've been hearing these slots are not good to play when you're trying to earn points.Quote:

with M life - it takes $10.00 to earn a point on specialty slots.. but $3.00 in normal slots to earn a point.. big difference.
@JenJen also ones like buffalo stampede and 88 fortunes and wonder 4 jackpots are considered specialty ... at least at Aria. So it's not only leased/themed ones in my experience. I think even buffalo deluxe at MGM was considered specialty.

I'm going to be in Vegas next week and want to work up my points for future comps. Just don't want to waste my time on those specialty slot. I'm addicted to wonder 4 so I might have a problem there.
Good luck in Vegas Jen Jen!

I think the regular wonder 4 is fine. Just the WW2/Ms Kitty/Buffalo Deluxe one with the jackpots is considered specialty.Quote:

Thanks for clarifying. I normally stay away from the new wonder 4 jackpots, so that shouldn't be a problem.Quote:

Video Poker of course, is a whole different story.
See you soon!
I was wondering about the CET properties, too. Yes, I can't wait to see you and the other gals.Quote:

As far as CET is concerned... Specialty slots do not exist. Same with Grazie. MLife is the only one who does this and I think it was @Evoni who pointed out that you actually earn less tier points at CET than you do MLife. MLife you spend ten dollars(coin in) you get 1 "HGS point(base point) . I think it's called) but ten tier credits. I noticed this when I was playing this weekend. That although the session points were low. My tier score was jumping way up. CET you put $10 coin in and you're only earning two Tier Credits and 2 Reward Credits.
I thought MLife was ripping me off till I read more carefully and understood better that their earning is a lot quicker tier wise than CET. Reward credit wise not so much. My personal opinion Grazie gives you the most for your money.
Based on what I saw in Vegas @Jen Jen all the specialty slots are now labeled as such. They will state $10 for every 1 point. Again that means base point not tier credit. So tier credits are earned on a 1:1 ratio.
At our local Souring Eagle, you earn comp $s much faster than 'points' which can be used for FP, and they have some progressives where you can't use your FP.
Basis for their points is .50c = 1 point.
Thanks everyone for your replies. Like everyone else I want to get the best comps for my money.
