Was there with a friend and his wife last night. Somehow the slot recorded the points but didn't report the loss, ended up being incredibly time consuming and an irritating process. One of the slot attendants was alternating between accusing him of cheating and talking extremely slow so he could understand, including one part where she took out a piece of paper and wrote the number 100 on it so we could understand the concept of a $100 bill. The woman at the cage was worse.

Eventually the slot supervisor came by and said there was nothing he could do, he simply wasn't authorized to give over any money, they didn't have surveillance of the money going in, and to come back tomorrow. Eventually my friend called gaming after over an hour of being jerked around, gaming called the cage, and he finally got paid. The slot supervisor said something like "Well, normally I'd make you guys come back tomorrow out of principle, but seeing as it's not your fault...."

Whole thing was really unpleasant.

I heard this promo ended last Friday, can anyone confirm that?

I played it on Friday and there were signs up that said it was the last day. I haven't been there after Friday to confirm its actually over.

Also heard the same thing but haven't been in to verify.

It's still on the web site but who knows. Anyone want to call and ask? I was planning on going this week.

I would say signs in the casino would be a good confirmation that the promo is over.

My girl and I did the promo in late June / early July.

They had already taken all of the $1 slots out of the promotion, but we found a decent $.05/$.10 slot that we could play for about $10 per pull. We both lost our $1K though.

With the rebate, She won a bit at video poker and I lost a bit, so we essentially broke even.

That casino is nearly dead all day long. If I held a voucher to play the 2nd half of the promo, I wouldn't waste a lot of time getting back there b/c that place doesn't look long for this world to me.

They just sold their Black Hawk, CO casino which gives them years of cash to keep the place open even if it spews. Their credit rating is junk or close to it with negative outlook even with the recent bankruptcy wiping out a lot of debt but they are not going to close up in the next year, they have too much cash on hand. In fact, they are spending $35 million of the sale to improve the property.

I hope they do improve the property. Seems like management is working hard to provide good value/incentives/comps to customers.

Btw, I did the freeroll about a week before it ended and found a $20/pull (2 credits at $10) machine in the high limit slot room that I verified was ok for the promotion. I won but my 2 friend who also played the machine and lost got their rebate.
