I've had quick 500-point sessions on Video poker where I cash in for $400 and it lasts....but in some cases the $400 vanishes with 75 or less points earned. Paigow/craps to get 500 points it's the same thing, very risky. How much are you bringing to get those 500 points? There have been times where I notice I'm a few hundred points away from a larger daily bonus and I'll usually just let it go unless I want to gamble anyway. In the past when chasing bonuses, I've found it can be extremely costly. I think you probably just have to hold your breath and hope the gambling gods aren't too cruel.

If you get Diamond in a day or whatever, say on the 10x multiplier weekend, does it help you for next WSOP’24? Points reset on Jan 1 right, but do you carry whatever status you earned in ‘23 for all of ‘24?

You'd get it for all of 2024. Though if you did DIAD in January 2024, you'd get it for all of 2024 -and- 2025.

Oh cool. So, for someone who pretty much just comes to Vegas annually for the WSOP, what would be the main benefits to Diamond? I’m guessing: lower or no room rates even, no resort fee, free parking, anything else?

I guess it’s a cost/benefit analysis, how much $$$ to achieve Diamond (assuming losses are involved i.e. slots or whatever) versus benefits of having Diamond. That is if you’re not really a Vegas regular who would lean on Diamond status a lot.

$100 celebration dinner

Are they gonna devalue diamond a ton after this promo, and make up another tier above it?

Room rates are based on your play (game/average bet/time), not on your tier score.

If you just come for the WSOP the only real additional benefits are the $100 Diamond dinner and the priority lines (in most places, but not all).

No resort fees is huge.

Diamond is huge for the WSOP. I wouldn't come if I weren't Diamond. You get a Diamond/7 Star only registration section. You go to the top of cash game lines, behind 7 Star. It doesn't affect room rates.

If you did DIAD and weren’t otherwise a regular player at CET, it probably would get you a bunch of free rooms, since your ADT would be very high.

That said, anyone can mostly avoid the lines for WSOP registration by registering for tournaments on the app, and printing registrations at the kiosk. The kiosks usually weren’t even working for me at the WSOP this year, but in this case they’d print the registations for me at the cash out desks without waiting in line.

Adds inches to your dic

Also cut lines for cash games and register for tournaments

How long does new play take to be reflected in your room rates?

At the moment I can stay for $0 on weekdays at Rio but the weekend nights are ~$50. I'll play a lot during 10X multiplier. I hope that will qualify me to stay for free on the next weekend.

So for those of you that have done DIAD, and know others that did, how much did it cost, losses wise? Best year, worst year? Obviously if you luck out and hit some jackpots DIAD could be profitable, but generally what’s the expected loss to get DIAD?

I never did DIAD but once I got 2500 tc in a day and my offers got way better for comp rooms within a day or two. I still couldn't get many comp weekends.
But the less you have been at Caesars properties in the last 12 (maybe 18?) Months the more it will help you bc it's based on ADT.

I obviously don’t have any inside knowledge of whatever crazy algorithms they use, but I’d be a bit surprised if your play over the course of a few days affected their offers that week.

In my experience, they don’t reward people for short-term or infrequent play. It’s very much a “prove it” system, like how they rate you on table games. If you sit down and play 9 hands at $10 and one hand at $100, they will rate you as a $10 player… not a $19 player which is your true average. I think it works the same with play over time. If you do DIAD, they will give you what you‘ve earned for points. But unless you show them that kind of action more than once, they will probably treat you as a drive-by gambler and won’t elevate your status based on that one period.

Nah it definitely rasies it especially if he hasn't visited them much or even better at all.

If you for example played poker at their properties 100 days this year and nothing else then the 5000 TC you earn in one day would barely rasies your ADT so your offers likely wouldn't move.

1500 tc is not "a lot" in CET world. Maybe at crappy properties during a crappy time of year you'll get free weekend days, but I wouldn't count on it otherwise. Weekdays, yes, but weekends are tough.

You can look for my posts when they did 5x, I think it was April. I earned 2500 tc and I think I lost about $700. You only have to get 1500 tc. I would say I ran pretty good, better than average. If you run really good, of course, you can come out ahead.

What’s the best/most used method, high-limit slots?

Depends how much time time you have and risk tolerance

I’ll be playing penny Buffalo Gold lol, I think I can get maybe around 150tc per hour?

If you're grinding slots for diamond, doesn't it make sense to play higher limits? If you're betting 10x as much, the machine payout rate will be higher, but you will be earning points at 10x the rate, right? So betting lower is only for the sake of lowering variance?

I think he asked if playing a few days during the 10x promotion would raise his rating fast enough to get free weekends immediately when he wasn’t rated high enough for those to start with. I don’t think it would, but it all depends on how big he plays and for how long. He could also try and talk to a host about getting his weekend comped.

Would you recommend walking into their office or telephoning them? All my emails come with a host phone number. I guess I can use that.

I don't think he'd get weekends except maybe at the Rio
But he'd likely get weekdays comped and his weekend rates would be a lot cheaper than they're priced at now

Yes you will be earning more tc per spin the higher you play

Whether to play higher or lower and “what makes sense” depends on time you want/have, risk tolerance, whether or not you find slots fun etc etc
