There is over 150 AP Machines that I know of and probably more I don’t know, I doubt mgm is going to ban every single ap machine from comps . Probably just the main ones everyone hunts, regal riches, ascension, hex, etc.
Per the video, MGM is not banning ANY machine from comps. It is analyzing the player history. If that player is only playing AP machines and realizing a actual win rate far above what the machine is set for, then that individual player doesn't get comps any longer.
If a random slot degen only plays Ascension but realizes a win rate in line with the machine set hold, that player will continue to get FP, comps, etc.
Basically MGM is setting it up such that AP players get the same whether they use a card or not. MGM is agnostic to the AP player "winning" on those machines because the machine profit is the same. It is just the distribution that is skewed. What MGM doesn't want to do is pay those AP players via the non-cash card benefits for taking advantage of the system.
The idea of the non-cash awards based on cards is that MGM is paying the player X% of the machine or game hold. If the playing is just playing 'randomly' then if their machine of choice holds 10% of coin in and and MGM then 'returns' 2% of the coin in back to the player, the machine actual hold is 8%.
But if the AP player is effectively reducing the coin in hold for their play to 1% on that machine and MGM was still paying them 2% of coin in as card rewards in FP, comps, food credits, etc. MGM is losing 1% on them. That is what they are trying to stop.
