They should hire the resident Encore parking guru from this forum!*

Valet, dude. In the garage you risk the high probability of being knifed, being the victim of a hit and run and/or someone pulling a gun on you because you honked at him one too many times on rt 2 ?

Looks like I finally lost all the monthly reward & choice points. Only get two free table bets now that I never use. Only play MTTs, slots & video poker on my trips.

I'm still at the gold member level even though I have not earned enough of the required points to keep it over the last 6 months. I've been getting grandfathered in like this for a few years.

Anybody else losing/downgrade their point rewards?

Any hope of get reward points to return next month?

Downgraded my room offers, points, etc. What I can’t understand is it’s for November when that place is a ghost town. Poker only. like you I didn’t earn enough points for gold but still kept my status. Buffet here I come!

Foxwoods has been reducing their comps and offers. I was gonna make a trip out there with my poker buds but we've decided on Encore instead. Much nicer there anyway.

I've seen online ads for Foxwoods Online Casino. Not gonna click on it; anyone know how it works and whether it's legal?

I haven't looked into it deeply but from what I understood it's been running for a while and isn't "real gambling", it is more like sweepstakes.

Stopped in tonight just to do my free bets and saw a sign that said Fox Tower is now completely smoke free and at the roulette table, the cocktail server denied a guy Guinness until he showed his platinum card. So FW is also being cheap, even to guys betting $100 a spin at roulette

If it's a drink that they have to go to Centrale for then yes they'll only do so for a higher tier card, been that way for years (I've done it many times and always had to show my card). Not sure if that normally includes Guinness or not.

I didn't know either. What type of upgraded drinks could you get? Redbull?

I don't know the list of inclusion. I've always just asked for 1 of the draft beers that's available at the bar. I also only did it when I was Diamond so I'm not sure if the list differs by card.

Applies to every blackjack game I could find, including stadium blackjack ($5 minimums) and up. All the 6-5 felts have been removed from the tables. Twin River has a similar offer posted on a billboard on a building near exit 12 of I-93.

Sadly I don't think enough players know to even look for it and will drive out of their way to get the better odds.

If they are betting $25 a hand or planning to play for a while they definitely will. 3/2 instead of 6/5 makes for a big difference over the longterm. I will never tip a dealer at a 6/5 table either.

It’s a convenient excuse.

A kid last week hit the BJ progressive for 433k. He gave the 4 other players 1k each and gave the dealer nothing. Some people just don’t like to tip

Have some self-control and with go somewhere with better odds or have some understanding that the dealer didn’t set the odds.

If you are getting a couple free nights a week for poker, what level of play on those nights is required to keep getting them? Will playing tournaments do it or does it have to be a certain number of hours of cash? Thanks in advance
