Mar, 2008 The CB or BBC at Ballys and Caesars on their database pages implies that they are using the same formula. In fact this is not so. Ballys definitely gives more CB(BBC) than Caesars. Estimates are that Ballys is .23 % and Caesars is about .1-.15%. There is great fluctuation at Caesars. At times I've only received about .05% which is why I will not play there anymore. Perhaps Caesars raises its BB % based upon coin-in. Ballys has a more constant rate. Also Ballys datapage lists BBC of .1% good for a year if you earn 4500RC/month. In fact this is not bounceback but is bonus cash redeemable on certain specific days and in some cases is good for 2x/month therefore raising the %.
Aug, 2007 Part 2: My apologies to everyone, there is still a $1 PROG JoB bank of machines in the Park Place Video Poker (in the smoking section). As I mentioned previously, I am working on rechecking the PPVP and Tower Slots areas to make sure the listed information is still current. Part 1: The VP areas in Bally’s Park Place have seen a continuing shake up with all of the 25¢ Pick’em machines moved to the ground floor of the Claridge casino. In addition, the $1 progressive banks of JoB and Bonus Poker have been disabled and replaced with a variety of 25¢ video poker machines. This has been offset to some extent with a $1 8/5 Bonus Poker progressive machine(s?) in the smoking area of the Park Place Video Poker section. For everyone’s information the PPVP area has been split into smoking – the first two rows (I believe) of machines nearest the lobby and non-smoking, which is everything else. The large group of video poker machines located to the right of the Big 6 wheel is all marked as non-smoking. Another item of interest is the current bonus reward credits being awarded. Several people have noted that they were getting zero or very few bonus RC’s when playing JoB. I also noticed this when playing the Triple Play BP progressives. There are some possibilities for this to my way of thinking: 1) Harrah’s is reducing the perks associated with the better paying VP games. 2) The current Choice Rewards promotion going on in August is affecting bonus RC’s. This promotion allows players to select from tiers of gifts depending on the number of base reward credits earned – without using any of the earned credits. Like the 3x cashback promotion earlier this year, I suspect that this promotion is partially funded by reducing the rates at which bonus credits are earned. I am planning on checking the PPVP and Tower Slots area more thoroughly later this month and will post another report then.
