PLAYER'S EDGE:
Riviera offers attractive incentive for new members
The Riviera Players Club is running an attractive new member promotion. New sign-ups can collect five times cash back for up to the first four days of enrollment, so instead of $200 coin-in on slots and $400 coin-in on video poker earning $1, you'll get $5 for the same action. Players can earn up to $500 during the four days.
Saturday evening, Main Street Station will give away a 42-inch plasma TV, a trip to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii, a $500 cash, and five $100 cash prizes. Tickets for the 8 p.m. drawing (you must be present to win) can be earned playing the machines with your players club card or at the tables. The Pro Bowl prize includes airfare for two to Honolulu, accommodations and two tickets to the game.
We received calls from readers complaining about last week's Las Vegas Hilton item. The callers felt we did not stress enough the huge amount of additional coin-in required to earn reward dollars at video poker (much more than the $125 coin-in per dollar stated in the casino's literature). We thought we did, but we will do it again. Unlike other slot clubs in Las Vegas, the new Resorts International Player's Club does not award points or reward dollars based on one or two countdown formulas, but instead uses a variety of formulas that vary from machine to machine. Looser video poker games, such as 9/6 Jacks or Better, require several times more play than most of the slot games.
