I also think AC or Caesars at least has tighten up the machines... I dont have the hits i used to have... many players I ask say the same thing but when you ask someone that works at Caesars they say no! I know a few Slot techs and they say no too. I dont believe it. I guess what I take I plan on loosing but its nice to be able to last the night before they take it all. lol They do also send me a lot of free play coupons and gifts. Real nice trips too.
