Caesars properties have long given you one tier credit per $10 of coin-in at video poker.
Even their own website says that's still the case:

... but that's no longer true in Las Vegas.
Reports have emerged that you now need $25 of play for one tier credit at video poker.
This is clearly being done to combat the "Seven Stars grinders" -- the ones who play exactly 2500 tiers (to get the bonus 5000) and quit, and who play the highest-return VP machines, in order to earn the valuable Seven Stars level without a lot of cost.
Keep in mind that Seven Stars was originally designed for those with expected losses in the six figures per year, but the video poker people (myself included) have sidestepped that.
I don't blame Caesars for doing this, but I do think it's a bit scummy to do in the middle of the year, thus penalizing those who were on their way (but not all that near) to reaching Seven Stars.
I am hearing rumblings that certain casinos have NOT yet adopted that $25/tier credit thing.
So here are my questions:
1) Are ALL Vegas properties now $25/tier credit for VP?
2) Has this been changed in Reno and Tahoe yet?
3) Has this been changed in Laughlin yet?
4) Has this been changed at the Rincon yet?
If indeed it has changed completely, I will abandon my quest to renew my Seven Stars and just stick with "High Diamond" for 2014.
