    I needed to have the term "cash back" defined / explained, as it is not something I personally have come across in my casino play.

    Casinos send me offers for free play, and I can cash in my comp points, but they never offer something specifically called "cash back."

    As for who should run the country: I'm not in much of a position to say as I ALWAYS vote for the Libertarian candidate for every election where one is on the ticket.
    What, Me Worry?

    Caesars used to have CASH BACK until about ten years ago. I'm very surprised that our gaming experts don't know what it is even if they don't currently see it at a casino now.

    Here's a shock: BOYD ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO TAKE COMP POINTS AS CASH BACK.

    Damn, you guys need to step into a casino.

    I knew about that, but not this:

    "Cash back is cash back. There is no conversion rate. If a casino says you get $25 for your play that day you get $25.

    You really don't know what cash back is?

    It is not free play. It is not match play. It is not a loss rebate. You get it win or lose. "

    In fact I still don't know what you are talking about, unless it is money they pay you just to show up, independent of points / comps.
    What, Me Worry?

    V are you for real? Every grandma who sits at a penny slot machine knows exactly what the term cash back means.

    The Boyd system is the same as Stations. You play, you get points, you can use the points for free play or for dining or for CASH BACK. And you experts don't know this?

    Stop being a douche, alan.

    I asked earlier whether it was "accrued points that can be used either for food, lodging, merchandise or cashed in."

    Instead of getting lost in your private reverie and spinning more bullshit you should have said "Yeah, that's it" instead of

    "Cash back is cash back. There is no conversion rate. If a casino says you get $25 for your play that day you get $25. You really don't know what cash back is? It is not free play. It is not match play. It is not a loss rebate. You get it win or lose. "

    That is vintage mendelsonian gobbly-gook, designed to obfuscate, confuse, and spin.

    FWIW, I redeem my acrrued points for food, I've never needed to cash them in (it's nice not to be broke and addicted).
    What, Me Worry?

    Cash back is cash back. It's source doesn't matter. The question asked was simple: do you use it for gaming or for non gaming.

    Your "questions" make it clear you're just continuing to troll me as you have for the past 15+ years.

    And you don’t jackass until you pay your kid back.

    Alan, honestly how do live with yourself knowing he has to read about you gambling all the time?

    What Axel posted above was probably the best suggestion even on this or any other gambling forum.

    The first part is admitting you have a problem Alan.

    Stop shoving it down your son’s throat all the time.

    Due to the 40% food discount at Boyd, I tend to keep the points and use them for food when guests are in town. I believe the 40% discount, a decade ago, was not an every day thing, but now it is. Unless it's also been adjusted for the new comp system.

    I still have a couple of hundred bucks in Boyd and Stations points, which I will try to zero out in December.

    No, I wanted an explanation of the term before I answered.

    As far as me trolling you: I look at it more as disagreeing with and quasi-lampooning you; you're a big boy, you should be able to take it.
    What, Me Worry?

    V not only do I "take it" but I laugh it off. You're a troll.

    Of course I do, V. I hope I keep you from enjoying a good night's sleep.

    I don't really think V's trolling you Alan. I really don't believe he's that much in-tune with what goes on in casinos. You confused him with level A lingo when he doesn't seem to be anywhere near it.

    Where I'm confused is with all this talk about Alan supposedly not paying Jason for some work--what is it, $40k or something? People seem to keep bringing it up whenever Alan irritates them about something else. I've never read all the details about this alleged stiff job, but I've met them both, and it would very much surprise me if there wasn't something very key here that isn't being released.

    This thing about Alan pouring his pensions and SS into the poker machines at the beginning of each month so he can't pay this bill doesn't hold water either. Most of you "AP's" (and strugglers like redietz) who collect food stamps, medicaid, & govt assistance while you waste your time away either in or dreaming about being in casinos, can't relate. But where Alan's worked in his career---they not only have pension plans, they have 401k plans and over the years until you're old enough to start withdrawing, they add up to far more than you people even lie about knowing the worth of other gamblers in your "community".

    So get real here when you throw around these stupid allegations. Know what you're talking about, and realize you're saying this stuff as cowardly anonymous fools.

    Actually Rob I have just a pension plan and social security. But pensions are far superior to 401ks because pensions don't run out.

    The photographers, video editors that I used to work with only started 401ks about 15 years ago. Even with company "matches" they'll be lucky if they put away $300,000. Now, imagine drawing $30,000 a year as a retiree. Yes, you can easily outlive your 401k.

    My own brother who works as a magazine editor and sales director for trade magazines even with a nearly million dollar 401k is worried and he's 60 and is now facing a drop in income due to a change in his industry.

    401ks are not the answer.

    I've been an active union member since I was 20 years old and I've always supported and advocated pensions. 401ks were created by Congress to let businesses shrug off their responsibilities to workers.

    Really, you didn't read the thread(s)?

    Last March Jason started things off by posting the following:

    "Anyone see Alan Mendelson gambling in Vegas recently?

    What was he playing?

    How much in front of him or loaded in the machine?"

    see link to thread: https://vegascasinotalk.com/forum/sh...1006#post61006

    Jason, aka SLaPINFuNK, went on to post about how he'd done some work at alan's request for his father's BestBuys business and that his dad hadn't paid him for the work he'd done.

    Not a lot of money involved: about five grand or so IIRC.

    Alan admitted owing money to his son.

    It was all very dramatic and emotional and at their request Dan Druff soon deleted the more embarrassing portions of the expose'.

    The implication was that Jason posted on this board because he felt his father had issues wherein alan's gambling activities interfered with his effectiveness / ability to pay his debts in the real world.

    The whole thing was quite weird, frankly: what started out as a seemingly public shaming has resulted in them appearing to bury the hatchet and continue as if the whole thing never happened.

    PM alan for the salacious details if you're curious.

    Binion's still uses traditional "cash back." I got a voucher at the players club desk then took the voucher to the casino cage for $.

    Most newer systems let you download it right to a machine for you to keep playing with or cash right out. Take the TITO to a cash out machine.

    At Stations you get the voucher at the players club then take it to the cage. I never tried to download it on a machine and then cash it out... but what would be the point jbjb? You'd still have to go to the cage or a redemption machine.

    Read FAB's post again. He had to go an extra step by having to go to the club booth.

    It's funny. Nevada, Vegas in particular, is where you usually see new games/technology first. But it seems they're way behind the times when it comes to getting cash back from slot/VP play.

  20. #40
    Jbjb I think both methods have the same number of steps:

    Method A
    1. Download free play on machine
    2. Take ticket to cage or redemption machine

    Method B
    1. Get voucher from players club
    2. Take voucher to cage

    I just don't know if you can cash out free play from machines at Red Rock or if it gets returned to your account? I never tried it.
