Yeah, it is kind of funny that in another thread, Dan Druff referred to me as dramatic, when he goes ballistic over $5 and $10 incidents when he feels he has been wronged.
But that's fine.

This is exactly correct. Casinos have the right to do anything they choose when they offer a free play promo.
Dan Druff specifically said that these promos didn't quite cross into "illegal" territory. But they are misleading. And if 99% of the people walk away feeling they were mislead, screwed or scammed, you have to wonder if such a promotion didn't achieve just the opposite of it's intended purpose. These things are about getting new players in the door, not having players first impression being "that place is a rip off". Not going to get much return customers who feel THAT way.
Just seems to be another of those bad ideas things that comes out of business school, as opposed to when real casino people ran the casino business.
