Interesting. Honestly what this guy is claiming makes a lot of sense. Mgm is sharp enough. It would be trivial to pick off APs abusing the FP. Looking at w/l stuff works but looking at the ratio of good machines to bad machines would be far more accurate and wouldn't pick off a problem gambler who has run good.

Bellagio gave me free weekend rooms and I have 0 status with them. I was surprised. Well free as in resort fee free.
My take is that since MGM didn't want to take the risk of banning someone because of their ethnicity (asian), since it is illegal (lawsuits reduce profit to a degree), they decided to use highly correlated variables as a substitute to achieve an approximate solution to asian campers. So querying the MGM loyalty card database for people who only play Buffalo Ascension, Buffalo Diamond, Regal Riches, Wolf Run Eclipse and other asian campout mainstays with team money or team free play, they can get rid of a large number of asian campers. Personally, I would have refined the query to also include Rocket Rumble.
Yea but campers can still make $ but no FP. I would not expect this to cut down on Asian campers that much. Mgm can do it all administratively and it wouldn't take much to see real benefits. No need to get low level employees even involved outside of memos to players club staff. I'd love to know the mix of factors they used for this .. there is so much algorithmic profiling they could do. Anyway I feel like I shouldn't talk about this much but that's the good part of discussions being buried in stupid threads such as this one.
