I don't understand: isn't Rincon considered as being on the West Coast??

CET isn't manipulating Diamonds to become Seven Stars with cheap gifts and smiles--not at all. Why? Because for the most part, they can't. It takes a fortune worth of play to go from Diamond to SS, and the vast majority of Diamond players either can't afford the huge amount of play, or they have little interest in going to and staying around casinos as much as it takes to hit the top. Since I received my SS card after the high limit binge I went on, I've been getting as much of the CET junk mail and online hook offers as the rest of SS nation, but none of it makes my palms sweat like the rest of you because to me it's all about winning--and not the stupid consolation prizes. And this talk about how "oh so special" the hosts are....the hosts are a big part of the problem you're all crying about, for God's sake. Wake up. The more a SS player digs in , the more they'll end up abused. Just read this forum for proof.
