Free play doesn't last forever, nor does comp whoring.
Over the past two years, my free play offers from Pechanga have steadily decreased. The first decrease came after a nice run of big winners.
Then, when I started to only "play through" the free play and cash out, the free play offers decreased even more.
For the last several months the weekly free play was reduced to $50. Today in the mail came my weekly offers for July -- one FIVE DOLLARS per week. For $5 it's not even worth pulling into the self park garage, let alone driving an extra half mile (round trip) off Pechanga Parkway on my way to Rincon.
But I am not surprised, nor am I disappointed. The truth is comp whoring and betting only free play money can't last forever. When I expressed this opinion on the LVA message board I was burned at the stake for telling those comp whores that checking into more than one hotel simultaneously, and milking multiple casinos for their free play and rooms and other comps could not and would not last forever.
