OK gang, let me tell you the actual M Resort Rebate result from last weekend.
I decided to take Rob Singer's guidance who had suggested that I probably could do the M Resort loss rebate as a "new player." So my wife and I drove the 14 miles south of to M Resort and verify whether my lack of any "Marquee Rewards" club card would allow me to use the Rebate, even though both of us were members of Tropicana Casino's former club card (which now happens to be a "sister property.")
We were told at the M Resort club desk ("Marquee Rewards") that I was eligible after taking my Drivers License and consulting the computer. I was given a card and was told that under the Loss Rebate promotion if I play and lose on any machine within a day (up to $500), I would receive an email "within 14 business days" that would give me a notice that would allow me to play half the loss in free play (within a month of notice) and I could get the other half of the free play within a month after that. I was led to believe it would be one email with both date ranges.
So armed with that knowledge, Wife and I decided I would first play on a highly volatile machine to try to hit it big, up to a $500 loss. Then if I lost, we planned to play the free play on the $2 JOB 9/6 VP machines in the high limit room to convert any free play into cash.
So we walked up to the M Resort High Limit Room which was surrounded by low walls in the middle of the casino. I was thinking of playing the "Top Dollar" machines but there were two couples who were playing the two Top Dollar machines at the one dollar denomination (even though there was also $5, $10 and $25 options). So we walked over to the Double Gold machine just to the left of the Top Dollar machines. I put in $200 and invited my wife to sit down. Here is a photo of that machine and its pay table.
