I'm not sure this is related, but someone I talked to at a casino different than Thunder Valley that does Thunder Valley as part of their route said they saw some Creators duping the elderly and recorded some footage with a smart phone of this and got them 86ed by showing security the footage (the smart phone recording was done by this person and a couple of his or her slot AP friends). This may have catalyzed some of the non-Creator slot APs (possibly even the smart phone persons at a later time per Mickey's post) also getting kicked out - speculation of course.
