    The woman next to me the other night when I had my 1st 500TC (yea me) day said that exactly. She seems to have poor luck when she uses her card.

    I would agree with this. Last time I was at windsor I tried to go to the buffet. The diamond line was longer than the regular line.

    Also my local ish casino at joliet, there are so many diamonds!

    That is an anomaly. I go to the buffet at Windsor 2-5 times a month and I have never seen the diamond line longer than the Plat/Gold line. When there was hot food the DL was sometimes long not now however.

    I was called a fool using ours at Soaring Eagle years ago. I was so dumbfounded all I could do was laugh.
    You know management can flip a switch on you a friend of a friend whose cousin buses dishes in the buffet told me. People are just funny.

    I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. I’m sure casinos can specifically target a guest and machine you’re on. I’m also sure it isn’t legal. Heard of a local casino that manipulated the slot payout and got fined about $3M but they probably still turn out ahead on profits.

    I've seen the hotel check-in line for Diamond at Windsor be longer than the general check-in line, but we're talking about 3 people in Diamond vs 1 person in general.

    Just received a email/promo from TR i guess for locals only? 5x tier multiplier from now until Dec. 23rd which WILL count for this years score. Am sitting at 14k and was only going to get the 15k to keep my diamond status and wasn't planning on going for the 25k but this promo is to good to pass up, anyone else get this? Will only take roughly 60 hours of live poker to get the additional 10k which is a great deal/promo.

    Seems way too easy/good of a deal, anyone else get this promo and is there some fine print/catch im missing?

    Manipulating the overall slot payout % required by the state is possible if the casino is willing to pay the fine .
    It may be a business decision.
    On the other hand, targeting a guest on a specific machine is way too much of a stretch. Not happening !

    When I was at Windsor last time for dinner, the Diamond line for Legends was longer then the regular line. It was a show night and honestly 25 min earlier when I walked by there was no lines for either.. but when the lines start to form I often see the diamond line longer then regular lines at windsor

    I could use that offer but I did not get it. I need 3k more for 25k.

    Yes people are funny because people tell the truth, which is funny in the age of FAKE NEWS.

    As a counterpoint, last Thursday, after the Three Days Grace / Nothing More show, I went straight to Legends, and there were about 8-10 people in the regular line, no one at all in the Diamond line. I got right in.

    Granted, just a single example, and the demographics of a rock show are likely different than other nights.

    I don't think it is the demographics of a rock show.
    Over the last 15 years I have walked up to lines in Las Vegas and AC where the Diamond line is longer than the regular line.
    I have also walked up when it is way shorter.

    When the hotel is full of invited guests for big weekends ,special events ,NYE,casino tournaments etc. there is a good chance the diamond line will be longer.
    Mid week when nothing is going on it will be shorter.
