Do these phrases mean you don’t earn tier credits on these games?

    Hi,

    Need some help.

    Do these disclaimers on certain machines mean that they don’t earn Mlife tier credits, or is it referring to other promotions?

    “This game does not activate freeplay or pointplay”

    “Slot points can not be accrued on this machine”

    Thanks!

    The first means you can't play your freeplay on it. Many progressive machines won't allow you to use freeplay.

    The 2nd means it won't accrue point play or express comps. I don't know about tier credits on these, but I wouldn't count on it. I've never seen a machine that says this though. Maybe something like bubble craps?

    For certain that message is on bubble craps. I still put my card in out of habit.

    I do as well.

    So money on Bubble Craps is a total void?

    Does the money spent get taken into consideration when getting free room comps etc?

    I think that you will still be increasing your theo so it should count against your rooms. But I am not sure. I would put your card in when you play anyway.

    Thanks everyone. Yes, it’s on a bubble craps machine.

    It didn’t seem to earn any tier credits during my play, but I didn’t play that long.

    I’m far from an expert, but with all those disclaimers I’d be shocked if playing them meant anything toward your account.

    Are there other machines that give you no tier credits but do count against Theo or something else?

    I also doubt that there is some hidden benefits accrued when a machine clearly states otherwise. There is a small house advantage in bubble craps so increasingly little reason to give any comp credit. I do notice a small amount of comp credit on bubble craps at Four Queens and CET casinos so you could just play there if you are so inclined. Other places like the Plaza do not even have a slot to insert a players card.

    Bubble craps used to give tier credits but at a really low rate. I guess it's now zero.

    One other thing I noticed. At the Caesars palace bubble craps (I think it was there) even though the limit said much higher, I could only put $10 on the pass line.

    If I tried a $25 chip, it added a $10 instead.

    I thought that was strange.

    Most Mlife blackjack machines (those with big screen with simulated female dealers) don't give anything.
    At CET, usually they do earn points, very low rate though, like $50/TC.
