CET Quest for Rewards - Vegas

Hi I just got an email today that I earned a badge. I checked out last Friday. I got the 3rd hotel badge. Everything was comped, and I paid no resort fee.

 

I got my gaming badges the next day. They normally came around 4 pm PT.

 

I earned numerous badges on Fri-Sun and I don't have them yet. I signed up weeks ago. Just posting as another datapoint.

 

On Friday I started at PH and walked down to Harrah's earning at least 25 points on machines at each CET property. I also lost $170 playing BJ at PH (so didn't continue with my table games plan) and I have no badges yet at all.

 

Did you opt-in to the quest?

 

Yes, I opted in ahead of time and I put a screenshot of it on the trip report I wrote yesterday.

 

Mine finally showed up today, from play on Friday. No credit for blackjack though at PH, my $170 went super fast so I'm not really surprised.

 

Some (but not all of mine) have showed up, you may want to check again later.

And, for the record, some of those missing are slots/VP so I know I earned them

 

I got all 27 badges for slots and tables. You could do both table and slots on the same promo day or on different days. Depending on your bet, it could take 15 minutes to earn the slot points. Table of choice $10 roulette $100 buy-in played for about 45 minutes to 60 minutes. If you play tables check your points before and after (use the slots to check). There was a couple of times that I was short a couple points and talked to the pit boss to let him/her know that I should of earned more points compared to other properties I played at. It took being persistent to get the time added. I always talked to the pit bosses to let them know about the quest and they seemed clueless about the promo. I made sure I watched them clocked me in and out. You have to be clocked out for your points to show up when you check at the slots. I played at all 9 properties and I only lost about $520 playing tables and slots. To me it was well worth it to get 5400 TC this gets me closer to diamond and I only need 2176 points to get there. I played Saturday-Tuesday and all my badges showed up today.

 

Nice! That's a good good run losing just $520! If you don't mind me asking, what were your TCs like playing roulette? I haven't playing an actual table in years, so I'm wondering with the HE how quickly the TCs flow and if that's a quicker way to get to 25 on tables. Thanks in advance!

 

I played with JenJen, the most I got was 145. That was for an hour of play at $10 a spin. Average was 45 tc's and a few times it was less than 25, but we talked to the pit boss and they would add more time. The key is to check your tc's at a slot before and then after playing to make sure you got at least 25. I came out ahead money wise playing roulette. If I got low at a table I would just start playing the line at 3 numbers and I could cover most of the numbers and come out winning a couple bucks. This kept me playing, our goal was 45 minutes, but we did an hour at a few tables. But initial strategy was straight up on 6 numbers and corner 4. I got lucky at most tables and hit up on a number 3-5 times

 

It was like a roller coaster. Anywhere from 30 TC to 152 TC. A couple times the pit bosses were being generous with time played and bets. Bet $10 a hand for a minimum hour and you're good. I always tried to take my time and play slow to keep my bankroll and the clock going.

 

Thanks! That's the only table game I've ever gotten my SO on. I can play my games at the main haunting spots, but for a few places we'll probably play that since we might not be hang there long.

 

Wow. Big thread!

So unless I missed something...

You can play $10 at the tables for an hour, get 25 points if the pit bosses are generous? So an hour at blackjack? I saw someone say they got 25 playing roulette for an hour, but it seems like you get much much more games (hands) with blackjack in an hour vs roulette where it's like, 5 minutes between spins? Please clarify.

Also, I am under the impression you get a THIRD badge for the hotel/casino if you get 25 on BOTH slots and tables, is this correct?

 

You would earn the 25 tc's faster at bj. I did roulette because I don't play table games, and felt the risk was less. It turned out it was, I was able to do roulette at all 9 properties and came out ahead. If you earn the slot and table badge at each property, then you will receive the property badge as well, so 600 tier credits per property.

 

I am so confused now. I have played blackjack for HOURS in Vegas and seemingly only get like, 10-15 TC... long enough to create an ass print on the seat.

 

I can only afford to gamble, maybe 300 bucks at the most. I am not too worried about this. I did the original Quest for Rewards back in January and managed to hit all the casinos and get my 25 points. Now, I am 900something points away from Platnium. So I just need to hit up a couple casinos, get both 25 in slot and tables and bam, platnium for the first time ever.

 

What bets were you making at roulette to come out ahead? I'm a novice at roulette but want to try it for the quest. I also don't want to lose a bunch. What are the best bets to make to break even or better? How much were you betting per spin? Thanks

 

I played black jack at Bally's last night, $15 a hand average for 45 minutes ended up with 62 points.
Watch the pit boss to make sure you get clocked in. I had been playing 20 minutes when he clocked me in so I asked what my start time was and he said now. I told him I started when the dealer started, he looked at the dealer and she nodded and he went back and keyed something in.

 

I think the key is to check your tc's at a slot prior to playing. Also, I would wait to start playing until the pitboss checked me in. After playing about 45 minutes, I would have the pitboss check me out. Then I would check my tc's again at a slot to make sure I got the 25. I was told that you earn tc's fastest on BJ, then roulette, then craps, then all other table games in that order.
