MIA: 6 FP machines by the sports book

The A.C.E. Rewards players card can be used at Arizona Charlie's Boulder, Arizona Charlie's Decatur and the Stratosphere. A maximum comp balance of $400 is allowed. No limit on Cashback balance.

Ultimate Rewards is now A.C.E. Rewards, and "Action Cash" has been replaced by a new cashback program. It now takes $1 to earn a point on slots, $2 on video poker and $8 on positive video poker at all ACE properties. 600 points equals $1 cashback. There will also be a weekly mailer with additional cashback and food comps for active players.

The amount of coin-in required to earn a point on decent games has increased frequently and dramatically at AZ Charlie's Decatur (and probably at AZ Charlie's Boulder and Stratosphere) in the last couple of years. It's a "don't ask, won't tell" situation that doesn't sit well with me. We no longer investigate the changes or play there.

ACE removed two of the joker machines this morning and replaced them with Men in Black slots. The six remaining full pay jokers (4000 royal) have had their points REDUCED AGAIN. Now $125 in gets only 70 points -- this is down from the recent 100 points for $125 coin in. The above six machines were moved last month from the area by the Philly Steak deli to an area by the Sportsbook.
