The progressives seemed set lower to start on $1 9/6 banks and dealt royal on .25 bonus triple play. I play only $1 9/6 single and triple play and the .25 8/5 BP progs. Cash back is .2% (confirmed from 2 recent trips). Can only be redeemed on return trip ( 90 days) No bounce back ( do not know what .15 in web page refers to) , but instead of old double days I get 2-4 days a month with a $$ reward ( players seem to get $20 - 15). For these games I got connection comps now @ .25% regardless of other activities. In the past Ballys AC would comp at 1% ( dont ask dont tell), but held back comps - taking into account $55+ for comped rooms, and maybe for CB also. But $5000 through on an overnight was enough - likely double that now. Though hosts would always comp me anything but gourmet even if my account was empty - used up from prior play/trip- now there are less hosts with much less discretionary freedom.

The (8) 25c 9/6 JoB machines in Little Joe's VP Parlor have been downgraded to 8/5.

Checked into Ballys. We had a suite which was really 2 adjoining rooms where 1 had a murphy bed and sitting area that could be used as a living room. In my opinion, Bally's is by far the best $1 VP in AC and the only Casino worth the trip compared to MS in CT. I played the bank of 6 $1 3 play by the progressives. These are every fast machines. They have 8/5 BP. I also played the 3/play in the Tower Slots Room. These machines also have FP JOB. I believe these are the only $1 3 play 8/5 BP and 9/6 JOB in AC. I played these machines for hours on both days I also played the $1 9/6 JOB progressives which was at $4600 and the $1 8/5 BP progressive. I played some $5 BP and slots in the Tower Slots Room. They also have 2 $1 MS by the progressive area. I made my usual donation playing the 8/5 JOB. The TITO doesn't work on these machines and you have to deal with the coins. Great gambling over the two days and Bally's but couldn't get a royal. I got 3 SF, lots of 4K and was dealt 4 to a Royal on triple play 3X. Total Ballys results -1700 Lunas: We were comped by our host up front for dinner at Lunas. In my opinion, this was our best dinner. I had the Veal Parm, my wife had seafood and daughter pasta. We all loved our meal. The service was excellent. The baked clams appetizer and bisque was great. Highly recommend Prime Place: The next night we had dinner at prime place. Dinner for 2 comped up front, the other 2 were comped at checkout. The salad bar was great and the high point of the meal. The service was poor, we sat there approx 15 minutes before I asked for a waiter to be sent over. The wine glasses would be empty and we'd have to ask for a refill because they hid the bottle and you couldn't refill it yourself. Each of our filets had an inedible piece of grizzle or fat. Desserts were good. I would pass on this one next time. Legends in Concerts: 4 tickets comped: The show was lots of fun. The singers looked and sounded just like the original. The exception was Elvis, who had a great voice but was the fattest Elvis I ever saw. The singers were Frankie Vali, Nat King Cole, Michael Jackson, Dolly and Elvis. The dancers danced almost every song and were excellent. 4 gorgeous woman and two guys. Not the splash of Las Vegas but much more reasonably prices ( I think $20) and very enjoyable. Spa & Pool: I enjoyed a few hours by the pool with my daughter. Nice pool, 6 hot tubs etc. Full glass roof with an outside area that can be used in the summer. Kids in AC: I had read recommendations to not bring kids to AC. This was the first time we brought our daughter and will probably be the last. There are very limited activities. We shopped, went to the pools and arcades, but in the end AC is not very kid friendly. Maybe it is different in the summer. Bally's: Suite, grommet meals and bk and show was fully comped by host Put through 78K in 2 days

Paytable on (3) $1 MG (99.4%) 8/5 Aces Bonus (3 Play) in Tower Slots Room against opposite wall from doorway entrance reduced to 6/5.

According to my host, there is no slot club day which begins and ends at any particular hour. Everything is based on trip average. Need to have a minimum average bet of at least $2.00 to earn Premium Cashback, which is available after 24 hours of inactivity on slot card. Premium Cashback is redeemable at MVP desk or at kiosk's which last few visits I found were either malfunctioning, or out of order. Average bets of under $2.00 will receive weekly Cashback coupons of between $5 and $20. Marketing Offers seem to be deducted from comp balance. Last month my $50 Macy's gift cert offer was deducted from my comp account balance.
