Casino host Edwin Lau has retired.

The rate to redeem points at all food outlets at all Boyd properties is now 1000 points per dollar. Previously the rate was 600 points per dollar, a 40% discount.

The three Super Star Poker machines at the Island Bar have been removed.

Jean Scott's post on the vpFREE forum - "Just verified this with the players club desk – YAH rules are back the way they were before March 1. Out-of-towners WILL be eligible for this promo. Haven’t checked with other Boyd properties but I imagine same there. It was said that they had been “flooded” with complaints. Sometimes customer complaints ARE effective."

The recently reported $5 3 play 10/7 DB and 10/6 DDB with 500 SF's have the 5-K quads shorted to 200 making the 10/7 DB 99.17% and the 10/6 DDB 99.02%.

Was at the Gold Coast the weekend before last. Tried to use my "birthday" points in the pickem machines; I searched high and low, confirming they were not where they used to be, and couldn't find any. A floor person who claimed they were her favorite machines said they were all removed because they couldn't TITO them.
