Effective April 1, 2013 Reward Credits at all Caesars Ent. properties can be redeemed for free play at these new rates:
Seven Stars - 125 Reward Credits = $1 Free Play
Diamond - 175 Reward Credits = $1 Free Play
Platinum and Gold - 200 Reward Credits = $1 Free Play

Beginning 4/1/12 at all Caesars Ent. properties, Reward Credits can be redeemed for free play but at twice the rate for comps. For example, 100 Reward Credits = $1 comps or 50c free play.

I was there on 2/6/12, verified all the video poker listed for the Rio in vpFREE2 and saw no changes.

Added the following eleven hosts who work at all Caesars Entertainment properties in the Las Vegas region: Jeff Glantz, Gerry Green, Devonia Herron, Joe Mayo, Miguel Perez, Ressa Powell, Ed Simmons, Bobby Steedle, Lich Tran, Rose Young and Sandy Zobrist

Stickers stating they require $80 coin-in for one Reward Credit have been removed from the high limit machines with 9/6 JoB or 8/5 BP. A report stated that playing the $5 9/6 JoB only required $10 coin-in per point.
