Is there any truth in what I find on another message board.
Borgata changed its comp policy for blackcard holders. Used to be even penny and nickle slot players would accumulate points/dollars for comp meals, etc. based on the number of hours spent gambling at the machine. Now it is based on dollar value or amount of loss per hour not time. This just went into effect in January it seems but they did not tell anybody. The days of "black box" point systems should come to an end. I don't know why the casino control comission let's casinos set these programs and change them any day of the week or time of day they choose. No one can figure out what they should be entitled to in the way of comps depending on what they play, how long they play or the amount of money they spend. If they were transparent and even post this info on slot machines and tables, it would go a long way to building loyalty and even influence players on what types of games/machines to play.
This sounds like new grounds for casino Comps. In particular this statement.

If other casinos follow this system the Comps that we know about previously is history.
