In a program such as Total Rewards, $5 of coin-in (on a slot, NOT video poker) will equal one base/tier point. If you achieve 3000 points in one day, you can be upgraded to diamond status (otherwise known as DIAD = Diamond in a Day). For the Total Rewards program you will ALSO earn reward Bonus Reward Credits (RCs) that can be used for comps. The earning level for these is variable and depends on the type of machine played.
Thanks for the info. So just to make sure I get this correct.... if I put in $100 cash into a machine, I go up $50 on one spin, and then I loose all $150 after that point with no winning spins, my total coin-in = $150. Correct?
