I think this is an exaggeration, at least in my case. I made a half-hearted attempt at earning DIAD last year but quit when I got hit with the wrong side of variance, so in the end I pumped about $5K coin-in through a video poker machine in a single session. That's my only VP/table play (I'm a poker player). I'm now getting offers for 3 free nights at Vegas properties. (I live in Seattle)

I am hoping you're right about the "years to come" part though.
