Still working on what triggers the matchplay/freeplay. I was looking at $50 matchplay every few days, then for the winter I got switched to $10 slotplay. Weird.
As with many properties, Borgata tries to determine if you are a "slot" or a "table" player. They then give SlotPlay or MatchPlays based on that determination. So, if you usually play tables (or a mix) and you have a big "trip" that has a lot more slots... you might start getting SlotPlay instead of MatchPlays.
My personal opinion, I would do slots on your SO's card and all table (which is you) on your card. Just get a 2nd (3rd) card, and when you go to play slots use the SO's card.
In my limited experience, I also find that Borgata is very "slick." They really have decent IT and don't over-comp. They are also careful with room offers, and will take them away (right away) if your play does not stay at a same or similar level. This all makes sense, since Borgata is the most in demand property in Atlantic City.
