Trop in AC enforcing playing time for the poker rate?

I always stay at the Trop for the poker rate. The only problem is that their games sometimes suck, since the pink game doesn't always go, and there's no 10/20 or 20/40.

How strict are they in enforcing their rule about four hours a day to qualify for the rate? They gave me $109 for friday and $125 for Sat, May 4th and 5th.

The Trop does a card swipe every 30 minutes.
They do enforce the rule about playing 4 hours a day.

What are the rules exactly? Do you have to play 4 hours every day that you have a room at Trop?

That's my assumption, and I always did.

This time I want to play at the Borg, they 10/20 and 20/40, which are my games.

To qualify for the poker rate a player needs to log a minimum of four hours per day of the stay.

That's right, four hours watching hand shuffling.That's why you can get the poker rate.

The 4 hours has to come from average playing time, not minimum per day...

And it's generally based on past play. You'll get the rate if/when you've got a 4-hour average from past play. While you're there, try not to monkey up the average if you'd like the rate again in the future.

Keep in mind, gaming day ends at 0500 or 0600 (whenever, be sure to ask if it becomes an issue)... so playing 1400-0400 is 18 hours, but playing 2300-0700 is only 8 hours split across two days.

There has to be more to it. I can't just play one 6-hour session, and keep reserving poker rate rooms with it from now until Trop falls apart, can I?

often wondered the same thing myself. I've got a huge gambling problem so it's never been an issue whether or not i could make the 4-hour avg.
