Yep. It still amazes me how some people on this NG will boast about their
"points" and never realize nor admit how much those points cost them.

I don't think you understand how it works.FWIW, I play at a local
casino in Oregon that gives 1 point for each dollar. A couple of
months ago I sat down at a 1 cent slot machine, played all the lines
(power reel machine) times 5 for $1.25 a spin. I put a twenty dollar
bill in the machine, and played it for over 3 hours. Never once did I
have over $30 on the machine, but when I finally got tired of playing
and cashed out with my original $20, I had racked up over 4,000
points. This happens all the time, and yes I do get free meals...and
they are truly free.
