Unfortunately, reaching the third tier remains harder, but the perks have been strengthened, which may make up for it. And, at least compared to the last time they had an annual cycle, reaching the second tier isn’t as difficult anymore. The good news is that they’re back to annual cycles. At first, hearing the rewards programs were changing again, I was a bit apprehensive, but they do seem to be fixing some things that they broke last time out.
They made changes in January, going to a six month program, but that turned out to just be an interim step so they could roll out a new, annual-based program. Many of these changes are good, such as continued investment to evolve and improve things like the casino floor, adding a new high limit area and bringing in more new machines. Ocean Casino Resort has been in a constant state of flux.
