Why did I lose host? Your play went down.My play went down but, I still earned gold? If you aren't one of the chosen ones to have a host, you can earn Gold status and be denied benefits of the Gold card because they say so. Asked them when did I lose my host? Was told over about 6 months ago. What are you talking about? Seems if you are gold card and don't have a host you are allowed 2 visits to the VIP lounge for 6 months. Did that, went to have a drink in the VIP lounge and they start talking about coupons. Earn 30,000 points a year now you have to earn 15,000 in six months. Always had access to the VIP lounge on the 12th floor of hotel tower. Have been Gold card for at least three years. Just my honest opinion and I really hate having to give a review like this.Įnjoy staying in the hotel, the rooms are large and clean. Or, stay at a much cheaper hotel in Joplin and visit other casinos. Nothing against teens or young adults, but this IS a gambling establishment after all.Īfter several trips to Downstream, I think next time, I might stay at the hotel, but gamble at other area casinos. It is nearly impossible to get a glass of water, soda or cocktail due to these people hanging around, visiting, horse playing etc. There are so many kids hanging out, drinking and not playing anything that you cannot easily get around. I assume the gambling age is 18, but the drinking age is 21. I can't believe that Downstream has made it where you cannot just relax, play along, win enough to keep going! Many slots are old, or the 'jackpot' is nothing compared to the amount you have to wager.Īnother thing. Not so, and the winning percentage is higher. People are afraid to play the higher denomination slots as they appear like there would be more to be lost. 50 to $10.00 per spin, they will eat your bankroll in a heartbeat. these things are 'wolves in sheep's clothing.' They might be 'Penny' slots, but when you have to play anywhere from. It is just ridiculous! One used to be able to play along.expecting to give some to the house, but have an enjoyable time. The machines are so much tighter than they were at my last visit. That said, I must say that I am currently at Downstream, leaving tomorrow. I love the hotel and the hotel staff are pleasant and very quick to accommodate.
