A huffle through the Gaming mailbag:
Dear John: I'd like your comment on a policy at a Las Vegas
casino. For the second year in a row, the casino would not accept
reservations for a weekend because I was not a "preferred guest." I
asked the reservation clerk what that meant. All guests may apply
for a "preferred card" to be inserted in slot machines or shown to
the pit boss at the tables. The amount of gambling by the guest is
then recorded. In this casino, there are "A," "B," and "C" ratings.
C ratings are not given reservations over the weekend. She suggested
I could upgrade that by coming more often and gambling more.
Would you consider this discriminatory? Could there be any
redress. ...
