Archie, don't you think this is somekind of advertising hype created by the Tropicana? I don't know what the ratio of money-in to points is at the Trop but a person would have to be incredibly lucky to get that many points even at a penny per point. Think about it, the combinded worth of the 10 richest people in the world is a little less than 400 billion dollars, and you are talking about 1000 billion in a trillion. As of this morning, the U.S. national debt is 8 trillion dollars. A person would never live long enought to spent that much money at a casino even if they were making multi-billion dollar bets, which I doubt any casino could handle.

And for all of this, the Tropicana will give you a crummy card worth about 2cents? I don't think so.
