I wouldn't care too much about the casino chips... They were just going to turn into jewel chips anyway. I think that anyone vip5 and up should get the maria card though. I know some who missed it the first time... and now they still won't be able to get it because they paid for the game? Little weird.

The extra mounts feeds (even though it would still take forever) are a huge advantage. Makes me feel a little sad for being vip0 (which means they are probably doing a good job).
