For player club card holders does the casino give free play for members birthdays?

Yes

They actually didnt atleast that's what they told me when I went last year around this same time & had asked. Obv it could've been pandemic related but they said they were only doin a "discounted buffet". But then I just read another review where someone said the buffet is currently closed cuz of the pandemic so FYI.

Yes they do!
