I've often seen downgrades day after after big wins. Venetian,
Bellagio, Rampart.

Recently there was a downgrade at Cache Creek (near San Francisco) due
to a poorly designed promotion.
On weekends, every $1,200 that day earned a drawing ticket towards
five(?) $5,000 prizes.

One guy hammered a bank of three $10 Joker 99.92% video poker machines
(CA doesn't allow >100% video poker) all day Sat & Sun.
He earned enough tickets to win about half of the $5,000 prizes.

After that weekend, the Joker was downgraded 1%, leaving NSU Deuces as
the highest-paying (99.73%) video poker.
The guy never came back for the promotion on following weekends.
