Payback vs. Comps
Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2022 9:06 pm
Hey everyone -
My favorite place to play in the world is the bar at the Four Queens in Vegas. They have suited royal progressives on JoB games (low volatility) that often get juicy, especially on $1 denom because people play one credit to get drinks, raising the progressives but never claiming them.
Last year, I noticed my point countdown was bigger than normal. They changed the comp points to double play for a point at the bar.
While Four Queens still has a very good program (food, cash back, points for merch, free play ALL independent of each other).
MY QUESTION: The payback on these royals often has 3 over $5k and usually 1 or 2 over $6-7k. I have hit $6600 and $8700 in my days playing. Which is more important, the comp back or the potential to hit these high value games (still rare to hit)? At that denom, it gets spendy and playthrough is significant and the cut in points really hit my comp line.
