playing a weaker game for comps?

Post by stevel96a1 »

im considering playing a weaker game for comps, is this a good way to go?
my last session on 99.17 didn't earn me squat but i did break even.
im wondering about double double bonus maybe profitable in comps/cash

The costs of rooms and foods are much less than your loss. Losing more for the sake of getting comps is stupid.

I guess it would depend on what kind of comps as well. Things like free gas and free play I would value the same as cash, but rooms, food, shows, and nominal gifts not so much. Your free play and gas if any probably will be no more than . 4 percent of free play. That still gives you a negative cash flow

If you explain that it is too hard to come in multiple days each week just to pick up the free play, I'm sure they can make some accommodation for you. Just be polite.

Not to be the wet blanket here but it is doubtful, no matter how a person asks, that a casino will make an accommodation on free play for a player when it comes to days the free play is available. If they do it for one player they may be required to make this same option available to all players and this could be against state gaming regulations.

You don't know if you don't ask. Once, at the old Sands, they were having a giveaway on a Tuesday. I got in touch with the promo department, told them I was there almost every week and really wanted that particular item. I was in the second of their three tiers but they put one aside for me.
You will get none of the things you don't ask for.

its great they are giving me nearly 700$ free play in a span of a month problem is its chopped into 30 days
i dont see myself paying the fuel and food to get there for such a low amount per day, now maybe if all 8 or 12 casinos in ac gave me and my wife that amount maybe i consider

i did e mail them and waiting for a response looks doubtful tho, i was watching this 1 guy named slotmasasacre channel on youtube he trades 10k$ cash for 1k$ free play imo thats a bad deal when i know theres better out there and yes he has a host

I have never seen it done for free play. Giveaways, yes. Who knows.
