I don't think I bring that big of a BR when I go. It is that I play back all the non W2G wins I hit that boosts my coin in. Unless I get enough of them clustered together to breach $1000. But even then it gets added to my BR for future sessions. I also throw in slot play to earn more credits.

It must be exponentially more than me to receive such offers. I know about playing back wins. I gave back $53 of a $75 quad just before leaving today. Theory: the fifty cent level would be okay. A brutal half hour. Net $26 today, not enough to justify the trip decision. I got $15 from Harrah's dollar JOB and racked 60 TC. I actually feel calm on their buck JOB. Carousel set up rules.

From what you post here you would think you should get close to my comps. You are there every week at least it seems. I so far have only been twice this year I believe. Cumulatively you must spend at least as much. I do play slots and I never play JOB. Usually quarter or dollar DDB/TDB. When I am there though it is for a couple days and I am there to play. So maybe it is because my "Daily" coin in is much larger. Perhaps It would be better for you to go less frequently but pool what you would normally spend on each trip and then play it all on 1 trip each month or 2 or whatever.

OH, max bet also.

paco I've made the same suggestion before as you made in your last sentence.

Now you tell me. I can discern your lockdown comp expertise. If I went a third of the time and spent triple, I too would ascend to Cloud Comp! You propose Gambler Makeover. Wholesale changes. I'm a JOB adherent who deems max bet unworthy of even 50% of wagers. 55% of hands are losers, as you know, a highly troubling fact. I love connecting with the same AC faces week after week. The plight of low roller regulars.

FAA Average Daily Theoretical (ADT) values drive your comp values to a casino. You may find your comps increasing if you focus on one or maybe two casinos to play in Atlantic City once or maybe twice a month.

I could be wrong though.

You're quite right. It's all about ADT and I chose to march to my own beat. I really destroy my numbers with all the migration. Variety is the spice of life, but loyalty is rewarded. I prefer Harrah's. Carousel layout allows for complete focus. It's a quantum leap. Great staff and amenities. I should beeline it there and stay until I get bored. Boardwalk to eat and the Resorts promo. I would maintain frequency.  It's such a fun social excursion. But play only at one. The detours serve no purpose and muddy the waters.

If only I had taken my own advice. Nice Harrah's day, +$80 despite losing $40 on my first dollar JOB machine. Unfortunately, I returned to Bally's and lost $190 in an hour of fifty cent JOB/DW. Boardwalk Break. Please hold me to this vow. I could use the support. Even when I lose at Harrah's, it's a much more pleasant environment with the carousel layout.

Harrah's bust. -$150 in 1.5 hours. Net Day -$75. I will take solace in that. I even found a twenty outside, which I factored in. Hey, wallet will not know the difference. My quest for the RF really killed me. Glad to get half of it back.

Some lucky soul won $2,645,033 on a World of Fortune slot machine last night.
