I don’t play for comps. If they arrive fine, but that’s it except on Triple days. For instance on the 99 percent machines at Bizarro it’s about 500 coin in for one status point / Tier credit. And no spendable points earned on the 99 percent machines. They call those Momentum Dollars. On a 97 percent machine, it’s still about 500 buck coin for one point worth a dollar. Much less for slots which are probably 88-92 percent. They don’t tell you the numbers. It’s trial and error to find out on how much coin to earn a point.

It would have to be a very nice gift. Comps per se I have racked up almost $400 worth. Don’t even have time to stay long enough for nice restaurant meals.

Of course you're aware that you can convert RC to FP at 2:1. Supposedly 1:1 on occasion?

Sports app has a "Bet with Rewards" button. It's a 1:1 value, minus the house edge of your bet (typically 4.5% on a -110/-110). The casino may rarely offer a 1:1 conversion promo, but you'll have to go in on the designated day, missing out on other promos.

Anyone with tier status should be playing the monthly sports bonus bet. It's $150 nominal value for Seven Stars (with a small, front-end playthrough requirement to activate). "Conversion value" is less than 1:1 because it only pays the winnings.

As a gambler, you only have a few factors you can measure: vp pay table, strategy, earn rate, promos, tier benefits. I evaluate all the factors.

We’re simpatico there. Avoid online gambling like the plague. I’d rather risk losing 20 times a year than 365.

Yes, plus however you value the reward credit redemption. If I couldn't redeem for sports, I would be forced to take slot play at half value because I already have too many dining comps, and the gift shops don't have anything I want.

No doubt they're hoping people will try out the sports app and get comfortable there.

Check my last AC Feasting post. Daily diet if online gambling’s worst case scenario ensues.
