Re: Living off comps?

Post by pokerfolio »

I played a lot of "advantage slots" e.g. Zuma,Sinbad.I always checked Ultimate X but rarely found anything.Played 3 way action on multiple points days.I moved up a level on my card at Stations,Silver Sevens & El Cortez.I stayed at casinos on multiple points days and used the Senior 50's food offers at E.Cannerycasino,Sam's Town & Stations.I never was comped rooms but had Bogo(buy one get one free).I found Binions to be the most interesting machine variety.The hotel there is closed but they give generous food comps on your card or through the swipe & win.

I understand I'm referencing KC--and not a line beating down the doors to get in here...but after my release from tyranny, my weekly routine was Harrahs for 4 nights then 5min up the road to Ameristar for 3 nights always comped...that went on for about 2years or so...
That was the case almost w/out exception for that time span.

Hey everyone, just back from the trip. One thing I was surprised about was that I was not once charged the resort fee at any of the 3 places (Orleans, TI and Harrahs Laughlin). Again it's just me so food was very inexpensive for the trip.

Weather was great lots of pool time and just roaming around. Totally think I can pull this off for awhile. VP was rough but some penny slots and using Phil's system made it a cheap trip.

Appreciate everyone's feedback and support, glad to hear from others that have done it.

  Glad to hear that your test case worked out Tony; again, good luck to you if you do decide to pull the trigger and go full time.

I'd think you'd end up losing more in gambling than the comp rooms' worth - I mean, no matter how good you are, that IS what keeps the casinos in business.
