Do you play $5.00 jacks or Better in the high limit room? Would you otherwise classify yourself as a high roller player as far as Biloxi goes? You have spoken before that you only get to Biloxi once or twice a year at best. Your coin in (even at the .25 level) must be high enough to rate such fantastic offers in Biloxi.
This is an interesting question. The Beau Rivage is a MLife Casino. MLife allows my wife and I to play on the same account. I'm sure this makes us look like we play bigger than we do. Back 10-12 years ago, I used to be a max coin dollar player and we stayed at the Beau 4-5 times each year. It was nothing for me to lose or win $1,000 a day at the Beau RIvage. If I had a bad couple of days, I could easily lose $3-4K. I won a lot too. I won $14,000 in one day back in 2008. After that, I began to receive offers for free flights and rooms. The odds started dropping right after Katrina, so we switched to quarters.
Even though my wife and I now play quarters exclusively, the offers have continued. Being Seniors from Florida probably helps. The offers include free air fair from Florida to Biloxi, three nights comped rooms and $50 in free play. They also throw in some buffet tickets. Next week they are giving us free tickets to the Christmas show. I'm fairly sure they are hoping we switch back to dollar play. Unless they go back to better games, NO chance.
We both play about 600-700 hands an hour. We like to casino hop in Biloxi, but combined we play at least 5,000 hands a day at $1.25 a hand. MLIfe will give us comped rooms in any of their resorts as long as we are flexible on our dates. They comped our stay at the Borgata in AC last spring. You don't need to be a high roller to get these offers. What they want is someone who will consistently run money through their machines.
It's a mistake to think you can't go home a winner playing 97% VP games. If you stick to quarters, you won't get rich, but you won't go broke either. It helps that we both play single line low variance VP games. Royals happen just like they do playing positive games. There is a cost to playing these games, but it doesn't have to be excessive.
The trick is to play just enough so the casino continues to send you offers, but not so much where you are overpaying for your comps. I can't comment on positive VP games because I have never seen one except in Vegas unless you want to count pirating multipliers.
My disagreements with the experts goes back a long time. My complaint is they never give out any information useful to average small time players. They concentrate on games you can only find in Vegas or in the high limit room. They avoid talking about playing negative games other than saying not to play them. This creates a void of information and leaves most players with no plan. Only talking about how to profit from VP, fills the casino with hopeful losers who have no chance. The casinos love this. I try to talk about playing VP in the real world I see where VP games are 97-98% and comps are minimal.
