AC Casino/program suggestions for newbie.

Post by 3N1GM4 »

Hey everyone,
I'm looking to make some regular trips to Atlantic City and wanted your suggestions for a place to spend most of my time/money.
 
About me:
*play 9/6 JoB.  usually start out at the .25 machines and move up when I hit a 4knd or RF-hasn't happened in a long time :(.
*pretty much a perfect strategy player, via a Bob Dancer software program I bought.
*I can make $20 in quarters last a long time.  I need to get faster, but right now I'm ok.
*My secondary game is Deuces Wild, but the churn in that game leaves a bit to be desired. I remember playing a full pay DW machine in Vegas that took my $50 pretty quick a couple of years ago.
*Prefer cash back, but will take buffets and rooms etc.
 
What's the best bang for the buck casino/program out there right now. Thanks in advance.

HI 3N1GM4 : IF YOU ARE GOING TO A.C IN OCTOBER THE BORGATA IS HAVING 5X SLOT DOLLARS ( CASH BACK ) . IF YOU ARE A RATED PLAYER AT  ANOTHER CASINO LIKE HARRAH`S ( DIAMOND STATUS ) WHEN YOU SIGN UP FOR A PLAYERS CARD THEY WILL UPGRADE YOU TO BLACK CARD WHICH WILL GIVE ACCESS TO THE PLAYERS LOUNGE. THEY DO COMP THE COMEDY SHOWS BUT THE SHOWS IN THE MAIN EVENT CENTER (BALLROOM ) ARE HARD TO GET. FREE ROOMS ARE EASY DURING THE WEEK , BUT SATURDAY`S ARE A LITTLE HARDER UNLESS YOU CAN GET A HOST.
  HARRAH`S  HAS 4 CASINO`S IN A.C. THAT THERE PLAYERS CARD IS LINK TOGETHER ALONG WITH THERE OTHER PROPERTIES. THEY COMP A LOT OF ROOMS, SHOWS AND FOOD ( BUFFET IS VERY GOOD )
TRUMP TAJ HAS 2 PLAYERS CLUB BUT THE FOOD IS NOT THAT GOOD. THEY DO COMP ROOMS AND SHOWS BUT THEY HAVE BEEN TIGHTENING UP ON THE FREE SHOW TICKETS.
OF  COURSE EVRYTHING IS BASED ON YOUR LEVEL OF PLAY.
THOSE ARE THE PLACES THAT I PLAY AT.
I`M LEAVING TOMORROW FOR HARRAH`S . I`LL BE THERE UNTIL FRIDAY, THEN WE MOVE TO THE TAJ FOR THE WEEKEND.

Thanks for the reply, Jim.
 
It looks like I need to start with the Harrah's properties, get rated, then move on to the Borgata. 
 
I'm a blank slate when it comes to the casino's in AC and want to start out where my action will be maximized in terms of comps.
 
Any others?

We like AC Hilton and Trump Marina. Good offers through the mail, room and food comps easy to get. Also Hilton has sister property Resorts, one card works at both. Small amount of play at AC Hilton will get you free room offers, etc from LV Hilton.
 
I'm sorry but I found Borgata cold both in wins and employee attitude . Others rave about it. Go figure. Wherever you play enjoy and win.

TRY DIFFERENT CASINO`S. I HAVE HIT JACKPOTS AT SHOWBOAT, TAJ AND THE BORGATA. BUT ALL I GET AT HARRAH`S IS GOOD PLAY TIME WHICH HELPS TOWARDS COMPS.
EVERYBODY HAS THERE LUCKY CASINO.
BORGATA DOES HAVE SOME EMPLOYEES WITH AN ATTITUDE BUT IF I`M HITTING JACKPOTS I CAN OVERLOOK THAT.

Black label card gets you into the lovely Amphoria lounge at Borgata and access to JUMBO peeled shrimp and other great food including drinks. It's worth the $10 comp adm.! It's true that there is no adm charge at Harrah's diamond lounge buffets. By the time you have 11000 points for your diamond card, you have paid for their FREE buffets! Wins in DDB and DW at Harrah's Resort, Borgata, Showboat and Bally's monopolized my play, kept me happy and from seeking my fortune at other casinos. One can only pray the Jitney does not go splat all over the route midway between casinos. Hop the Harrah's Express shuttle between Harrah's four casinos. You can walk to the Taj from the Showboat next door. Borgata mailed us comp comedy tickets but that was not playing while we were there. You might wish to use the escalator at Taj instead of the elevator that recently stranded seven people!

The first reading of the bill to delay passed 5 to 4. Bill would extend the ability to smoke on 25% of Casino floor for a year.
