Is it much easier for them to track your profit, pinned with your name and ID? Eventually they can id you as such player that they do not want to deal with.
A friend started taking me to a local Casino in September and taught me how to play slots. In December, I was given $20 for food at the Casino. I had earned over 200 points so I guess that $20 food credit was my 10% comp. Thank you guys for the explanation!
Depending on the bets you make it can differ drastically. I know if you are betting the pass or don't pass line and betting a lot of free odds, most casinos don't even take the free odds into account when comping you because they have no house edge on that part of the bet.
Generally, the slot machine returns are better at downtown casinos and also at the "locals" casinos along Boulder Highway and in North Las Vegas. See more here - www.americancasinoguide.com/slot-machine-payback-statistics.html#Nevada
The palms casino has been giving me free play for table games but it's a one time bet and it's usually $100 or $50 and they make you bet it all at once. Some casinos will give you promotional chips and pay you back in real chips when you win.
Yeah, i get those one time free play's also. I guess if you're a slots player, you can play them one time but you can only play them on one session, and you have to play them one time through to get it back in cash, if you even win anything. I'll take my positive EV at the tables, and their little chicken shit freebies for table game players. But they really screw their slots players, and the players think they're getting this really good deal since they get a free room and meal.
Excellent video, as usual. I’m thinking explaining Boyd’s BConected comp system, would require its own video, as far as video poker is concerned. Or is it even possible to explain?
Why would you ignore a free room comp? As long as there is no obligation to play I don't see why you would. I don't know where you live, but any decent hotel room would be better than where I live. And yes, they want to see you using the comp, but they're really only interested in watching you lose your money in the casino.
Hey guys. Awesome video. I had a question. If your an AP, and you play rated at some casinos for comps using a players card, but you still use AP play and have a meager year to date win (Lets say hypothetically you have 300 hours play between several Total Rewards casinos, and you have a year to date win of over maybe $5000); are they gonna look twice at that and say "maybe we should check his play next time he sits down"? Or is that number too small to even care about, and will still gonna comp you based on 300 hours of theo, regardless of the win size? When WOULD that win size start to draw attention?
Hey guys, one of the casinos near me is an anomaly. I go there and play either blackjack, craps, or three card poker, or all three, but I do get mailers for a $10 coupon that I can actually cash at the cashier's cage. I get one of those each month usually.
I'm disappointed about the changes in Boyd's comp system and the TIER system. I'm a Ruby and i always will be. THIS is excellent tutorial on the comp system,guys!
There are many Dueces Wild machines which have the following pay schedule: 1-2-2-3-4-13-16-200-800. This is almost the same as what you have at El Cortez casino except they have machines that pay 1-2-2-3-4-13-16-400-940 with higher amounts for the top two prizes. I can't find a figure for the payout on these machines which don't have the increased amounts for the top 2 prizes. What is the correct figure?
Can you explain how tier points are won? These are points needed to move up in Rewards level. It looks like you need to spend about $120,000 in slot play to move up. Cycling through (?) $30 per point is not clear to me. Thanks...
On the craps table, how do they track what numbers or what part of the table you are betting? Just curious. I never see anyone writing anything down when I or anyone else is playing.
Well the field and come/don't come bets, it is up to you to keep track of which bet is yours and for pass/don't pass, you place it in front of you. But for pretty much every other bet on the table, you will see little lines about an inch long around the perimeter of the box and the area between each of those lines signifies the spot someone is standing at on the table. So if you look closely, if you are in the back left corner of the table they will place the bet you made between the two lines in the back left corner of the box of whatever bet you make.
Especially if they like you the PB might increase your minimum bet. I've had mine raised 5 - maybe 10 times the amount on card. So be nice to the PC and especially the dealer. A little OT but try to tip someone something. That loss of EV will lengthen your stay.
Question on players club comps. If I have my "MLife" card that I use at all MGM properties..., should I play only at 1 MGM property to get the most comps, or if I spread it over several of their properties, will I get the same offers? For example, if I have $300 and I spend it all at Mandalay Bay, or instead, I spend $100 at each site, ... i.e. NewYork NewYork, The MGM, and Mandalay Bay, will I get the same kind of comps? Is it better to stick with one casino EVEN if they are all on the same players club?
PLAY FOR THE MONEY. DO NOT GET SUCKED INTO PLAYING FOR COMPS. My favorite comp story: an ignorant craps player who played $100 flat bet with MAX ODDS. After losing $10,000 he wanted to know how many points he got. Since his flat bet was the only part of his bet rated, only a fraction of the $10,000 for rated. He went ballistic over the few points he got. I wanted to say, "What about the $10,000 you just lost?"
Odds are never good for comps what a tool. Like I play for the sake of enjoying. Maybe I get a buffet coupon and some drinks. I've been given free rooms on minimal play but honestly it's crazy how little people think.
Would it be advantageous for my partner and I to get two cards under just one of our names then playing them both at the same time? If it matters, I prefer $1 machines while he prefers $0.01 machines. I know the house advantage is higher on the ones he plsys but since we split our bankroll and both play $500 each during our visit wouldn't that look more like we played $1,000 in one day as opposed to $500 separately?
You would be better off putting all of your play on one person's card. Then, on the next visit, switch and put all your play on the other person's card. The reasoning is explained in this other video - One Easy Tip to Increase Your Players Club Benefits - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FHtYqJGDs7s.html
Try to put all your play in at the casino where you are comped. They will use your playing record to decide whether or not to send you more offers. And, don't bet extra just to get more comps. Just bet at a level where you feel comfortable.
One time I was playing craps and winning at Caesars palace. When I colored up they have me a $1000 chip and when I went to the cage the lady did something in the computer with my id and said it was because I had the $1000 chip. Another time I wasn’t doing well and they gave me 10 $100 chips back instead. What is the meaning of this? I don’t think I was offered any comps either time.
They wanted your identification details, so they covertly “bought” them by handing you a chip. Probably thought you were counting cards and wanted to see if you were in the database of advantaged players. You were on craps though, so it could be for other reasons they deemed suspicious. Just a theory
I always spend at least over an hour playing on the $5 dollar blackjack table everytime I go to the casino. Is it really possible to ask the pitboss for a comp on the spot? I really didn't know that.
At $5 per hand you won’t get much. You’ll usually need to be playing green at smaller casinos and black at the big casinos to get much in the form of comps from blackjack.
I’m not sure if you’re familiar with casinos in Maryland. Namely, Maryland Live. I’ve just started going maybe a month. I play $.05 slots. I usually sit for no more than 1 1 and 1/2. And usually walk away with SOMETHING. The most was about $240… almost two weeks ago. Well, this past Thursday, I lost $80 in maybe 30 minutes. That was deflating. Does using that card aid in deciding “let them take a loss” this time?
Every Vegas casino I’ve worked for comps 10% off of your actual loss. So you should have gotten $130 in comps assuming you didn’t have comps already up front.
I Finally Won A Handpay On A Slot Machine, (Took Me 4years To Get A Handpay) @ $3.00 A Spin..I Won $2,200.. Boy I Thought That Machine Was A Lose Machine.. Went Back To The Same Machine @ The Same Time & Put In The Same Amount A Week After, Almost Lost Half Of It, Due To The Players Card.. Like You Guys Said The Card Knows How Much You Won Or Lost.. I Guess They Want You To Come Back Thinking You Can Win Again... Man! I Thought Wrong..Lol!
My question: Will the Casinos ask a person to stop playing games like Roulette, Craps...if you are a high better and a high winner, and you are not playing/counting cards/varying bets at Blackjack? We are assuming you have normal human behavior and no alcohol/drug problems.
Not hear in Indian land they too k ask my comps away at ceder creek casino they got everyone money they're making a new one across the street but us the people don't get shit for comp if you use the card then we loose all the time cards . They sick of you asian you win ask time ask ask color people in tuliap wa
If no one wins, they wouldn't come back. My local casino is always busy and I have lost $0 since I started going in September. I play the slots whenever they have freeplays and don't take any of my own money with me. I keep all my winnnings in one place and don't spend any of it. Next year, I plan on combining my winnings with my freeplays to make larger bets and hopefully have bigger winnings so I can earn points faster to get better comps. 😁
