How do you get rated by a casino?

I understand how the casino keeps track of you when using a card and playing the slots. I would like to know how they rate a person at a table - is it by the amount of money you win or lose, how long you play, etc?

Thanks.

How do you get rated by a casino?

ask at each casino - talk to a host for table play if the player%26#39;s club is busy.

in general table play is based on theo - theorhetical loss.

house edge x hr play x bet/hand x % they comp = your comp is a basic formula, which can be tweaked by the casino.

the more upscale the casino the more theo needed for comps. each casino, even within the same group, works from a different %.

do NOT get this info here - i saw someone the other day say the got 1/2 avg bet/hr in comps - i call BS on that!!

How do you get rated by a casino?

How much you bet per hand.

To get a favorable rating.

CRAPS%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; 60.00 dollars PLUS odds, each round.

REPETITIVE.

4 hours of play a day.

Big Bucks to get a FREE Buffet, maybe a FREE Nite.

DONT CHASE COMPS, its cheaper to do your thing, your way, when you want.

';...CRAPS%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; 60.00 dollars PLUS odds, each round...';

this is why you do not get this info here

almost all casinos do NOT rate odds. if, by chance you have each number and are placing bets for the dealers and you are known to the casino as a repeat and good customer, your odds will be considered a little.

Most casinos, for the average player do not rate odds. Since you are asking this question here i will take it that you are not an established player with a history, otherwise you wouldn%26#39;t be here.

when you ask at each casino you will get the info for that casino - do NOT get this info here

There are three primary factors influencing your table rating:

#1 Average bet

#2 Time played

#3 Game played

there are a few other secondary factors:

#4 Tipping dealers

#5 Rapport with pit bosses

#6 Tipping cocktail waitresses

#7 Your ability to get ALL your comps from the host

The primary factors fit into an equation you can use to estimate what your comps should be:

average bet*hours played*number of hands per hour*casino advantage for that game*40%=comps earned

here is an example

$100 bet per hand on blackjack

times

4 hours played

times

50 hands per hour (casino estimate)

times

2% casino advantage

times

40% returned at comps

equals

$160 in comps earned.

It is important you have some idea what to ask for because the hosts will try to low ball you. It is important you tip the dealers and cocktails well and have a good rapport with the pit boss because they record your average bet and it is often a ';best estimate';. If they like you this is their only chance to take care of you.

Here are my credentials---I have the following fully comped stay (rooms, food, beverage, golf, limos) in Vegas this year:

--April 3 days at Wynn in Salon suite

--May 2 days at Bellagio in penthouse suite

--June 3 days at Bellagio in 2 bedroom penthouse

--August 2 days at NYNY in marquis with $2,500 promo chips and then 2 days at Wynn in fairway villa

--October headed for 3 days at NYNY in penthouse with $3,000 in promo chips

--November headed to Beau rivage for free luxury suite monday night football with packers, airfare, suite, all transfers comped.

I have rec%26#39;d over $30,000 in comps since April based on what I have learned from the book Comp City and from the various boards.

You want to call BS on that Bridge?

porschelover (me too!) be sure to ask when you leave a table what your play was rated. that is the time to check.

the formula posted isnt a secret - it%26#39;s well-known. the ';tweaking'; and by what % a casino returns in comps is not well-known, all casinos are different and it depends on the player.

so always ask - both how the basic system at your casino and what your rating was for each session as you complete each session.

table games is one place where playing at the same casino pays off - you need a repeat history to get the best comps.

Hi

Wow, how the other half live, we were grateful for a pair of dice at the El Co as a comp!

As far as I am concerned, it%26#39;s pretty simple. If you are a habitual gambler that turns A LOT of hands/rounds OR a BIG money player ($1000 per hand or better) than worry about the comps and keep your play at one casino (or chain if comps follow)

But for 99.9999% of people, comps are a stupid pipe dream that drive people to the wrong behavior. Get your free drinks and have fun. The minute you start playing to earn a comp, the Casino has won once again.

Stop and think about what you are doing. Is raising your blackjack bet from $10 to $50 for the next 6 hours really worth getting that free $25 buffet?

Don%26#39;t get me wrong, I%26#39;m not anti-gambling...I love it, and do it all the time, but on my terms with a clear sense of what I am doing and what the Casino%26#39;s business objective is.

exactly, snappy

we%26#39;ve had that discussion here often

as has been said so many times, do not chase comps. i often say don;t play for comps

for the majority posters here, who visit LV at most a few times/year the comps are a non-factor. many play slots at HET properties in other locales and get a few room nights at a palce like Flam and are thrilled - which is great, they should be.

there is nothing wrong in maximizing your play and using offers wisely - the casinos are in business for 1 reason, we all know that.

this summer was especially rich in offers for some with little play, and that%26#39;s great for those players - take casinos up on the offer, say thanks and have a blast.
