Comps

If you like to go to casinos then you know it can be a lot of fun, especially when you get on a hot winning streak.

And, while it's always more fun to walk away as a winner, unfortunately, that doesn't always happen. Of course, many people will just chalk up their losing sessions to the old adage "the casino always wins," but smarter casino players know that phrase isn't necessarily true and that there actually are ways to get more value for your gambling dollar and also to increase your chances of winning.

Slot machine players are among the most valuable players in today’s casinos, both online and offline. Casinos know it, too. They reward slot players with cash back or free play along with meals, free or discounted rooms and other comps.

In fact, modern player rewards systems that track how much you play evolved from the “slot clubs” that sprang up in the early 1980s, starting with the 24K Club at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City. 

I have been a professional Advantage Player of casino games for almost 20 years. And during this time I have gotten casinos to comp me Suites, five stars gourmet meals, concert tickets and even flights to and from casino gaming cities like Atlantic City and Las Vegas. A common question I get from novice players is how to get casinos to give you luxurious comps. It is pretty simple if you know how the system works.
