Gambling Comps and Freebies

71. Try to get as many comps and freebies as you can. This is one thing you can do that will reduce the casino's edge, assuredly. Don't worry, they've got tons of experience in handling comps and gamblers; they won't go broke and they won't make a lot of mistakes.

72. Comps aren't just for high rollers. Obviously the high rollers get bigger and better comps, but there are lots of freebies for low rollers too. The only thing is, you won't get these comps without asking, so ask. Even if you can't get a free dinner, you can probably get a free breakfast.

73. RFB stands for room, food, and beverage. Most casino comps take the form of one of these three perks. The free drinks that the cocktail waitresses bring around are probably the most common and easily obtained comps. But getting food and your room covered are usually pretty easy too.

74. Funbooks are books full of coupons. These count as comps too, sorta. You can get funbooks when you check into a hotel, and sometimes you'll get them mailed to you when you've been a regular customer of the casino for a while too. The best coupons in the funbooks are the ones which get you an extra free bet when you place another bet.

75. You can get comps on as little as 3 or 4 hours of play per day. Some people are under the impression that you have to play almost round the clock in order to be eligible for comps, but it just isn't so.

76. Understand how a casino figures your rating for comp purposes. A casino rates a player by how much he's playing, how many bets he's making per hour, and what the house edge is. That determines how much money the casino can expect to win from a player during the trip.

77. Don't play over your bankroll just to get comps. That's a strategy which will inevitably backfire. The casinos are good at calculating how to make a profit out of offering comps to players. They've been doing it for years. You might get some cool freebies, but you're not going to outsmart them. And you're not going to suddenly get lucky and win big just because you're betting more than you can afford to bet either.

78. Join all the players clubs that you can. Casinos give the free stuff to the people who are in the players' clubs. Even if you're just a penny slots player, if you play enough, you'll eventually get your share of the goodies. You might as well take advantage of it.

79. To get comps when playing table games, you have to ask to be rated, every time. Don't skip this just because you're embarrassed or you've never been rated before. If you're spending money at the casino, then you can be rated.

80. Ask for comps when you're playing, but ask near the end of your session. You don't want to wind up gambling more or losing more money than you wanted to just because you're trying to get some comps and freebies.
