po69 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 yisman, every casino is still really generous with food comps. You just have to ask for them more than before now. About 10 years ago, if they saw you winning then they would come over and shower you with comps so you wouldn't leave their casino with THEIR money!! Now, they just sit on the sidelines and wait until it appears that you are leaving or until you lose. You really have to be proactive and say something like your wife wants to eat right now so you must go. Then say that she wants to go somewhere OUTSIDE of the casino to eat but ask for a $100 food comp at that casino and you will just stay there. Or ask for 2 buffet comps which is even easier to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FISHHEAD Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Videopoker best for comps, ......not only is an educated patorn of the game playing a +EV game, but one will be showered with food comps, gifts, cash, VIP invites, and other stuff in addition to their playing profits. .......casinos love "machine" players.

rmi Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 so he tips $50 on a $75 comp, and yet won't just pay the $75 from his points makes no sense unless he has a crush on the serverI like to tip good at places I frequent a lot. I got special service at Twin Creeks. They put the best steaks aside for me etc. If the meal is free I feel the tip should be generous. Many pros are so cheap. It makes me ad FH sick. FH very, very good tipper as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always take the other view and say why sit for hours at a machine to grind out 50 in +ev just to hand it to someone that worked for about a minute, and was already getting paid to do so 15-20% is already more than fair, most countries laugh at how much we tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

po69 Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Why do people tip the smuck at a hotel who hails a cab for you??? I mean it isn't like he is running into traffic to get you that cab. He has a line of 15 cabs just waiting to be whistled up to the front. Why should this guy get tipped at all?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
