Harrah's Comps

[rpd709]

Hello,

My local casino which is Caesars Indiana seems to be stingy on their comps to me.

I am a platinum player and can't seem to get crap anymore.

All I've played since beginning of the year is blackjack and the only offer I've got is a measly $49 dollar room Sun-Thurs

My tier score is 2500 (4000 needed to retain Platinum).

All I get in the mail is 3x reward credit garbage that I don't need

What can I do to get some freaking comps from Harrahs?

I have a friend that is a gold player and he hardly ever goes and he goes online and can get 4-5 nights in a row comped at Caesars Indiana.

Help is appreciated.

Learn to hustle comps. Get "casino comp city" by max rubin. Play video poker, if there's anything decent.

Harrahs point earning rates on table games (or at least blackjack) are extremely low.

It just gets on my nerves that a guy that never goes can get a week free comp room and even cash coupons in the mail and all I get is garbage.

I'm not all that great at video poker so I'll just stick with Blackjack.

I feel I am rather decent. Although it kicked my ass the other night... Huge stretches of 18s 19s and 20s and dealer beats by one almost everytime. Next thing I know I'm 600 down

Anyway.

I guess the only thing positive I can get comp rooms in Vegas about anytime.

Marketing offers actually increase the less often you play,and decrease the more you play.They have you,why should they reward you? They want to intice your friend,who by resisting is increasing his offers.
Do you check your online offers? I often find offers I didn't get a card for.

[rpd709]

Yeah I check my offers online.

I get 3X REWARD CREDITS, SPECIAL LAS VEGAS RATES, A BLACKJACK TOURNAMENT WITH 3 FREE NIGHTS AT FLAMINGO and some other garbage.

Just pisses me off I can't/don't get **** while some guy that hardly plays gets the wad.

$15 - $20 cash coupons, Free Rooms

Wait, three free night and a free tourney? That's pretty good.

Among other things, Harrah's tracks what your average daily theoretical loss is over the last six days.

If your friend barely plays, but played a lot a year ago, the system is going to remember that, and try to entice him back. Sure, he doesn't play often, but when he does, it's worth the comps. In other words, one big session is much better than six small ones, from a comp-chasing perspective.

You didn't mention what your friend plays. Does he play slots? If so, that's why. Casinos love slot players much more than table players.

Especially Harrahs. They keep taking more and more table games out of their AC casinos and adding machines.

Of course. Table games= work. You have to pay dealers, PC's, surveillance. With slots you don't even have to pay for the machines, you can just lease them. You don't even need to hire change people any more.
