I have a comp offer from a HET casino for 4x Rewards points or 2 free dinner buffets (~$25 each) for one day next week. Assume I play BJ there for 2 hours with an average bet of $75. Which is the better deal?

As I understand it, places assume their edge at blackjack is about 1%, and return 1/4 of their expected winnings in comps.

So 2 hrs x $75 x 0.01 x 100 x 1/4 = $40 in comps. If you quadrupled your Rewards points (and Rewards points are proportional to value) then you'd gain $120 worth of points.
 
In Harrahs system,the buffet offer is the better deal. Harrahs points system revolves around slots. You'd be lucky to enough points for one buffet.Unless its at the Imperial Palace. There, the lucky ones are the ones that don't get a free buffet.
 
I'd go for the free buffets. Normally multi-points deals apply to slots only. In any case with a few hours at $75 a hand blackjack you should be able to easily get a comp out of the pit boss for a few buffets in addition. :-)

That's what I figured. This is in AC. Appreciate a response from our resident comp expert :grin:
