7Luck casino Comps
Just wanted to pass some info on the comps.
In approx 40 hours of play, I accumulated 340,000 won/points. At your request they transfer the points to a debit card, (called Shinhan Bank Korea Travel Card) that can be used at millions of stores throughout Korea. This is really a great feature as you are not forced to use it at the more expensive hotels or stores/restaurants of the casino itself. You can use it almost everywhere; at E-marts, department stores, even grocery stores.
I was surprised ay how many Koreans do not use a players card, some have even told me its stupid and bad luck to use a players card, lol. But I quickly realized why (in their case), once the dealers swipe the cards at the table, the dealer has each persons picture on the computer screen assigned to which seat they are playing at. There is no doubt that some Koreans are entering the casino using someone else players card to gain entrance. Then these same Koreans who told me it was stupid and bad luck to use the card then told me that there are some Chinese casino regulars that buy the debit cards from people for 85% of their value, lol. (The Shinhan Bank debit cards don't have any names on them).
So even with the lower level gold card, averaging $8 an hour in comps seems very generous (although I have no clue what it is in the states). And these comps are in addition to the free food you can order within the casino. So even if you break even at the tables, you still had a +EV day.
Is this average per hour in comps the norm for a lower limit hand player?
