| Obviously,
you're not going to play video poker at that casino.
Your stay may be three days, and even at the end
of that time you might find the largest payout is
only $1,600 or $1,700. The best thing to do is go
to a casino where there are payouts in the $2,000
range. Once there, immediately join the membership
club at that casino. Speak to a host about a future
visit to that hotel. If the casino personnel see
that you're spending some serious hours playing
the video poker machines, they may suggest you stay
at their hotel-casino the next trip around. They
may also offer you a special rate as an inducement.
They'll know about your action from the credits
you're piling up on the card. But it's also a good
idea to introduce yourself to a floor person in
the video poker section. There's bound to be someone
around the area. Get to be known. It can only help
you. Don't remain anonymous if you want future comps
and benefits.
Remember, when you go to a new casino to play, look
for the area that gives out membership cards. Casinos
have different names for these areas. Some may call
it a "Fun Club" or Player's Club"
or whatever name they deem feasible. But it won’t
be hard to find the area. If you can't find one,
ask security. They usually will direct you. Or ask
floor person anywhere on the floor, behind any pit.
They'll help you out. And get that card before playing.
While you're at it, ask if the can be used for table
games. Some casinos will allow this is a quick way
to keep track of a person's gambling. |
