| Of
course, doing it this way is not the best plan.
What we suggest is making inquiries before heading
to Las Vegas or Atlantic City or wherever. If you
find limits to your liking, establish credit before
landing at your destination. Then you’re all
set.
But suppose you get to a particular casino, and
first you don't like the ambience, the attitude
of the dealers, or the general setup. You get the
feeling things won't go well that you're going to
end up a big loser. You're just not comfortable.
Well, forgo the free room and meals and don't play
there. If possible, move to another casino that
is more to liking. If you leave Hotel A and walk
over to Hotel B and tell them what your credit line
at the other hotel is and how much you expect to
play for, they may welcome you with open arms and
move you right in. If they don't, and if you can't
find another room in town for the weekend, play
wherever you wish at comfortable limits, rather
than trying to please the first hotel just to get
a free room and some meals. They could end up as
a pittance compared to your losses. Don't let the
comps be your master.
If you're like most people who gamble, you're probably
not pushing for a free room and board and the whole
nine yards. You'll probably be satisfied with an
occasional free meal or a free show. You may be
staying at Hotel D and wandering around to find
a good single deck blackjack game. You find it at
a nearby casino. Just your speed. You decide to
sit down and cash in a few hundred bucks. Ask the
dealer to send over the floorman. Introduce yourself
and tell him or her that you want your action monitored.
He'll be happy to oblige.
Let's assume you spend two hours in the pit, playing
at a couple of tables. At the end of that time,
call over the floorman and talk to him. He or she
may give you comps for dinner for two that night,
or a free show at the casino, or both. He or she
may like your action and suggest that you stay at
that hotel the next time around at a reduced rate.
You may even be told that four hours of play a day
will give you the fabled free RFB. |
