COMPS, Compliments of your favorite casino
Many people are quite shy about obtaining comps from their favorite casinos. Well, don't be. A first time visit to a casino in Las Vegas or Atlantic City is a good way to acquire comps. Try to talk to a customer service personnel or the manager when he greets you as you come in. Usually they don't talk much about these offers so be keen on communicating and asking them what they can offer you. What casinos offer are club memberships and these may include comps as well. So try and ask them for some details.
One doesn't have to be a high roller just to be eligible for comps. Casinos offer these to their customers as rewards for their loyalty and patronage. Comps include complimentary meals, free hotel accommodations, freebies of all sorts. So take advantage of these as much as possible to make your visit worth it, even if you can't win a jackpot.
First thing to do upon arriving at the casino is to check in at the Player's Club Desk. An ID is required in obtaining the Club Card. Some casinos offer free buffet meals for first timers so ask the personnel if they have that in their casino.
One reminder though, comps for slot machines are quite different from table comps. But both are very beneficial for players who love the action in casinos. When using comps in slot machines, simply insert the card and it's all set to go. For table comps, these can be obtained from the casino host, so don't be afraid or too shy to ask them for one. Surely they'll be glad to offer these perks because comps are one of the reasons why players are patronizing casinos.
Another perk from having comps is that it can be used to have complimentary meals from the casino. The host or hostess can check if a player has earned necessary points for a complimentary snack or a meal even.
Free room or hotel accommodations can also be earned through comps. Just ask the host or hostess if the points earned are enough for you to spend the night for free or at a discounted price.
Small gift items and freebies from casinos are also comps. Try asking the club desk staff if you have earned comps while using your club card. These are just small points and items, but collectively they're cool and worth the effort.
Casinos with club memberships have mailing lists and they keep their members up-to-date with the events and promos. So don't be too shy because being a newbie in casinos has its perks. You may not be the best gambler there, but the fun and enjoyment doesn't end on losing a bet. Ever wondered why many people, men and women alike, keep on coming back to casinos? Just think of comps and you'll know why.
