In order to understand player clubs it’s important to understand comps, which is short in the industry for complementary. Complimentary are free gifts that the Casino gives to gather player’s loyalty to their brand, just like a Wall mart or any major store, just that on the Casino case those comps help you reduce the house advantage.

In order to get comps you need to do two things, first you need to get your points accumulated, so first you need to do a trip thought your Casino players cards and know the benefits, when to use it, how to redeem, where its valid other than in the hotel. Usually those cards are valid on other Casino locations or attractions than on the Casino or the hotel.

Second you need to learn to ASK, no one on the Casino will come to ask you if you are hungry, you will need to ASK, when playing on the machines you could get to know what’s available by asking the Casino host, if not available ask the slot attendants to call him/her for you, they are there just for you, don’t forget it.

If your area seeking a specific type of comp it’s easy to ask while playing, ask the pit boss or tell them to bring for you a Casino host, if you don’t have what’s enough to get the compos your want, just ask again how much you need to get the comp.

Most big Casinos are operated by a Casino management company that has other Casinos as well. So it’s important to check and compare not only between the comps and gift but also on special occasion’s activities that you might qualify but that are not taking place in the time you are a guest at the hotel.

Again on the checkout process ask for a Casino host and ask them about your comps and how do they rank against the hotel requirement for rooms rates. Also its important that on reservation time you ask for a Casino host and ask them about the players club, the minimum you should be getting is a rack rate that will be adjusted at checkout time, because you are a new customer. If you don’t get at least a rack rate you should keep shopping around for a while.
