Gambling Comps 101 or The Ask Game

Gambling Comps 101 or The Ask Game

I don't know who did it or when it happened, but someone shortened the word complimentary to comp and made it an industry standard.

In casino language, comps are cash or gifts (freebies) that the casinos give to their customers as a reward for gambling with them. It promotes good will and also entices players to be loyalty to the establishment. In order to get comps from the casinos, you must play the ask game.

Most players think that comps are only for the guest who spend big bucks at the casinos and therefore don't ask for them.

This is wrong. There are many different comps given out by the casinos and it depends on how much money you play which comp you might get.

Casino properties give away everything from free candles to promotions that offer free rooms and food.

A small comp that a casinos gives away to everyone is free drinks. Most casinos will give you a beer or cocktail as long as you are playing. I have seen high rollers ( big money gamblers) ask for special drinks such as a rare Scotch Whiskey and the casino would get it to keep him there and gambling.

There is another comp that is generally easy to obtain and that is Casino Rate. The casinos like you staying and playing on property. They are willing to give you a discount on the hotel room rate and if you play enough you can probably get a full room comp.

In order to qualify for comps you need to do two things:

  • First of all you have to get your play rated. This means you must sign up for the casinos player's club and use your card whenever you play the machines. When you play table games you have to ask the pit boss to rate your play.
  • The second thing you must do when looking for a comp is to ask for it.
    No one will ask if you would like a free meal or a free hotel room, you will have to ask for what you want. If your play qualifies for the comp you are looking for you will get it. If not you are told you don't have enough play. You can then inquire as to how much play is required for the comp you are seeking. Most of the casino employees will bend over backwards to keep you on property and playing.

So to recap:

  • Most casinos will give food and beverage comps freely if you ask.
  • Some will give the hotel rooms fairly easy during off peak times and sometime during peak times if you ask.
  • If you gamble big denominations, the sky could be the limit, if you ask.

A friendly smile and a polite inquiry can land you right in the middle of some very nice freebies. Aways play the ask game when you visit a casino.

Happy Gambling!

How Astrology Compatibility Reading Help Your Relationships

How Astrology Compatibility Reading Help Your Relationships
By Javier Fuller

Planets have certain traits and characteristics. You are what your stars have made you. The display of your emotions is linked to your star formations at the time of your birth. Hence planetary analogy is used to understand relationships.

Astrology has an appeal that is difficult to resist. The best of the magazines, the national dailies have a column dedicated to astrology. The rationalists publicly decry astrology; put privately they do read these columns and consult the astrologers.

What Mars has got to do with your car accident? It has something to do. The accident could have been fatal, but for the influence of another star on Mars. You may say again, these are all wild calculations! In all, there are ten planets and 12 different signs where a particular planet could be! Look at the possibility of combinations according to your own mathematical calculations!

In your birth-chart, some planets dominate and the others do not. The dominating planet will influence the personality more.

Based on the calculations of influences of the various planets in a given time, you can identify the good and the bad tides. Knowing the things in advance will help you dilute the intensity of sufferings, but nevertheless the suffering shall be there.

Though the word compatibility has universal application, it is commonly understood in the context of male and female relationships. With every individual, one planet would provide the dominating influence. He will be identified with that planet.

What is the role of will power? The planets are gross bodies. Will power is subtle. It is the simple law of science that subtle is more powerful than the gross. That means you are capable of changing your destiny. How this can be achieved is again a matter of debate. No set rules can define this.

What are the important characteristics of the planets? Moon signifies emotional rapport, so wherever there is mention of the word love, mention of moon is obvious! No lover has referred to his sweetheart, you are my sun or you are my river. Mercury indicates that both the partners are on the same wavelength. With sun, it is fundamental values and approach towards life which is matched well.
