how do you know what comps you have earned at a vegas casino?

Question

i played blackjack at the orleans for hours at about $15 avg hand, but forgot to redeem the comps befoe i left vegas. how do i know what i've earned? i remember trying to ask the booth before, but they sai they keep track of slot play only on the cards and the pitbosses keep track of your play. i plan to make another trip next month, will my points accumulated on the card still be good? will the pitboss be able to still tell how i played?

Answer 1

It takes a few days for table game points to show up.

The Orleans slot club "Club Coast" points do not "zero out" unless you have 13 months of inactivity on your account.

Orleans does have one of the best slot clubs for cash back - .3%

The Orleans is really good about room offers for players. Since you're going back so soon what I would do is call and ask to speak with a Host.

A $15 avg bj bet for 4 hours per day should at least get you free rooms, Sunday through Thursday, unless it's some type of special event, then you should at least get the casino rate.

We go to LV 2-3 times a year for 2 weeks or more at a time and have for over 20 years. We spend a week or two at the Orleans every year.

You're obviously interested in playing the comp game. These are a couple of very good books on the subject.

Answer 2

Most casinos keep the points on the card for 12-18 months before they expire. So, if it's been less than that since you were there, they should be good.

What you should do this time, go see the pitboss ASAP and ask if they can tell from the last time. Probably not, but then ask them to rate you this time - right away. Then they can put the comps into the system and you should be okay.

Answer 3

If you have a card for Orleans your comps accumulated should be good. Now when you play the tables I do not know how the pit bosses could possibly keep track of the money amount played and add it to your card. Those cards are electronic and less there is a slot at the tables I do not think you can comp points while playing the tables.

Answer 4

Call a Casino Host, he can look up your play on his computer and tell you exactly what you have earned. You can even call a Shift Manager of the table games, he can help you as well.
