At the casino you use your sail and sign card to put in the slots. Is that how they track you at the tables? Do I give my SS card to the dealer.

Sorry I just don't know.

 

Which cruise line? NCL you get a casino card and thats what tracks your play. Dont know how the other lines work.:o

At the tables, you give your casino card to the dealer. The dealer will give it to the pit boss, and record your info. The pit boss will check on you periodically to estimate your average bet and track how long you are at the table. But allow me to point out that because of the low house advantage for table games, you won't earn a lot of points unless you are betting $50 or $100 a hand, or playing 8 hours a day.

Casinos track you mercilessly. They will comp you on a reasonable estimate on what you will hyothetically lose. Just like you would if you ran a casino. You can never fool them.

 

Therefore, if you bet $1,000 on a blackjack table, you are expected to lose approximately $100 as an average player = they'll comp you approximately 20% of that expected loss i.e. $20.00.

 

That's the way it works.

Are you talking one bet or over a period of time ? Not sure where you are pulling your numbers and whether you're talking a "basic strategy" player as an average player or something else ? Most people playing a non-strict basic strategy will give the house 1.5 to 2% house edge. Playing strictly basic strategy generally leaves a house edge around 0.5%. So how are you calculating $100 for an average player loss ????
