as you know,  the casino hold for many of these card games is nowhere near that for slot machines. in addition, ratings for table game play are highly subjective. so if you don't think you're being given proper ratings, speak to the pit boss as you leave and/or when you arrive at the table. be polite, but make sure he or she knows what your buy in is and what your average bet is. this is especially important if your average bet is much higher than those of others at the same table. it's entirely possible you were being rated as a $5 minimum player because you just sort of blended in with everybody else at that table!

 

you can also throw a hundred or so in a slot machine every now  and again, even if it's not your thing. it will even out your rating and may - within the computer algorithms - disguise the fact that you're strictly a table game player.

 

as for those other folks getting comps left and right... you may not have the whole story. they might be exaggerating. they also might be strong slot players, who only dabble in table games. or they may not have been entirely forthcoming about how much or how long they play or how much they lost.

 

as for lifetime play, very few land-based or sea-based casinos take this approach. they do take an average of  your recent play over the past several visits/cruises,  but it's very much a "what have you done for me lately" attitude. they really don't care what you did ten years ago, or even five years ago. what did you do on your last three cruises? they are willing to bet (pun intended) that you'll play pretty much the same way on your next cruise.

 

nobody really knows how casino comps are calculated for any casino, but one of my land-based casinos is known to take the average of your last five visits while "forgiving" the lowest performing visit when they do their calculations to determine offers and comps.

This makes sense I guess..as this was cruise number six (I just looked it up) and we really only started betting heavily on these past four. (The first one was a long time ago, then we cruised again with friends that second time)

so…I guess here’s to hoping the offers start coming in…
