The Math Behind Casino Comps |
|
|
|
<br>Casinos do not issue comps based on how much money you actually lost that specific day; they base it on a formula called "Theoretical Loss."<br> |
|
|
|
<br>If you wager $10,000 on a slot machine with a 10% house edge, your "Theo" is $1,000, regardless of whether you won or lost the session.<br> |

|
Working the Casino Comp System |
|
|
|
<br>The pit boss usually only records your initial bets; once they walk away, you can quietly lower your bet size back to normal.<br> |
|
|
|
<br>Finally, always ask the pit boss directly for a comp before you leave the table, such as "Do I have enough action for a buffet pass?"<br> |
