Comps, a small word that means so much to so many recreational gamblers,
is short for complimentary - as in, "This one's on us!" Casinos
are famous for doling out free gifts and services that add up to a lot of
money to their most loyal and "high-rolling" clientele. But it
isn't the pure joy of giving that inspires such benevolence - it's the desire
to have you stay and play at their house, exclusively.
Comps come in all sizes and packages, designed to accommodate all gambling
budgets and styles: the honeymooners, vacationing couples, swinging singles,
entrepreneurs, the lonely and forlorn, the young and restless, weekend "regulars".,
tourists, retirees - you name it, there's a comp waiting somewhere with
your name on it. All you need to do is know where to look - and then ask!
Many casinos provide special promotions and clubs to entice slots players.
If you are a regular player or tend to stay in one hotel/casino while
you are gambling, join a slot club can save you hundreds of dollars
in room and board expenses. As a club member, every dollar you drop
into a machine earns you special discount credits and sometimes even
cash back. To cash in on these deals, speak with the casino's slots
host or hostess on your next visit.

Once you join the family, you will immediately earn casino credits
for cash and comps each time you play a slot or video poker machine.
To start just visit the casino slot club booth and ask to sign up.
The host or hostess will tell you how the program works, ask you to
fill out an application, and give you your own plastic club card. When
you sit down at a slot machine from that moment on, inset the club card
into the special card reader. The reader will either start spitting
out tickets or automatically register the total amount of coins you
have played into the slot club's central computer. When you leave one
machine, take your card and insert it into the next machine you play,
or you'll miss earning more valuable credits.
At the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, for example, you get one ticket
for every $75 you play. By the time you're done playing you can easily
have a trail of tickets a few feet long, and you can redeem each ticket
at the slot booth for 50 cents. In addition to the cash value, a sizable
collection of tickets will not only get you free-meal comps, it'll let
you move to the head of the restaurant line with the rest of the VIPs.
.
Some clubs will allow you to earn credits and comps by playing quarter
machines and higher. Others require minimum play on dollar machines
or higher. If you are a quarter-machine player, do not step up to the
dollar machines simply to earn slot club comps and bonuses. You will
be playing beyond your risk level and bankroll, and any credits and
comps you earn will not be worth the added risk and potential losses.
If you play quarters, join slot clubs that reward quarter players. There
are fewer of them, but they do exist.
.
Free Spins: Wall Street Fever also features the Free Spins symbol. When three or more of these symbols appear on the screen during one round, you win Free Spins. The more of these symbols you have on the screen, the more Free Spins you win (according to the paytable). The symbols do not have to follow any payline, nor do they have to be consecutive. It does not even matter, whether the paylines they lie on, are activated or not. They just have to be on the screen.
