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.
