Just signed up for a Red card and want to get Black playing Saturday night. What is the fastest way to get there in Borgata's eyes? Still any kind of promotions going on?

No, I don't have any other casino cards. What's the quickest way to earn comp dollars? My friends are going to play a bit of poker, but I'm assuming that is a really slow way. Is video poker really the way to go? What kind of rate/hr can you reliably get? nrr Jan 30, 09, 9:50 am No, I don't have any other casino cards. What's the quickest way to earn comp dollars?

I only play "regular" slots, not vp. But in most casinos, you earn points half as fast playing vp. What you want is possible if you play $5 slots at full coin--a 20 line game at 5 "coins" per line = $500 per spin:p. Is there a reason why you need Black Card "immediately"? The immediate perks are (1) access to the Amphora lounge (at $10/visit payable with comp$ or cash), (2) special line at the buffet and at check-in (which at times is longer than the regular line:).) baccarat_king Jan 30, 09, 4:07 pm Slots are the fastest way to earn comps and status. Of course, slots also have the highest vig, so you're basically paying for it. I also wonder, as nrr mentions, what's the need for the Black Card? The additional benefits [of a Black Card] are rather limited, as your "real" benefits like comp rooms/suites, meals, spa etc. etc. will be based on your THEO (or gaming theoretical lose) --- not on the color of your card (well, except for the "specific" card benefits as mentioned). With regard to "live poker" no [or very very limited] benefits for that play, only slots/video poker and regular casino-banked table games (baccarat, dice, blackjack, roulette, pai gow etc. etc. etc.) earn you status and comps. |
