I brought down with me about $3,000 and played almost everyday, high rollers slots ($5-25 machines) and I spent all my money in playing however I walked out of there with about 4,000 in winnings.
I just received an email from a slot host stating there are many changes to the borgata and invited me to contact him in regards to room reservations, dinner reservations, club and shows and anything else in regards to comps etc...
My question is did i really play enough to qualify in order to get a slot host?? Or is the borgata just hurting for business and wants me to go back???

Hi there, I'm confused a bit. You played $5-$25 dollar slots but only earned $117 comps? That seems low.

Regardless, if you are playing that level of slots, you definitely warrant a slot host. I do wonder what changes to the comp system the host referenced. Anyone know anything?

Question Response

Yes I only recieved approximately 137 points in comp and approx $152 in comp dollars. I may have gambled approx $2,000 or so in the $5-25 slots and about 1,000 in roulette.
Another question I have is when Im playing roulette and I put lets say $200 on the table to start and Im playing approx $30-50 a spin how is the casino keeping track when I get about $2,000 in winnings on the table and throw it back to the casino???
I try to spread my betting so that im not putting all my money in one particular area slots,tables etc. however either way it's kind of difficult to tell when your getting the most for your betting style ? Can anyone give any insight there?

I'm still confused. What do you mean you received $137 in points? Borgata doesn't have a points system. If you received $152 in Comps that you received $152 credits (need 1,000) total toward black label.

Hope this helps.

You need to earn an additional 863 by July 05, 2010 to become a My Borgata Black Label cardholder.

I'm saying points but I mean whatever is referenced to the number that borgata is talking about above.

I received 152.00 in comp dollars, and I see what your saying, that I need an additional 848.00 in comp dollars to get my black card.

I just found it odd that I had a slot host contacted me, I didn't think I played heavy enough to get the attention thats all.

Thanks for your help

Do you play in Las Vegas? Your play there can influence things they do in AC--remember they are linked with the MGM-Boyd properties.
About 6 months after they opened, I received a comped room offer from Borgata--I had not (yet) set foot in the casino--I surmise they got my name from play at MGM in Las.

No actually i haven't made it to vegas lately. Im about to get married so my fiancee said no to vegas right now (I guess she thinks that would cause a bit of a problem)

But the first two times I was @ the borgata I gambled lightly

The third time was for three days straight. I mostly only played the high roller slots and a little bit of roulette but in my reading now I am noticing that that may be a bad idea because you get comp half as fast.... is that true ??
