the first 2 years i played without getting any cards (my stupidity), finally one floor manager told me to get a card because she recognized i was coming almost every week. i got a red card and in about a month i was promoted to the black card. i play rarely in the high limit tables (roullette) or most of the time at the roullette tables by the entrance. i stay around 5-6 hours easily every time i go, the point system is a little funny in my opinion. one time i played from 11am in the morning till 8pm in the evening. i got close to 600 points on my card, i didn'y buy a lot of chips, the most $1,000. after that i went to the high limits, spent $3,500 in 2 hours, ended up getting only 55 points.. so i am not sure what the logic is, is it how many hours regardless of the amount, or is it how much chips you buy? i also get the impression that if the managers see you tipping well, i have a feeling they rate you better, i wouldn't sign in blood for this though.

Most casinos rate table game players by the average bet multiplied by the amount of time spent playing. So if you lose $50,000 in one spin of the roulette wheel and go home, you might be a player the casino should shower with comps -- but unfortunately the way the system is set up that amount of play would barely register.
Tipping the staff usually does result in more favorable casino ratings. Don't be shy about asking the pit bosses about ratings and comps.
