It's really going to depend on how you played your $200, and for how long. If you played $25 a hand for 4 hours a day at Blackjack, then I'd expect a buffet or two. If you played $10 a hand for 2 hours per day, then you'll probably won't get much if anything. It's about the average amount per hand and the number of hours you put in. And, to a certain extent which game you're playing.

And, of course, you have to ask. Don't expect a casino host to show up and hand you his business card asking if there's something he can do for you. That only happens to the Nick Papageorgio's of the world.

It also depends on the casino you gamble at. Higher class joints want to see higher average bets before they'll even look at you, whereas, your $25 bucks a hand will garner more attention at the IP.
