Just to fix the english here:

you don't get "rated"... it's not like a movie and you get rated R or PG-13.

The moment you sign up for the casino players card, like the Park Place CONNECTIONS card, or Station's Casino Boarding Pass, they start TRACKING your wins/losses, or "ratings". You can put a nickle in a slot machine, insert your card, and have a "ratings" for that nickle played.

In order to get something free, you need to stay at a table for maybe an hour or so, min bet of $25/hand. Not just a $25 bet or $100 bet (single bet). In the end, casinos normally give you back 5 to 8% of your losses (not 40%.. maybe in Reno, but not Vegas anymore). Some hosts will go as high as 20% if needed, but they can get in trouble for going over that, unless it's a high roller. There was just a HUGE case where the Venetian lost some MEGA top execs and a few hosts for rigging a give-away to a guy who lost $4 mil at the casino... they rigged a promotion to give him a car... so for a $100,000 car to a whale cost them a President, 2 VPs, 3 managers, and about 15 people in lower mgt/casino floor.
