The host was more inclined to comp my whole trip and gave the impression the gf's play wasn't enough to impress the casino.
In most cases a $25/average bet at tables games is going to "hurt you" more than help you. IMHO, your girlfriend would have been better off NOT using a players card for her blackjack play. It's all about the "profile" you want the casinos to "see." You DO NOT want them to ever see you as a $25 blackjack player.

Well typically she's a 5 dollar player but was on a hot streak.

She likes the table games because it's social.

I think she understands she won't be majorly comped player but has hopes to get a free room one day lol

If you are playing craps, it's a very very good idea to lay some bets for the dealers. Even a couple bucks on the pass line or a dealers choice will ingratiate you to the pit bosses. It works well enough that they exaggerate sometimes for you

My general opinion is if you are a slot and table player... small table play (recorded and rated with a players card) can only hurt you. Obviously, if you only play tables, you do not have a choice.

It's not like a mileage program, where adding your "number" to get miles from SEA-LAX does no harm, even though adding your "number" gets you a lot more miles when you fly SEA-NRT (a very "general" broad comparison).

Always. Much of what Max Rubin said back in Comp City is still applicable today.

I agree but you can bring a horse to water...

She always ask me to join her to play at the table. I have to remind her I will never play the table. Like you said I only want slot play to go to my profile and I hate playing tables.
