I'm 0 for 4 on the $500 machines, one coin spin. Waiting to hit one soon :).
Did 2 spins last trip after riding one of the $25 single coin machines up to $1000. Felt pretty irritated after it didn't hit for nuthin... In retrospect, should have just driven it back into the $25 machine...:D |

Comps are based on your coin-in (how much money you run through the machine), and loosely on how much time you play at the machines.
The more coin-in, the better the comps. Considering the hold on most slot machines (even the high limit machines), you are paying for these comps dearly. :D As stated above, playing $500/slots for free drinks is not a particularly good idea. (even if, the drinks in high-limit are of a more premium quality) ;) In any event here's the rough math -- $2,000 coin-in. Average hold on $100 slots on the Strip has been about 5% over the past 12 months. They don't break out anything over $100, so we'll just use that. This makes your theoretical value to the casino is $100, and they'll probably comp you 30-40% of this, so maybe you can get a free meal at the coffee shop... And generally they'll give you the same comps whether you win or lose. And FWIW, the hold percent is quite a bit lower (~3%) on the $25 slots, interestingly. Compare that to 8% on the quarter slots and nearly 12% on the penny slots! :eek: |
