Imo, paying ten dollars and getting a ten dollar free slot play instantly would be fine to me. But playing hundreds and thousands to get a ten dollar company is ridiculous. You aren't always going in for a several hour play session.
I do admit there are people sitting and playing a penny just to get free drinks. I am not really a drinker at all, but I don't want it to become one more game and inconvenience. Again, more issues are mobility. A lot of time you wait a good hour before finding a waitress and another half hour for her to come back. Although this seems to be a bar top discsussion at the moment.
Again, side topic, but I say with the food stamp issue. We live in an electronic age. My card should have stockpiled the info and the light should tell the wait staff, I can have drinks or not. Often a person has to move while wait on a drink. Losing hundreds while waiting on a cocktail does defeat the purpose. I don't want tethered to a machine. I see the need for them to update their purposes, but as a player and them catering to non players more and more, they are running players out the door. Again, waiting in the buffet line as a second or third tier players with everyone trying to get their ten dollar deal. You are losing my play and my patience. They have decided that players aren't worth their time and just want to keep playing get five or ten dollars from non players. Just tell players xyz, quit changing the rules and make the rules convenient and to our advantage and not more nickel and dime for the casinos. We are giving them money and they want more. People are staying home at their home casinos or finding new hobbies. My tv isn't watching now football because football has turned into pathetic 24 hour news channels. I want entertained.....as the pamphlets say...when the fun stops.
And again, I very rarely have a cocktail. Not much of a drinker.
I agree with you, your players card should tell them all they need to know. I seldom ask or beg for comps of food or anything else. I may drink a few beers and bottles of water, but certainly don kill 'em on drinks. once in a while I will ask for a pack of smokes while at the table games. if they say no, I pick up my chips and leave. no begging, no arguing. meanwhile, the others at the table are slamming a "free" cocktail every 10-15 minutes with no limit in sight. the dealer usually agrees with me that my play should warrant a least a pack of smokes as I am not pounding cocktails. oh well, maybe they will get the message, maybe not.
