If I were running a locals’ casino, I could double my business just by handing out buffet coupons, etc. rather than player-specific comps.
Why hasn’t this occured to anybody? You can’t even really say it has occured to CET, since the coupons you got were obviously a super-special perk for the absolute best players. Given that comps in general have tightened up so drastically in recent years, any value-adding change would be welcomed by casino customers. Wouldn’t people play longer if they would earn comps that could be used as gifts (or sold on EBay, for that matter)? It’s not like it would cost the casinos anything to make that possible. Such a move would double a given casino’s business at no cost! However, it’s so simple, easy, effective, and obvious that no casino suit will ever think of it.
