I wonder what the cost in theo was for you for all those bennies at Caesar’s, etc. There is no such thing as a +EV game at CET properties, so you must have been taking some kind of hit, though certainly, you may very well have been more than compensated in comps and such, especially if you value them at full retail (which, of course, you shouldn’t). What kind of coin-in, on what games, did you have to generate to get those goodies? How much do you have to bleed to get (and maintain!)Seven Cookies status or whatever the top tier at CET is called these days?

(It is possible on limited occasions–though not in Vegas–to play 9/6 JOB at certain CET properties on multiple-point days and earn a positive theoretical return, albeit very tiny. It is doubtful, though, based on anecdotal evidence, that you can get lavishly rewarded if you confine your play to only these breakeven opportunities, even with massive coin-in.)
