“Comp” is a casino slang term for “complimentary.” These are the perks you get from slot clubs, as described above. Even if you are not a member of the slot club, immediately after you arrive at that casino, call the operator on the house phone and ask for a slot host. This person is employed by the casino to look after the good players. If you are not yet known at that casino, call the slot host anyway, and introduce yourself. Ask to join the slot club, and the host will help you do that immediately. While you are doing this, ask for the “casino rate.” This is a room rate with a substantial discount over the published room rate and is offered to, and reserved for, the casino players. Membership in the slot club will also help you master the slots strategy.
Only slot hosts, casino hosts, and casino executives can get this rate for your room. By asking for the host immediately, you are likely to get this rate right away, offered by the host in anticipation of your slot action. If you then play little, you will get the rate this time, but maybe not next time, but the point is you did get it this time. If you play a lot and are a good player, then your play will justify that offer, and that will most likely result in your getting other perks, such as the room for free, or an upgrade to a suite, or the total “RF&B,” meaning free room, food, and beverage. You will also make a contact at that casino, and the host will give you his or her business card, with a special reservation number available only to casino guests. From that time on, you will be able to call in and usually get a room even if the hotel is “sold out.” This is because each hotel keeps a portion of their rooms always reserved for casino guests. If you live near the casino and don’t stay at the hotel, then contact the host anyway.
You will get to know someone at the casino at a level which can get you a lot of perks and other help, now and in the future. You may be able to get free dinners, buffets, show tickets, special party invitations, play your favorite slot games anytime and a whole lot of other neat stuff.
