Yes, They even have their own little cheery guy who calls the house every freaking day. *Wants to kill Jim* lol

But yea it's all free to them.. as far as I know.

Casino telemarketer? Okay, Host

What I meant to say is that you get comps whether you win or lose.

Figure 40% of expected loss. Based on EV (house edge) of particular games played. But it can vary greatly. And it's hard to know, if you don't ask, how and when you are being rated. Some just do it overall based on a 'clubcard', others, you can go to a table, ask about ratings and comps, give them your card and bet large for awhile to get a better rating overall. ime

We only go four or five times a year, and spread it out over toooo many casinos to get good comps for the most part.

Good Luck and have a great time

Reno Sunday for us. Don't see any pony action yet but will look in the book. MLB opening and NCAA... probably stick to roulette and some slots, but ya never know.

Jeffers, I was going to recommend doing a little study on a game like blackjack, but WV doesn't have table games yet, does it? Are there going to have any actual horse racing going on? I'm have no idea how horse betting works, but I had a good time at the track the one time I went.

And, and also, EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLAR FOR AN EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD!?!

Cripes.

[JlSpitFirelC]

lol.. Ive done horse betting several times.. There is a track about 30-45 mins away from my house.

Table games won't be in West Virginia until later this year unfortunately, but I am nothing special at blackjack. My brother told me to stay away from roulette because he had a bad streak on it and I tend to listen to my brother on most things.

$800 dollars for an almost 19 year old that is. Yes, I agree $800 dollars could be considered a lot for me to be gambling with, but as I said earlier, I only will bring/wager what I am alright with losing.

I suppose you could say the value of a dollar to me is slightly different than it is to other people my age because of how I came to understand it from my brother. He always made money through a number of online business ventures and the way I noticed, was that you had to do...

You know what? Just take my word for it..

I only risk the most of what I should allow myself.

Hope the Ponies were good to liquid today

I get maybe a couple hours sleep before the adrenaline of the jets. (I hate flying, especially hungover)

I'll be the guy who made or busted on the wheel to cover the last two and a half months of BULLSH*T!

I'm not going to 'quit gambling' when I get back but i am going to re-examine my priorities: win or lose.

If it isn't fun, why do it?

Hope you have great luck.
Boy no one ever says they are going to Foxwoods or the Mohegan Sun in here lol.
I'm almost out the door to spend the night at the Sun tonight.
Come on lets go and come to the casino's here in CT.

[ballysdb]

Hey Bingo! I go to Mohegan Sun alot. I just don't have any extra money right now or I would be there. Next time I gamble that is where I'll be. I love A/C but with the new smoking rules (can only smoke in 25% of the casino floor) I cant see driving 3 hours to fight over a jam packed area of the slot floor with angry smokers such as myself! I understand how non smokers feel, and they deserve areas without smoking... I just used to love going there and being free to light up in the halls or on the escalator, basically anywhere I wanted to. Of course I USED to be able to smoke and gamble right on my couch but that is gone now too...I was just looking on my computer at Yonkers Raceway and "casino". They have the lottery type machines. Did you know you only have to be 18 to play there?

I used to make the trek to those 2 casinos twice a week for the longest time. 4 1/2 hours drive each way. Not anymore! One time I even forgot my wallet and didn't notice until I got there. I had something else in my back pocket and thought it was my wallet when I felt for it before I left, but when I arrived I reached for my wallet and out came a brush. I had to turn around and come home. That was a nice 9 hours!

While I'm on that note, another time years ago I drove to Atlantic City and let my daughter stay at her friend's house for the night and then they would go to school together the next morning. Drove the 6 1/2 hours and called her when I got there to make sure she was okay. She was only about 6 yrs. old then. She told me that she wasn't feeling well, so I hopped in the car and drove back after throwing a couple hundred in the 5 dollar VP as fast as I could. No enjoyment that night either.
