Default Re: Why Do Asians Love to Gamble?

[ QUOTE ]
I know of several people that are not even big gamblers, but sign up for comps cards at casinos. They get free room offers at these casinos, while the rest of us get none. The casinos must be on to this as well, hoping that since he's asian, hell be more likely to gamble a lot.

I'm not sure I understand.

Are the people you mention signing up, Asian?

Your post reminds me of a few months ago when I was waiting to check in at a Harrah's and an Asian lady was getting into it with the desk clerk about her room comp. She was waving a mail piece and giving the poor guy holy hell.

Maybe some of the casinos have bought mailing lists targeted at Asians because they believe it's a potential market? Or, maybe we just happened to see Asians who appear on "affluent" mailing lists and are in the casino as a result of a mailing piece.

Your comment, "...while the rest of us get none." could be taken wrong. If you have a card rated at the same level of the people getting room comps, you should be getting the same deal.

I'm not a particularly big customer, but I get a lot of mail from casinos. Right now Harrahs' is offering a free rooms. Another is offering a deal on my player card points toward gas. And the list goes on.
