Default Re: Getting Comped

Typically you are comped on amount of action x house advantage x 40%.

So for instance, if you bet black chip, play 200 hands/hour that means you give $20,000 worth of action. House advantage of BJ is about 0.5%, so the house expects a profit of $100. Of this they're willing to comp you 40% so you'll get $40 worth of comps per hour. After 3 hours you can probably get your room comped, after 5 hours probably a Room-Food-Beverage (RFB) comp.

The trick is that it is the Pit Boss that keeps track of your action. So at the beginning of your session tell the pit boss (or the dealer who will tell the pit boss) that you want to be rated. Then make sure that most of the time he looks at you, you bet bigger, then revert back to normal betting when he isn't. This could make your rating better than what it really is. If everytime the pit boss looks at you, you have a $300 bet out, he might think that you are giving 3 times the action you really are giving.
