They calculate this out and give you comps based on that.

The two things you can obviously change are average bet and number of hours played. If you're only betting $25/hand but you're playing for 10 hours, you're going to get some decent comps. If you're betting $200/hr, you don't need to play nearly as long to get comps.

Example: $25 average bet x 60 hands per hour (blackjack) x 4 hours x 2.5% = $120

So given the above, the casino expects to make $120 on you, so you might get comp'ed some food court shit, but don't expect too much.

Example 2: $200 x 60 x 4 x 2.5% = $960. Definitely an R-F-B player..

Don't be shy about asking for comps - all they can say is no.

Just charge everything to your room and get it comp'ed later..
This is pretty much dead on. I've done both examples and ended up with these outcomes.

In my experience, if you want the hotel to even look at you, you have to play minimum $25 hand x 4 hours.
