If you are a high roller who is RFB at a casino more often than not the casino will not pay your airfare because of a little trick they use.

Casinos rate players based on their theoretical loss for the time they played. if your theoretical loss is $16,000 for a three day stay, they will probably give you a beautiful suite, comped gourmet meals, other meals, a limo and shows. They are giving you back $6400 in comps — 40 percent of your theoretical loss in other words

They will categorize what they are spending on you as follows:

Meals: $2000
Limo: $60 per ride (let’s say eight rides) $240
Shows: $100 per person per show (two shows, two people) $400
Suite: $2500 per day (three days) $7500

Now you can already see that you have gone way over their estimate of your comp return. They have given you $10,140. Wowee!

But think a moment. The largest price is a suite. I had this pulled on me when I asked a casino for my airfare. Why would I need a suite at a cost of $2500 per day when all I did there was sleep and shower?

So I asked to be put in a regular room for $250 per night and guess what? Yes, they paid my airfare after that.

Now you can find out exactly what they are valuing you at by just asking to see your screen. That means your host shows you exactly how they have you rated, your theoretical loss, and the comp return plus what all the comps are being valued at.
