\"\"Land-based and online casinos offer slots comps as a way to reward you for your play. These rewards vary based on whether you’re playing online or at a brick-and-mortar location.<\/p>\n

Online comps include cashback, free spins, and deposit bonuses. Land-based rewards consist of hotel stays, meals, free drinks, free play, and luxury items\/services.<\/p>\n

It’s obviously exciting to think of earning these freebies on the side of your play. But the comps that casinos offer slots players have been diminished today.<\/p>\n

That said, I’m going to discuss whether or not it’s still worth focusing on these comps while playing slot machines.<\/p>\n

How Much Are Slots Comps Worth?<\/h2>\n

The amount of comps that you receive based on your play can differ from casino to casino. But you’ll generally be comped at a 0.1% rate on your total bets.<\/p>\n

If you were to bet $1,000, for example, you’d receive $1 worth of comps. This isn’t much when considering that the house edge will cause you to take on far more theoretical losses than this.<\/p>\n

You can increase the rate at which you receive comps. A casino may comp you at a 0.2% or 0.3% rate if you’re a bigger player.<\/p>\n

However, the comps you receive will never equal the potential losses it takes to earn them.<\/p>\n

How Have Slots Comps Changed?<\/h2>\n

\"\"Casinos used to be far more generous with the rewards they gave slots players. It wasn’t extremely difficult to earn free meals and buffet passes two decades ago.<\/p>\n

Times have changed, though, with casinos now being more stingy with rewards. You can still look forward to earning some decent comps, but nothing like in the past.<\/p>\n

Much of this is attributed to casinos focusing on other areas like entertainment and fine dining. Less focus is put on slots players, which leads to fewer rewards.<\/p>\n

Are Comps Still Worth Chasing?<\/h2>\n

Casino rewards aren’t going to make you rich. Therefore, you should never force play just to earn more comps.<\/p>\n

However, you also need to take advantage of comps whenever they’re available. Earning extra rewards on your slots play is a nice bonus on anything else you win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
