Slot Clubs and Tournaments

     

The one area where a slot player can help themselves is with slot clubs. All casinos have some version of the slot club. Players use a player's club card in the machines which tracks their play. The casinos calculate comps based on your play. Most slot clubs will give you the option of cash back or other comps. Check around with the casinos in your area for the details of the slot club, as the formulas used to calculate comps vary. If you are going to play slots, why not get the best deal in comps?

In general I like all casino tournaments. The reason is that the casinos almost always split all the entry money amongst the winners. In a tournament of pure chance, like slots, everyone has the same chance of winning.

Most of the time there is an entry fee, but some casinos have free tournaments as a way of getting people into the casino.
