However, there are some outlier situations, where the credited comps can be surprisingly high. I just had this situation happen to me earlier this year, it was a "Perfect Storm" type of scenario. It was at a MGM strip property that I had never played at before, these situations are ripe for good offers, too bad you can only be a virgin patron once!. Second, it was during the recent slow period where strip casinos are desperate for business. Third, the casino probably had mistakenly put some decent video poker on the floor, 8/5 bonus instead of the usual 6/5 bonus. My offer, with I believe less than $10k play on a previous trip, included: $300 free play; $100/day food/bev; large suite; Limo to/from airport; Pool Cabana. I agree with most of your post.

Most harrahs properties have the theo set at .5% (or Lower!), I have not direct knowledge of MGM rpops, but am told it similar. As far as the independant joints, it's getting to be where they won't comp VP players, require an obscene amount of play to earn a point, and exclude them from drawings and promos. But step right up and get those easy comps....... Show me a casino that has a theo of higher than 2-3% at 9/6 JB these days and i’ll be AMAZED.
