Tips:
1. Read Max Rubin's book "Comp City" and Jean Scott's "The Frugal Gambler"
2. Ask what the criteria in average bet and time played.
3. Ask specifically about : casino rate (the discounted room rate for qualified gamblers), comp rooms (Free room), and RFB (Room, food, and beverage). They should be able to give you a definitive answer.
4. Realize that all is not equal and a $25 average bet might not even get you a buffet at Bellagio, but could get you a RFB at a downtown joint.
5. Be inquisitive, but courteous to all parties: hosts, bosses, dealers, etc. I can tell you for a fact the nicer you are to employees and they more they enjoy seeing you the more strings they will pull for you (i.e. higher average bets, free tickets, buffets, advice, etc.)
6. Don't try and skimp or cheat them on their rating of you. If they feel you are trying to pull something over on them, they may downgrade you or not rate you all together.
7. Tip: Even dealers and cocktail waitresses can say a few words or have connections higher up that may get you more than you actually deserve.
8. Make them want you to come back. If they value you as a customer and want your repeat business, they will bend over backwards for you.
9. If you don't ask, you won't get. The worst they can say is no. However, don't ask for 12 to the gourmet room when you've played 10 bucks a hand for 2 hours, be realistic.
10. Finally, be courteous. Casino staff deal with all kinds of ignorant a**holes tourists day in and day out. If you get to know them personally they will remember you and do anything for you. An example is a customer I knew remembered the shift boss's birthday and brought him some cookies she made. Needless to say, after that she got just about anything she asked for.
Hope that helps.

golden nuggett I did not ask for food compsI did ask for the room to be comped.
4 days 18hrs playing avg bet 87 =comped one night at 69 bucks
now the old showboat or a station casino
for that I would get rfb and maybe 2 show tickets or a round of golf for 2
general in your case at g.n. shrink will make sure they take care of you

Agree with above post...MGM is horrible at comping. Played craps for about 6 hours with minimum bet passline $20.00 and on MOST hands had the table filled with up $500.00. They comp'd 1 buffet. Now would The Mirage, Treasure Island and the Nugget comp the same, since they are all owned by MGM-Mirage. Or would they comp different because they are different properties.
I, without any embellishment can say that I have gotten HUGE comps while risking very little in terms of my bankroll. How have I managed this? First of all, I have gotten close to a good host. Secondly, I only play the don't pass, and only let each player beat me for one roll. I learned this from a good friend, and it has worked out very well. The casinos have me at an average bet of $400.00 per hand, and the odds of me losing more than 2k at a sitting are very low. Many times I break even, and many times i actually win. You need to do this at the bigger casinos, and you will do great with comps. I get nice suites and nice dinners at the Palms, Bellagio, etc. I swear that I don't risk a lot considering how over-comped I am a lot of times. GL to all, but always know that you have to go in willing to lose some coin in exchange for the concert tix, good dinners, and nice rooms.
