I wonder if they get subtracted from the players fund when they are printed or redeemed.

Re: The Arena Poker Room at Casino Arizona's Talking Stick Resort (Scottsdale, AZ)
Stopped by here on my cross country road trip. Beautiful room! But the games at the 3/5 level are some of the toughest $5 BB I've seen in the nation. Not too many incredibly fishy regs, from what I've seen. I miss Foxwooods already
Then again, maybe that's because I was there on weekday afternoons/evenings.

Besides the tickets after 8 hours of play, we also get a small amount per hour. I didn't realize I had X amount of $ on my card, and have been using it when I don't have a ticket.
So the tickets expire...or...whatever/it depends. But how long does the small amount of $ we get per hour stay on the card? Does it ever expire? Just looking at the total I had I imagine it has been accruing since last year.

Although I was told at the Player's Card desk that the $$$ drops off after a year I guess it would be a good idea to double check but I think that it's going to turn out that you should cash it out every 6 months or so if you don't use it to pay for things regularly.

1. food comps do not subtract from players fund
2. ask a floor manager, they are always willing to help (if ur tix expired, or other issues)
3. while food is not great, its decent, and waitresses are very helpful in any specifics and needs you have to the way food is prepared. (i am a very picky eater  )
4. player fund does have expiration, the rumor is 12 months.
5. (personally, i miss drink tix, sigh........  )

Think you are wrong here...unless you are not talking about the jackpot fund.
Because THEY ARE taken from the jackpot fund.
On bottom it clearly says "Charge to Poker Room HPF"
HPF stands for house promotional fund, aka jackpot.

Re: The Arena Poker Room at Casino Arizona's Talking Stick Resort (Scottsdale, AZ)
ergo, grab as much food as you can before they give it away to someone else.
It's in the casino's best interest to give all these comps possible. The money comes out of the fund, and then gets spent in their stores. They lose a tiny percentage of the dollar price...
Anyone wanna bet that they subtract the money from the fund, ticket redeemed or not?

I think food is better than average & the tickets out of the jackpot is always what I assumed so can't say that bothers me...
Wish the tickets were just on the card rather than paper print out every time.

Re: The Arena Poker Room at Casino Arizona's Talking Stick Resort (Scottsdale, AZ)
so insane that the comps come out of the JP fund.
raking 6 bux a hand isnt enough I guess

Y'all remembered to count up those comps on your income taxes right?

The real crime is that the "jackpot" money isn't jackpot money, it's "player promotional money," meaning that every little thing that ever comes back to you in terms of promotional money (football, splash pots, food, tournament overlays) comes out of that fund.
...and the best part about overlay tournaments is that if you're playing a $100+20 with a $1000 guarantee, and 9 people show up, and the casino has $1080, they're still using $100 of the "jackpot" money to cover the overlay, since the $180 worth of rake doesn't count.
Players need to know where their money goes.
