Agreed. I understand where some are coming from with the whole HET tier credits and comps that are earned at Chester can be used in Vegas thing. However, in the long term, you are going to be paying more to get those comps then if you were not comped at all and paid for rooms and meals out of your pocket.
It is insignificant to the recreational player that plays a couple hours a month, and they truly do not care. However, for the player that grinds out a lot of hours a month, it adds up. At 25 hands an hour, that is an extra $25 per hour coming off the table that you now can not get from the other players.
It should not, but it tilts me to hear that people are leaving Delaware Park $4+1 rake to play at Harrah's Chester $5+1 rake, because they only got comped $.20/hour and HET Chester will comp them $1/hour. (By the way, I know that rate is standard for Atlantic City, but has that comp rate even been confirmed for Chester yet?)
