Re: .10 cents an hour

In before lock. Believe it or not, it is only in the last few years that poker players got any comps. There are local rooms near me that can't afford to give players comps even today. You should understand that the granny playing penny slots is a far more valuable customer to a casino than a poker player.

My only question to the management would be, "why bother?"

Re: .10 cents an hour

Assuming that the OP got the info correctly. I have no doubt that he believes it but is his source a good one?

Several people have told me things about the room I work in that I know are incorrect but because they heard them from someone in a suit, they believe it.

Re: .10 cents an hour

It's legit and I agree with Venice, just give me nothing.

2 years ago it was a buck, then .50 and now this.

Re: .10 cents an hour

Whereas the Venetian just increased their comps to $2 per hour. I feel lucky.

btw, the way you worded your title and post, a bottle of water and a Snickers costs $0.04 in Des Moines You should feel lucky too!

Re: .10 cents an hour

Stand in a prominent place in the poker room and chop up your card w/ scissors leaving the pieces on the floor. Get a new one next day and do the same. That'd be my move.

Re: .10 cents an hour

If this is really true, I'll be in Des Moines soon. Are these burgers any good? At 4 cents a pop, how bad could they be?

This promo's not gonna last long, they're giving it away in Des Monies!!
