The bank of roulette machines that are around the pole (like slots) don't allow it, however that new station with the real wheel doesn't say anywhere that its not accepted. I don't know whether or not it works though as I don't get bsp.

Although if you do cash out before playing through the whole BSP, you'll get two tickets: one with the unbet portion of your BSP (which can't be cashed) and one with the remaining balance minus the unbet portion.

I get 2 free rooms per week almost every month lately. I don't play high amounts of blackjack, but I buy in large and that defintely helps.

How much money do you typically lose to the Casino in your Black Jack Sessions each week ?

You could buy in for 1,000,000.... If you betting $10 a hand, that's what you rated on. It's avg bet per hour..for rating players

You'd have to play pretty sub-optimally to have a realistic chance at losing $500 in an hour at $10 a bet.

Not to mention that there is nothing stopping someone from getting up after losing X.

Depending on the floor they might rate a $10 player with a few stacks of greens higher then someone with a hundred or so in reds. The illusion of bigger bets could help raise your perceived average bet.

Probably about 95% of the players that play at Foxwoods.

$1000 isn't large.. But it is compared to most of the people there.

And I bet more then $10 per hand.. Closer to $100 but that's just cause ima degen.

I know plenty of poker players at fw that use the strategy I said.. But are nits and can stick to the small amounts and get comped well.

What's your hourly loss on Average ? Of course you're getting a free room at TwoTrees.

I believe that the player buy in is one of the variables in "the comp formula". But the main ones are average bet and time played.

Betting $10 per hand will get you about 1 comp dollar per hour played (give or take a few pennies). This is no better/probably worse than poker. You will be classified as a table games player that brings very little value to the casino, and treated like the 2/4 LHE grinder.

Now that the Sox are on almost daily, the Bruins games are getting bumped from NESN to NESNplus. I have yet to find a place on property that gets NESNplus. Anyone know of one?

I want to say Hard Rock put it on last season. I think playoffs get moved back to NESN, at least I'd hope they do.

That seems like a silly policy.

I've been in rooms before when they left them unlocked. It made the corner suite 100x better.
