Casino Bonuses
Many casinos offer various incentives to attract gamblers to their casinos. These vary from free rooms, to free play, to free food vouchers that you can use in their restaurants. They also send players email and snail mail flyers about the latest entertainment they have booked in their casinos in an effort to attract you to come to their property. The casinos are very selective about who they send these bonuses to. For example if you have never gambled at their property or only gambled a small amount chances are that you will never be offered a casino bonus. On the other hand, gamblers who do a lot of gambling will receive all sorts of bonuses. So how do casinos know who to invite and who not to?
The concept of a casino slot card has caught on in almost every casino that operates in North America and I suspect in Europe as well. Basically by inserting the casino slot card into the slot card receptacle the gambler will identify themselves to the casinos computer, which will track every thing they do at that slot machine. The casino will know how long you stayed at that machine, how much you wagered and what your average bet was per minute or per hour.
Using a proprietary algorithm the casinos will calculate and display on a screen for the casino host several statistics about you and the machine will recommend what casino bonuses you should be entitled to based on the amount of play that you have completed over a period of time.
The casino hosts also use this same information to help them decide if they should send offers of free rooms and meals to you to entice you to return at some time in the future. While you are playing at the casino, they will also offer meals and free drinks to entice you to stay in the casino. Basically the motto is “keep them here and they will gamble”. The casinos know that if they can persuade you to come to their property and then keep you at their property, chances are you will be playing the tables or the slots sometime during the day. So take advantage of your casino bonuses. They are part of your winnings.
