Is it OK to ask a host for free play?

Yes. Keep the request proportional to your ADT and pair it with a defensible package (room, resort fees off, coffee-shop dining) for faster approval.

How much free play can I ask for?

There’s no universal number. Hosts comp a percentage of your theo. Balanced requests often clear more reliably than a large free-play ask.

Does free play reduce back-end comps?

Moderate redemptions typically don’t, but burning every incentive mid-trip can limit what’s available on the back end. Ask for a review before checkout.

Can you ask a casino host for free play?

Casino host discussing free play and RFB options with a rated slot and table player

Yes—if your numbers justify it. Free play is a marketing tool pegged to ADT (average daily theo). Ask at the right time with the right proof, and you’ll often unlock more than a flat slot credit—think balanced packages that include room, resort fees off, dining, or even a comped cruise cabin. If you want us to package your request, use the Get Comped form or contact a VIP Executive Casino Host.

When a free-play ask makes sense

Pre-trip: to sweeten a booking on dates the property wants to fill.
Mid-trip: once you’ve already produced theo and plan to extend time-in-seat.
Back-end review: after play, as part of the comp take-off discussion.

Exactly how to ask (scripts)

Before the trip: “I’m ~$<ADT> ADT across two days. If I book Fri–Sun and keep that play, could you package the room and a modest free-play amount?”

Mid-trip: “I’ve logged X hours at $Y average. If I extend two hours at this pace, can you add $Z free play or remove resort fees with coffee-shop dining?”

Back-end: “Could you review for back-end comps? If theo supports it, please take off dining and resort fees; if there’s room, add a small FP kicker.”

Smarter than free play (often easier to approve)

Room + resort fees + coffee-shop dining (balanced RFB tends to clear faster than large FP).
Slot tournament entry (low theo, high perceived value).
Comped cruise cabin routed to cruise lines with the best casino comps; we scan Upcoming Cruise Comps for generous windows.

Slots vs. tables (rating differences)

Slots: simple—coin-in and denom; keep sessions solid and avoid lots of micro-swipes.
Tables: rated on average bet, pace, and hours; protect your average and ask the floor to confirm rating details.
