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

Yes—if your numbers justify it. Free play is not a favor and it’s not random. It is a marketing expense tied directly to your Average Daily Theoretical (ADT). When your play supports the ask and it’s made at the right time, hosts often approve more than a flat credit—balanced packages like room, resort fees off, dining, or even a comped cruise cabin clear faster and with fewer objections.

When a free-play ask makes sense

  • Pre-trip: to enhance a booking on dates the casino needs to fill.
  • Mid-trip: after you’ve already generated theo and plan to extend play.
  • Back-end review: after checkout, as part of the final comp reconciliation.

Exactly how to ask (scripts that work)

Before the trip:
“I’m running about $<ADT> ADT across two days. If I book Friday through Sunday and keep that play, could you package the room and a modest free-play amount?”

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

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

Smarter than free play (often easier to approve)

  • Room + resort fees + coffee-shop dining (balanced RFB clears more reliably).
  • Tournament entries or event invites (low theo, high perceived value).
  • Comped cruise cabins routed to cruise lines with the best casino comps, often confirmed in writing.

Slots vs. tables (why ratings differ)

  • Slots: rated cleanly on coin-in and denom; avoid fragmented micro-sessions.
  • Tables: rated on average bet, pace, and hours—protect your average and confirm the pit’s rating while you play.

If you want us to package your numbers and route the ask correctly, use the Get Comped form or connect with a VIP Executive Casino Host. Our goal is a yes that’s defensible and confirmed, not a vague promise.
