How Hosts Evaluate Value (ADT & Theo)

Most programs score your worth via Theoretical Loss (Theo) and Average Daily Theoretical (ADT). In short: average bet × decisions/hour × house edge × hours, averaged per day. Hosts advocate best when your data is clean: consistent bet sizes, 2–4 hour sessions, and confirmed table ratings.

When to Ask (Timing & Script)

Approach a host after you’ve logged a complete day of play so there’s real data:

“Hi, I’ve been playing [game] at an average of [$X] for about [Y] hours today/yesterday. Could you confirm my rating and let me know what offers are available?”

Structure That Unlocks Luxury Perks

  • Card in, always (slots & tables); no gaps in tracking.
  • Concentrate play into 2–4 hour blocks; avoid micro-sessions.
  • Keep averages predictable; don’t whipsaw mid-session.
  • Confirm table ratings (avg bet & hours) before leaving.

FAQ: Working With a Casino Host

Do hosts prefer slots or tables?

Neither—hosts prefer predictable data. Consistent bet sizes and 2–4 hour blocks produce the clearest ratings.

When should I reach out?

After a full day of recorded play. Then, ask with specifics (average bet, hours) so the host can check meaningful data.

Is cruise value better than land?

Often yes: the “room” is the ship. A similar bankroll can translate into cabins, upgrades, and VIP events when structured well.
