earning points at slots

When I go to vegas (heading out again in 23 days) I play the slots, but never much at any one casino. I know you earn stuff by playing, so how long does it take to say earn like 1,000 pts? Does it matter how long you play or the amount?

Time is of no significance. It%26#39;s all down to how many credits you play through a machine. Whether this is from your own cash or winnings that you ';recycle'; through the machine doesn%26#39;t matter.





Different players cards have different point earning structures. Impossible to say how much ';coin-in'; is required to earn a specific number of points without knowing which card you%26#39;re asking about.

There is no exact amount of time or the amount of $ played that gets a player to 1,000 points. That said, if gambling pennies, nickels or quarters and not betting much of those, it could take a very long time to get to 1,000 points. I play $1 slots mostly, it all depends on how much play a machine or machines give you and how long you play on when it adds up to 1,000. You can do it on a $20 investment or with an investment of hundreds of dollars. All boils down to if the machine gives a lot of play.




Yes!





Don%26#39;t get hung up on the number of points as as absolute number; different casinos count points differently, some give 1 point for the same amount of play that others give 5 points for; the value is pretty much the same though.





It%26#39;s based mainly on the amount of ';action.'; This is the total amount you wager, doesn%26#39;t matter if it%26#39;s your original amount, or your winnings.





There%26#39;s a formula that varies by casino and in some cases by denomination; some say that the same amount of action on a $1 machine will give more points than on a $0.05 machine.





Video Poker comps are said to be around 1/2 of Slot comps, again based on the same amount of action.





You don%26#39;t say what your bankroll is; if you%26#39;re budgeting $50/day, it doesn%26#39;t matter much what you do, you most likely won%26#39;t be generating enough action to generate much in the way of points/comps.





There are also two schools of thought re: whether it%26#39;s best (from a comp point of view) to do all your playing in one place or spread it around. I don%26#39;t have any knowledge one way or the other on this, sorry.





Some advise to spend your entire trip gambling budget in one day, so it might appear to the casino%26#39;s computer system that you%26#39;re a high roller just in town for one day. (Purpose of this is to generate the emailed and regular mailed comps for free rooms, food, etc, not slot comps specifically).





Anyway, have a great trip and whatever you do, DON%26#39;T PLAY JUST FOR COMPS!!
