The amount of your buy-in does not affect your rating.

That is a common misunderstanding.

Depends on the store. Harrah's, it doesn't seem to impress them. MGM, and various other places, it does seem to.

If you buy-in for much more than 20X your average bet, all you''ll accomplish is to piss off the pit crew.

You see these guys sit down, buy in for $500 and start betting $5-10, thinking their buy-in has marked them as big spenders.
Then you see the opposite. People buy in for $20, lose it and buy in again-for another $20. Then proceed to make sure the PB has recorded each of their buyins.

You buy in for $500, bet $25 or $50, then when the boss walks away, you bet $10.

Backcount, buy in for $2000 or $3000 and put out two hands of $100 each. If you do that, the MGM computer opens up the free room spigot and it never seems to shut off.

Come to think of it, neither does the Evil Empire. But I am now simply taking their free rooms and stiffing them completely. Going on my seventh free trip with them, and the free room offers keep coming. No play in response to a free room is the way to do this - don't use the damn card at all.

Only At Harrah's LV?

If you have never had a Harrahs card, they will reimburse you up to $100 in losses for slot play your first day. It is in the form of a cash voucher they mail to you.

Does anyone know if that's only at Harrah's Las Vegas or if it applies to any other Harrah's locations nationwide?

And in LV, does it apply to any Harrah's sister properties: such as Caesars, Paris, Rio, Bally's , Flamingo, or Imperial Palace?

Thanks in advance,

FD

If you've never had a Harrahs card, you can sign up at any casino but Bills, and the $100 loss rebate applies. I think you need to do it in the casino you sign up in, but am not 100% sure.

I think it changed March 1st. My parents signed up and they said it had just changed to $5 free slot play.

I see it's no longer listed on their website, so it does appear dead and gone. They had had that promo for years. It used to be $50, then about two years ago they upped it to $100.
