Limited field. $15,000 prize money. I just go get a voucher for 100
comp dollars.
And don't forget the slot tournaments. Once a month. Limited
field. $15,000 in prize money. That's right, voucher baby!
Did I forget the Keno tournaments? Yes, I think I did. Anyways,
every 2 months. Limited field. $9,000 prize money. I go get a
voucher. <<<
Can you elaborate on these comps, specifically or generally,
as you prefer.
We use comps to play bingo and keno but didn't know
they could be used for tournament entry fees.

First of all I made a mistake in this post about the number of poker
tournaments per week There are only 8 per week not 12.
Secondly, when I made the above post I was not in my right mind. I
had woken up about 3 a.m. after only a couple of hours of sleep.
Shortly thereafter I found a nasty private email from fordscks. I was
none to happy with him before that for calling me a fraud on this site.
This was his second harassing email to me and it made me madder
than a wet hornet. So I blurted out all the above information probably
just to prove I knew what I was talking about.
Aftter I hit the send button I realized I screwed up. No one is supposed
to know about this play but me. Because I'm the one who found it.
I'm not supposed to tell the world. Telling others is cutting my own
throat. I compete against the casinos but my biggest competitors are
other machine pros. It's a dog eat dog world. You find a play you keep
it to yourself. Because to many pigs feeding at the same trough kills the
play.
The one thing a veteran machine pro knows is nothing lasts forever.
I've been through more plays than Carter has pills. Their all gone. So I
find this one. But how long is it going to last? I'd like to see it last
forever. But I know better.
So I must apologize for not divulging the casino I'm currentlly playing.
But I think the information I let loose of in the post demonstrates how
one can use a variety of gambling skills to gain an edge in a time where
finding a decent edge is not easy.
5 or six years ago I would have scoffed at a play like this. It's not a
massive win. It's extremely time consuming. But it's what I do.
The only thing I can tell you about using comp for tournaments is read
all the fine print in the brochures and ask questions. But you already
know that.
I've known for several years that one could get an edge at Bingo in Las
Vegas. The Wizard of Odds in now doing work in that direction. I
figure that top pros run or ran major action at Stations casinos at
breakeven just to get Bingo Packs. Hence, the $50 cap they know have.
