Freeplay benefits no longer a cost-effective technique to attract and retain customers

from Jean’s column ‘Big Data’:

caesars continue to cut my comps/freeplay.

as a result, I now stop playing when I hit a jackpot.

I no longer do I continue to play a -EV game to reach the next tier credit bonus level.

I take my profits and leave immediately. F them!

so what does the casino now use as a cost-effective technique to attract and retain customers?

.

It would appear nothing because there are enough ploppies that don’t care. Many don’t even want to bother with slot cards.

Many casinos seem fond of Hot Seat promotions. I complained when Harrah’s Southern California exchanged 10X/5X Point Mondays for Hot Seat. Promotions supervisor told me this was just as valuable for players. I told her maybe for 1c players that want to sit at their machine and just play a few hands at the top of each hour for the drawing. Not so much for $5/$25 players.
