The good news is that ROOM comps are now not supposed to
come off comp dollars. In the past if you played 1000 reward credits you
earned $100 in comps BUT if you stayed there they took $59 away for a
midweek room and $90 for a weekend room. SO in one sense you cna actually
do better now since room comps are not supposed to count against you.
This is pretty much what I have figured. In East Chicago, for the mid to
lowroller it may not be a bad deal. At first I thought, since room offers would
no longer be charged against a comp account, they would simply be curtailed,
but we're still getting the usual one night a month. This works well for us.
We still get to stay at Harrah's very nice rooms for free. We have the chance
of earning the occasional extra comp at Harrah's even though we devote the
bulk of our play 10 minutes down the road at Majestic Star. BTW, I was there
this morning and a large percentage of the multigames on the lowest floor were
out of service and looked like they were being tied in to progressive meters.
