My wife and I are frequent visitors to Tunica. About twice a month. We are both
JOB players. One quick point about Marquee status at Hollywood. When you obtain
the necessary 800 points to qualify, you should stop playing and GO GET YOUR
NEW MARQUEE IMMEDIATLY! Continuing to use your SCREE TEST card, you will still
be earning .33% cashback.
As far as comps at Hollywood, we play a couple of hours and have no problem
getting either buffets or the diner. Twice in the past year, I have gone into
the casino hosts office, and asked about getting a room comp for a weekend
night(Friday or Saturday). Both times they tell me you have to either win $500
or lose $500 to get a room??? Not based on coin-in. Never heard of this
before.
Our normal coin-in is about 3 - 5K. I, too, am like Bill, if we are losing
hundreds by a few hours, we stop the bleeding. In order to be sure we stay at
Marquee status at our level of play, we play on one card. Our bounceback is
always one $15 coupon, and one Sunday through Thursday room. This is per month.
On the other hand, we generally play blackjack at Fitzgeralds (lots of $5
double deck games). I buy in for two hundred and my wife for one, playing 5 or
10$ per hand (always start out with $15 bet while pit person records my card).
We have lately been getting the following, me - four $15 coupons, for each week
of the month, and eight room nights good seven days a week. My wife - four $10
coupons and eight room nights, good Sunday - Friday.
I have started to play JOB there because of the much better bounceback, and
weekend rooms (cheerished at our level of play).
We try to go a couple of time a month. This last month, we went twice, both
times arriving on the last day for coupon one, and leaving the next day when
coupon two is good. This got us back a total of $100 the two stays, compared to
the $15 at Hollywood for the month.
Hollywoods food is better, but the Coffee shop at Fitz is fine. Cashback at
Fitz is only .20% for quarter machines, but the room and bounceback cash much
much better than we can get at Hollywood, playing on one card.
Anyway, be sure to check with the boothings at Hollywood to check on your
Marquee status.
Mike
