Isle of Capri Comps?

I was wondering if anyone out there is getting comps from Isle of
Capri. I've gone out there four times the last month, averaging about
$3000 coin-in on All American a trip, losing $100 twice, $200 once,
and winning $70 on the other, making a combined loss of $430. This is
probably right at what they would expect to get of my $12000 bet. So
what have I earned in comps? Nothing. Nada. Zilch. That seems
ridiculous to me. I'll still play (it is the only positive AA in
town), but am wondering what the deal is. Anyone know?

I agree, their comps sucks! Lucky Lucy and I were there a couple weeks ago and each played a couple hours on 50 cent and dollar machines. We dropped $600 and when we asked for a comp for the deli -- a stinking sandwich for crying out loud -- we were basically told "go to hell, you get nothing!" At that point we walked to the nearest trash can, threw away our player's cards, and vowed to never step foot in Pile of Debri again.

Their comps are tight, but this sounds like something is horribly
wrong.

Did you check your point totals at the little kiosks before and after
playing? If you gambled that much, you should have built up quite a
few point and the comps should appear automatically**. However, I have
noticed in recent months that the points don't always show up right
away, which means you wouldn't get any comps on that visit. When I
asked at the promotions counter, their response was "The points show up
when they show up. When they do, you can ask for comps then."

Anyway, I would discuss it with them.

**One caveat: I haven't played there in several weeks, and we all know
casinos change their policies frequently. For all I know, maybe they
have made their comp system even more tight than it was.
