Question about HET (or any casinos ) ADT

Hi,
Would like opinions as to how my ADT would be evaluated in the
following scenarios:

Same coin-in on the same VP each day..

1. Played Mon. didn't play on Tues. played on Wed. No hotel bookings

2. Played Mon. and Tues. No hotel bookings

3. Stayed overnight Mon. and Tues. for the above scenarios

  Thanks,
  Larry F.

The essence of ADT (average daily theoretical) isn't that mysterious:
it's the value of your play over a given period ("theo"), divided by
the number of days within that period in which you establish a
presence in the casino.

The most common way in which you "establish" your presence is through
any activity that adjusts your RC's ... there are a few others
(notably, hotel check-in -- but not necessarily check out).

In your examples you indicate 2 days of play, each with identical
coin-in, on comparable machines. Thus, the absolute theo in each case
is the same.

In examples 1 and 2 you establish 2 days of casino presence, therefore
ADT is identical.

In the third example, there's the question of whether the Wed.
check-out triggers an additional day of "presence", which depends on a
few factors.

As noted, Wednesday will be "tripped" (anotehr way to refer to
recording property presence) if there's RC activity that day. For
example, if you settle any hotel folio charges at check-out against
your RC's, you'll be tripped for the day.

Having RFB status of some sort can unintentionally trip you as well in
AC, where the room tax assessed each new day may be absorbed by the
casino and result in recorded activity on your check-out.

Generally speaking, checkout without RC activity that day is said not
to trip you. I can't confirm from personal experience in AC, not
having checked this carefully before we were changed to RFB/Ltd RFB.

Infer from this info whether your ADT in the third example would be
based upon 2 or 3 days of activity.

The essence of ADT (average daily theoretical) isn't that

mysterious:

it's the value of your play over a given period ("theo"), divided

by

the number of days within that period in which you establish a
presence in the casino.

The most common way in which you "establish" your presence is

through

any activity that adjusts your RC's ... there are a few others
(notably, hotel check-in -- but not necessarily check out).

In your examples you indicate 2 days of play, each with identical
coin-in, on comparable machines. Thus, the absolute theo in each

case

is the same.

In examples 1 and 2 you establish 2 days of casino presence,

therefore

ADT is identical.

In the third example, there's the question of whether the Wed.
check-out triggers an additional day of "presence", which depends

on a

few factors.

As noted, Wednesday will be "tripped" (anotehr way to refer to
recording property presence) if there's RC activity that day. For
example, if you settle any hotel folio charges at check-out against
your RC's, you'll be tripped for the day.

So if I don't play but have breakfast I'm tripped ?
Harry( or anyone else reading this), Is this just an HET rule or
will breakfast trip at other casinos ?

Having RFB status of some sort can unintentionally trip you as

well in

AC, where the room tax assessed each new day may be absorbed by the
casino and result in recorded activity on your check-out.

Unbelievable !

Thanks Harry.
