Should You Join a Slots Club?
Should You Join a Slots Club?
Absolutely! If you're going to be playing video poker, you should definitely join. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. There is no membership price or costs of any type to be a member. Outside of the few minutes it might take to do the application process that gets you going, which is nothing more than getting your basic information, the membership has nothing to do with income level or credit information, there is no other effort needed to enjoy the many benefits.
Some players feel that they don't gamble enough to even bother signing up. It's not how much you're willing to risk at the tables, it's the amount of action you give those machines that counts. Well, you might say, I'm only going to play with $20. That $20 may earn you $50, $100, or more in comps if your luck is good.
Let's say you get on a roll with that $20 and work it for several hours or more of play before walking away with $22, for $2 in profit. Or let's just say that the machine swallowed up that $20. Either way, you've possibly generated enough action to activate some comps. In total, if you added up all the bets you made during that playing session, it will perhaps have added up to hundreds of dollars in action. That's a lot more significant than the mere $20 you thought you were wagering. The actual action was much higher than the actual wager.
Many players don't realize this and lose out on benefits they otherwise could have accumulated and taken advantage of.
Getting Started
Joining a slots club is as easy as filling out an application form. The Slots Hosts are usually located in the rear of the casinos, but if you can't find them, ask any of the personnel and they can probably send you in the right direction. I usually find that the security guards are the best employees to ask, especially in casino that have a security officer posted at a central deck near the cashier.
The application process for joining is simple and the application itself won't take long to fill out. The casinos are mostly concerned that they can properly identify you (they'll require a valid ID) and get you on their mailing list to keep you abreast of the latest and most exciting developments from their slots club.
Keep in mind that this application is simply a formality; nobody is going to get turned down. They have no interest in your credit history or how much money you make. This is not a credit application, only an application to get you going as a slots member and earn your benefits.
