Best way to earn casino comps (poker doesnt count)

Unlike most other table games, with pai gow you can win big on one hand. Ive seen a lady win 12k from a table min bet.

you're talking about the "fortune" side bet here, not the regular pai gow poker game. that side bet carries an additional house edge of 5-9% which negates any advantage of comp hustling (might as well play slots).

the slow pace and frequent ties in pai gow poker generally earns half the comp rate as other flat-bet table games.

you do not need to spend "mad cash" for VP comps. grinding at a 25c JoB machine at 1000 hands/hour is close to the same amount of gross action generated by a $25/hand blackjack player. and it's almost certain that the VP player will generate better comps with a lower bankroll requirement, and get better bounceback offers in the mail.

I think you're generally better off just paying for the stuff you want and playing the casino games you want. Then if you can get comped for your play, it's a bonus.

I'm not spending my Vegas time trying to grind out $6 an hour with high variance by playing super-fast and super-focused VP. I'm playing poker and having fun doing that, and then I'm playing pai gow and getting hammered while having fun.

This is a standard life +EV play.

Having fun should be at top of the list. No loser wants to stare at a VP screen all day. Craps is by far the most entertaining game. Id go with craps. GL

i take some mild offense to that. i, for one, am a loser who has stared at a video poker screen for circa 15-18 straight hours before. no food. no pee. no poop. no converstaion. just me chocked full of pepsi and nicotine.

typically the casinos with the good video poker dont mind if you start a little puddle on the floor in front of the machine.
that way you can flick your cigarettes in there and dont have to dirty up an ash tray.

the hallucinations after a session of video poker like that are awesome. in fact, i think i was more addicted to the hallucinations than the game after a while.

I highly recommend the book Comp City. It should have exactly what you are looking for.
