Inactive/dormant accounts are gold mines for guys who think out side of the box. There are more than one way to skin a cat. If you are a regular losing ploppy a gift probably isn't needed.ĪxelWolf, I agree with you about tipping, bribing or WHATEVER. Some have even helped known AP's in gaming the system even after knowing the AP's are winning players. Well tipped Hosts can even help you out in tricky situations and give you great information. Tipping them gives them incentive to be more flexible with you.

It's true hosts have some general guide lines, but oftentimes they are very flexible and will over comp. You can tip/bribe your way to better rooms/comps/free play. Long after the gift card has been redeemed, the chocolates consumed, the wine drunk and the scarf has worn out or been lost, that letter will be remembered. Is your tip a thank you, a bribe, you trying to follow protocol or a combination? I've mentioned in similar threads that a heartfelt handwritten letter to the casino praising your host will do wonders. For some reason scarves always seem to pop up on these lists.

The lady you describe should appreciate a gift card, chocolates, wine or a nice scarf.

It may be prohibited and it is awkward and tacky. If I haven't talked you out of it, then let me answer your question.īefore you do anything, find out the casino's tipping policy. Think about how a host gets paid by the casino. Your host should be the one giving you the gift. I'm certainly not calling anyone a chump for having a host or for tipping one, only for thinking they're special. If anyone has to think they're special to justify their losses who am I to burst their bubble? As one of our frequent posters likes to say 'never wise up a chump'. If people want to believe otherwise or think that the host goes the extra mile for them then, I have a bridge for sale. Regardless of what anyone claims, anything your host does is based on your play and play, in this case, is code for losses. I've been a 'VIP' for about 1.5 years but didn't get her anything last year - never really thought of it.

What kind of gifts have you guys given to your casino host before? Anything $50 and under doesn't have to be 'approved' by her boss so that's about the range I'm looking for.
