It's not just table games and slot machines that offer comps these days! Poker players offer loyalty to a poker room, help fill games, provide a valuable income to the property, and expect something for their action too.
While many rooms offer a free-roll tournament or a jacket or hat for certain levels of hourly play, most rooms also offer a little something in the way of cash or comps. A buck an hour is a reasonable benchmark.
At Lake Tahoe, the Montbleu offers just that, $1 an hour. Down the street at South Shore the Lakeside Inn offers $25 in free slot play for every $1,000 cumulative live game buy-ins.
In Reno, the Atlantis has a very nice room and also offers $1 an hour, but across town at the Grand Sierra players get $2 per hour of live play, and the Pot of Gold Tournament starts December 1st.
Laughlin
In Laughlin, Harrah's offers Total Reward members Reward Credits for their play. Down Casino Drive at the Colorado Belle, players earn $1.25 an hour and at the Riverside the poker room players get $5 cash for three hours of play each day.
VegasThere's nothing wrong with expecting something for your action. So don't be afraid to ask. Here are some rates:

- Boulder Station $1 but $3 3AM to 9AM
- Golden Nugget $10 for four hours daily

Foxwoods will give a $10 food voucher after 6 hours of play but you need to ask. They will also give discouted room rates. When you call the front desk with a “usecode” that gives a nice 30%-50% on rooms during promotions.
$10 food voucher is pretty nice! Thanks for the update.
How about a shotout for the casinos on Pahrump Nev. A great place for gaming fun and relaxing. Liberal comp’s offeded. No split pot bingo and 1 to 6 anytime holdem poker.
The Golden Nugget in downtown LV offers a 10-dollar food credit after four hours of play-not cash(as of March 2011). It’s good for the buffet or snack bar. I used to go to the snack bar because the 10-dollar credit isn’t enough for the buffet.
This is the best poker room downtown.
Thanks for the note, El. I’ve had some good luck at the Nugget, and I’ve got a soft spot for any place my daughters love (because they can swim with sharks and ride the long slide into the pool).
It’s actually a nice and helpful piece of information. I’m glad that you simply shared this useful info with us. Please stay us up to date like this. Thanks for sharing.
