Comps (casino)

Comps are complimentary items and services given out by casinos to encourage players to gamble.

Often the player is given a certain amount to spend, but sometimes high rollers might get to order as much food as they want and bring guests.

[citation needed] The next level of comps is complimentary lodging, valet parking and access to more exclusive high roller lounges.

Riders often enjoy complimentary slot play and dining coupons, often worth as much as the bus fare itself.

[4] Technically, every player may be offered comps, but most casinos require players to have played for a given period of time and at a certain level; the duration of play and amount wagered are directly proportional to the level of expected comps.

Theoretical loss is the amount of money a player is expected to lose based on the long run statistical advantage the casino has on the particular game being played.

Online casinos know of the potential for losing money while giving out bonuses and have minimum wagering requirements as a result.
