I have read somewhere that you should play a minimum of 4 hours per day at table games in order that your ADT does not decrease. How correct is this?

It doesn't make a difference ..... If you play four hours at 100 or 16 hours at 25 , it's the same exact adt

I understand that portion of it WoN, but I keep reading about people advising you to play a minimum of 4 hours a day.

I think the four hours comes in as an industry standard to say hey 4 hours is enough action to show the player gave the house a "fair" shot of winning the player's bankroll

Tables, they care a lot about time on games. My impression is you want to average 4hrs/day min.

This is a quote from BBB.
This is the question that I wanted to ask. If I only had about 2 hours to play, would it be equivalent ADT if I play $200/hand for 2 hours as opposed to $100/hand for 4 hours?

If I play longer as WoN had said, then it is a mute point because I would have played longer than 4 hours.

Yup just like you stated above in the other example. However, the only difference is the 4 hours player will be comped better

I would think most would visit the host desk (if they dont have a host) prior to check out to see what they could get comped.

I think that was the question that I wanted to ask. So the ADT for $200 at 2 is the same as $100 at 4, then why will the 4 hour player be comped better. Is there a time trigger that is set at 4 hours? Does the casino feel that 4 hours is enough time for them to have a shot at your money. I could play $1000 for 24 min and my ADT is the same as well.

I would argue that in reference to what we are speaking of it's going to make a very very small difference I have been comped the same playing 1k a hand four 8 hours as playing 4K a hand for 2 hours

That four hours comes from most places say 4 hours is what they want per day for a room comp based on whatever there average bet norm is for rooms- adt is really something totally different and the time play is completely subjective from the host - those are just the basics - who dat- you have my number call me if you need a better explanation

I was told that I could not get free offers from Palazzo anymore because I gambled 11 hours and 45 minutes in three days instead of 12 hours. I mean, I can stay other places so whatever but it seemed a bit arbitrary to me.

The whole ADT thing is considered kind of holy in the casino world. Unbelievable.

Take player A that plays one day a week and has an ADT of $3000
and
Take player B that plays three days a week with an ADT of $2000.

Clearly player B is more valuable to the casino than player A, however if there is a busy day and minimum requirement for a room will be put at ADT $2500, then player A will be given a room and player B not.

The important thing I can strongly suggest, is to never play the typical "I had just 5 minutes left" on the last day of departure, as these will lower your ADT dramatically.

Your example is not good. Player 2 is more valuable. You should have said adt of 3k vs adt of 1k after 3 days

With CZR it can have benefits in places you have never been as a first visit baseline, at least for free rooms. But after a visit there, you are rated based on that play and hurting your ADT in another city will not affect that one. At least in my experience. You have been all over, have you had the same experiences?

Example:

Customer has never been to Lake Tahoe but has a good AC ADT. Customers gets a free room no problem. Plays at LT and starts keeping offers there based on visit.

Customers destroys AC ADT but customer will still get offers from LT based on that visit. AC play did not affect LT.

Sorry I missed this post - I played a lot of different stuff but I was out there on a room comp during the week for one of their slot tournaments, it was not a weekend or anything.

I played a combination of video poker 5 play dime quick quads and some dollar VP, pie gow at $25 to $50, some $15 free bet blackjack and Crazy 4 poker.

I guess they didn't like the fact that I played some of that quick quads instead of all single line dollars. But the funny thing was all they would tell me was I hadn't played enough time to qualify for another free room and that's when they told me I played 11 hours and 45 minutes and had I played 12 hours I would've been OK. It just seemed weird. It really doesn't bother me that much though because I don't need to be playing there to try to keep comps. I get fair treatment at TI and I can pretty much always get something free or very close to it from the Caesars family even if it's only Harrahs

Ok, let me come up with another crazy example:
Let’s assume you are in a city with many different casinos next to each other. You decide to visit two different premises during a two day stay. Now if you decide to play a full day in one casino and the next day a full day in the other casino, your ADT in BOTH casinos will be twice as big as playing half day in one premise and the other half in another for two consecutive days while over that two day period you end up giving both casinos exactly the same amount of business.

The bottom line is most people don't understand adt. Adw adv. anw And more -
For instance people expect comps playing 1 job
At 5k coin in an hour you have a value to the casino of 25 dollars per hour if you play 8 hours a day you shouldn't expect anything more then a buffet comp

yes, it's been my experience.

my home casino = Horseshoe Baltimore.
I visited Atlantic City once in the past 3yrs, which was last month.
three $5k coin-in days at AC = $75 free play each week for the next couple of months.

so I stopped gambling at Horseshoe Baltimore. only go there for the free food in Diamond lounge.
swipe my card to get in and eat.
my adt for each visit I do that = $0.

I no longer get any offers at Horseshoe.
since they nerfed everything, including swapping promo chips to Direct Bet slips, I don't care.

March Madness is always tough for rooms but I'm over 40,000 tier points so obviously I'm doing something wrong!

My friend is a seven star and usually with his host I can get something comped so I probably will have to go that route.

how much have u lost to get comped nobu?

I did three $25k coin-in days the one week I've been in Vegas this year. I'm up +$500 and I can't even get a comped regular room at Caesars, much less nobu.
Can only get comped rooms at the lesser properties

At 30 hands per hour and four hours per day, you're worth $60-70 (per day). You're lucky to get anything more than a buffet, maybe cheap off weekend rooms in Vegas. Your tier credit total doesn't matter.

At a locals joint, you're probably putting in less than four hours, so your ADT is less than $50. Suffice to say, with the limited info you provided, you're really not worth much.

Can you have an ADT that low in Kansas City with 40,000 Tier points? Going every day?
