That is how it still is. Bingo rooms do struggle to show a profit, after expenses. As you wrote, it is to have a captive audience between sessions, hopefully playing slots. If I were a low-level advantage player I would be focuses on bingo, as there are sometimes advantages to be found. My number one piece of advice -- play when the Cashball Jackpot is LOW and don't validate. The big jackpots induce too much competition. Remember, in bingo the casino isn't the enemy, it is the OTHER players.

I remember once a thread broke out of vpFREE where someone was asking questions about using their Stations comp dollars to play bingo. I thought "OMG, I blew it!" I didn't know you could use Stations comp dollars to play bingo. I was long gone out of Vegas at the time, working northern Nevada but I had plenty of past experience playing bingo. I started asking questions in the thread myself and even predicted that big bankrolled AP's were using comp dollars to play bingo in the Stations casinos.

The trick was to use the TED unit (I think that was what it was called). It was an electronic device that you could put multiple packs in. The unit did all the work for you. You just had to sit there and say bingo when you hit one. So you could play with fifty or sixty cards, no problem. When you play with that many cards you are going to hit bingos, even against large crowds.

Finally, Bob Dancer jumped in the thread and explained how Stations had put a cap on the number of cards per session one could buy with comp dollars. My guess about AP's playing bingo was spot on. Bob sure knew one hell of a lot about Stations bingo. I laughed my ass off. The great Mr. Bob Dancer playing bingo? You bet he was.

One thing I failed to post here was while Bob posted all the ins and outs of using comp dollars for bingo at the Stations casinos, he didn't explain why Stations put a cap on the number of packs per session one could buy with comp dollars. This was in the day when Stations still had lots of high denom full pay machines. It was a no brainer of a guess for me. Guys like Bob ran heavy action and had loads of comp dollars. They would hit the slower bingo sessions, usually early morning or late night, and load up a TED unit with as many bingo packs as it would hold. You are guaranteed to hit bingos playing like that.

In short, Bob, and maybe others, were converting comp dollars into cashback.

This is still going on today ( I'm not talking Stations). You can often get a better deal if you buy bingo. Time becomes a factor.


Before stations went to cash back @ least one AP had around one million in comp dollars. Hoping they would convert current points to cash when they changed to cash( a few places did this). Obviously they didn't allow them guys to pick up full value. It created a lot of problems, I don't know exactly what happened. I think most was earned on $5 Royal Court. They also had 4 oak bonuses and other things on top of that. The % was not huge.
