Greetings to all!
Many casinos use loyalty systems, such as accumulating bonus points while playing, cashback, and lotteries.

What other interesting loyalty systems do you know for gamblers?

Before bonus point systems became popular the Golden Nugget slot Machines dispensed tickets like the like you would find today at "Chuckie Cheese" or other kids entertainment venues in which you could buy prizes with. Really not much different than todays systems except you got actual tickets.

In the 1990's there was as Australian system being tested at a few bars in Las Vegas where food was also awarded at the slot machines. The card reader would beep and say "Congratulations you have been awarded a free pizza, steak, or other items". That was the first player tracking machines that I ever saw in Las Vegas bars. It was so novel at the time that I flew to Sydney a few times to negotiate licensing it for the U.S. market.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

I’m pretty sure everi has a kiosk that can do that BUT they also can be implemented at the slot machine as well

I always talk about ducks … this is what I am talking about when I cryptically talk about ducks

In their manual it claims you can adjust the amount of ducks required to win a prize if the required amount of money has not been made for the promotion…

Swear I asked you about this at one point and you said regulations for slot machines didn’t apply to the promotion kiosk … but I never told you that the slot machines could be attached to the same kiosks promotion database.

Ok, what do casinos offer personally to large gamblers in VIP and high stack rooms?

I have seen such a proposal to add to the stack. For example, buy chips for 50k, and casino give you 55k, but if you win -5k is counted back

Anything you want legally as long as your losses are more then whatever you want
Its just a forum. Nothing here to get obsessed about.

Yes, the regulations for games on the kiosk do not have to adhere to slot guidelines because they are promotions and don't take money.

OK. But still, can someone share information about what methods are used in Las Vegas? They are interested in motivating promotions that encourage gamblers come to the casino, or that stimulate the duration of the game, especially in VIP rooms.

If this was discussed on the forum, or there is an article on the Internet, please provide a link

I'm really interested in this, thank you!

I think the best promotion that has been running for many years in Vegas is just Free-Play. People hate to waste free money and will come in to your casino for a chance to get a "Free win". The beauty is most people will lose it and then they start putting their own money in.

For online casinos, freeplay from points is only a tiny sliver of the promotional spend. Depending on whether you are a high roller or a low roller, converting points to free play or free bets might be only 1% to 5% of the promotional free play available. Deposit match bonuses are the most common valuable promotion, but some properties have play to earn promotions with very high caps on earned freeplay.
This forum is more enjoyable after I learned how to use the 'Block this user' button.

Thanks!
But this is still more for massive small bet gamblers.

Don't they really offer some kind of exclusive offers for VIP players in Las Vegas?

It is all relative. I had a few players I was giving $8000 a month in free play. It was usually $2000 a week to get them in. To me, those were big players. Most of those players were gambling close to $100k a week on the machines.
