I see lots of people who still do not use a players card. Whether it is the WAMPUN REWARDS at Foxwoods Casino (Conneticut) to the Winner's Circle program run by the racetrack slots in Ontario, Canada ... the Players Card allows you to earn some comps. In many jurisdictions, you can get meal comps, prizes, free or valet parking or Cash Back. While it does take a fair amount of play to get anything substantial, the casino is offering it ... and you should take it. The performance of the machine is in **NO WAY** linked to your card. So ... all of you superstitious people are losing out on the only thing you might get from the casino when your winning is done.

There are also special promotions you might get -- such as free rooms, free dinner offers. The Fallsview casino has been offering free tickets to big name shows in order to attact patrons to the casino. It's a great deal (particularly if you have a winning session at the casino).

Fallsview also sends promotions for extra cash back, and special incentives on your birthday.
