Here is a new one to me. A friend of mine and I pooled our money together to double our chances of winning. We both used our respective COMP cards while we played. The amount we played over about 8 hours of playing was approximately the same.

I went for a meal comp and got $20 to use at the cafeteria. My friend did not qualify for a meal comp.

The next day, we did the same thing (as we were quite successful the first day).

This time, I was able to get a $30 meal comp, my friend did not have anything. Finally ... we started to push and asked what was going on. They said my friend was "over comp'd" in March 2008. How is this possible? I thought that if you have not earned a comp, they do not give it to you -- end of story.

Has anyone heard of this practice before? After playing all day on the slots, should the casino at least cover a meal?
