The statistical advantage that the casino has in each game, and each bet, is called the house edge. This theoretical advantage the casino holds over the player on any single bet is what makes the game gambling, for the outcome is unknown, and regardless of who holds the edge, either party may win at any one time. Player's club members that have played within a certain time period, usually in the last 12 months. Actual Win The monetary amount the casino actually wins from a player. There can be a large discrepancy from theoretical win (Twin) if someone hits a jackpot or if there is a savvy table games player. Also known as 'casino win.' ADT (AVERAGE DAILY THEORETICAL) is the average amount that a casino wins from a player per day for a certain gambling activity. This is based on the amount bet by the player and the theoretical hold percentage of the games they play. ADW (AVERAGE DAILY WORTH) is similar to ADT with an additional, specialized calculation. The Casino THEO and Average Daily Theoretical – ADT Your theoretical loss to the casino (your casino theo or average daily theoretical – ADT) is the way the casino calculates what you are worth to them.
My wife had a simple question, but it has a very complex answer.Casino Player Adt App
Her question: If you're a slot player and you sit at a poker table, does that lower your ranking?My responds was that it's very complex and not easily answered.
We all know slot players are treated better than table games players, and poker players are at the bottom of the barrel. But what about a player who plays multiple types?
I brake it down like this:
Take a player who typically plays 25¢ slots for 8 hours vs a player who plays $1 slots for 2 hours. Are they ranked the same?
If time on the machine is more important, the 25¢ player ranks higher.
If the denomination is more important, the $1 player ranks higher.
If coin-in more important, they rank the same.
Now say the 25¢, 8 hour slots player switches to being a $1, 2 hour player, and spends those other 6 hours at poker. Does this help or hurt the rating?
Because of the above three scenarios, the rating may go up or down based upon the slot change.
But does the 6 hours still in the casino, NOT playing slots, further worsen the rating? Or does it help because that adds to the total action?
Would your response change if those 6 hours were spent at a table game rather than poker?

If time on the machine is more important, the 25¢ player ranks higher.
If the denomination is more important, the $1 player ranks higher.
I'm not sure what they DO do, but what they should do is rank the $1 player higher. Since there is a fixed cost to having a machine, free drinks, security, etc.. You need less of those things for 1 player versus 4 players.

It's all about your Average Daily Theoretical loss (ADT). The reason slot players get rated better is because they often have a higher house edge resulting in a higher ADT. If you play $20 on slots per day, and I play $2k on table games per day, I'll get rated better than you even though you're a slot player because my action and ADT will be higher than you even though you're playing the worse games.
However, two people playing at the same 'level' of money, the slot player will always have a higher ADT because the slots have a higher house edge resulting in a higher expected loss (and thus higher ADT).
So to answer your question: No, you won't tarnish your rating by playing multiple games. If you're going to play 3 hours of slots no matter what, then playing 1 hour of table games only ADDS to your ADT. Now if you were going to play slots for 3 hours then you play 1.5 hours slots and 1.5 hours tables, that will result in a lower ADT because the expected loss will be less on the table games.

Unless poker added a day.. I don't think it would affect things in a negative way. It probably won't affect mailers, but I'm confident it would show on backend comps (the theo loss from poker).I'm going to disagree with SOOPOO. I believe, in this specific situation, a casino should value the quarter player more because variance is lower. What he says is absolutely right, but the cost to house a patron isn't that much, right?

I think trying to surmise anything other than ADT in comp calculations is just a guessing game.
A player spending 1hr/slots and 1hr/table in a given day will have a higher ADT than someone who only played 1hr/slots (assuming identical slot play).

My guess is that if there is any difference the 25-cent player will be given a little more in comps due to the lower denomination typically having a higher hold. It will be rather small.Quote: DJTeddyBear

Slots / tables / sportsbook / poker room are generally kept separate and don't have too much effect on each other. If you bet big enough at more than one of those, it's best to use a host. In the case above, the slot play will be treated roughly the same, and the poker room will give them the standard rate (probably $1 - $2 per hour plus an occasional discretionary comp or mailing).

Actual live poker play? Not so-called video-'poker' on a machine, or some pit carnival game with the word 'poker' in the name? Among those casino companies with a presence in the Las Vegas area, the only casinos I'm aware of that would be affected at all in any way whatsoever are Station Casinos using the 'Boarding Pass' player card to log-in, and Caesars Entertainment properties in the 'Total Rewards' system. 
At the others making up the majority of poker rooms with the overwhelming bulk of poker games, including the MGM-Mirage properties, Wynn, Venetian, all of Boyd's properties, and on and on, the casino player reward & rating system is completely oblivious to anyone logging-in for their buck an hour comps at the poker room. For example when I'm playing poker at someplace like Mirage it is as if I'm not even there and I don't exist as far as the M-Life system or the rest of the casino is concerned, even though I am logged-in and do accumulate some comps (known only to the poker room) which can be spent for meals. The poker room's tracking doesn't communicate with the rest of the outfit at all. Same is true of what you may do in the book, and the same two companies are the exceptions to that.
If you are at a Caesars or Station property where poker play IS integrated into their system to be counted in their overall property & company player tracking, a rough simplified estimate of what that's counted as being worth to them is about ten bucks per player per hour paid in house rake at a cash game poker table. So if you play four hours of either 1/2NL or 3/6L poker at Bally's that has about the same effect as playing the 'coin-in' required on-average for dusting off forty bucks in a Lobstermania slot machine, regardless of actual result. But if you want to know about that more specifically & precisely, the rate of Tier Credits (Caesars) or Status Credits (Station) is listed on their site. In the case of Caesars Total Rewards, they do vary the TC rate quite a bit by the stakes of cash poker games, even though the actual average house drop per player per hour doesn't really change that way (and they rarely get any higher stakes games running in their rooms, at least in Las Vegas).

Yeah, I knew it was gonna be a complex answer. But I keep forgetting that the ADT is so important. That makes it easier to explain.

Yes, as described above in my earlier post it's all about ADT. Assuming they have a generic rate for all slots and it's not determined based on the 'actual' slot you're sitting at, then the math will work out exactly the same.HOWEVER, two things to note:
1) If one player is faster than another they'll put more action through and have a higher ADT. So assuming the same playing speed then yes, still the same.
2) If you're using a host, they often like to see the longer hours put in. So in their decisions to personally comp you something your ADT could be the same but they might comp the longer hours of play something at their discretion as opposed to the shorter hours of play.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

I also am aware of a particular table game whose adt is higher then most slots in the high limit room.

Most poker does not create any theo

Casino marketing promotions can be a tricky area. You don't want to appear to be promoting excessive gambling, but you do want to bring in new players. You need to engage players and ensure your customer experience is as positive as possible. You want to do this without spending a large amount of money on extra specialized staff or more time on individual messaging and development. Marketing automation provides a solution for effective and efficient casino marketing. By implementing marketing automation into your casino promotion ideas, you open the door to powerful and instant communication with all your regulars. Here are a few casino marketing ideas to take advantage of marketing automation for casinos.
- A loyalty program allows you to reward customers who come back to your casino. It also keeps your regular players coming in for the chance at high-level prizes and the ability to redeem loyalty points for lower level prizes. Even if customers are only coming in for drinks or to view an event, the loyalty program could be a draw for food and drink or other prizes instead of games.
- By holding contests, you can engage serious players with the chance to play in a VIP event where they can compete with even higher stakes. This will draw serious players, particularly in cards. While many games are casual and depend on luck, card games like poker are regarded as a sport. Any casino can take advantage of that hype by holding their own local events.
- Know your customer. By orienting your events and games toward your customers and not your industry, you can react much faster to the use of new innovations and the internet for casino marketing. The best way to do this is to have web tracking capabilities and some form of contact management. These allow you to gather details about who your customer is, what they do, and where they come from in order to best understand what they want and need.
These are some pretty basic casino promotion ideas and they can be done without automation, right? But if you do automate them, you can use email, SMS, and forms to gather information easily. This information is automatically tied into the customer tracking software and the contact manager. This way, you can have a contest, an event, and a loyalty program that are all at least partly automated. Automating the process enables you to set up casino events and inform people about them cheaply and easier than before. What happens to all the money and time saved? Online games 88. They can be invested back into other areas of your business.
