How
can the boxman help you win money
(and comps).
The boxman (person) is your key to your
relationship with a selected casino. A good boxperson, doing his job, will spot
serious players and offer a player card so that the casino can track your gaming
action. This will provide you the benefit of receiving full comps for
all the time and for the investment that you make into the game with your bank.
The boxperson will coordinate the data entry of your initial and ongoing investments into the
game and will also track your average wager. This will have a dramatic effect on the
courtesies that will be provided to you by your casino of choice. In situations
where a spouse might be playing or obvious partner players
a good boxperson will
gang your action into one player card so that you can receive maximum casino
comps in a shorter period of time.
This can have a dramatic effect on
players who have a short schedule during a specific trip or session. The boxperson can also help you win by seeing to it that the dealers provide you appropriate
service and information about the game. Naturally this will depend on the specific
boxperson and the limitations of specific casino policies on disclosing information about
the game.
By tracking your action you also can receive certain advantages when it
comes tax time, especially if you score a major win at some time because gambling winnings
can be written off against losses provided that you have the proper documentation to show
to the IRS.
If you are a serious player you need to be very selective about your
casino of choice and you need to develop rapport with the boxpeople and floorpeople
in order to receive the full benefit of your gaming action and investment. |
