One of the most enjoyable aspects of gambling, in particular at land-based casinos, is the generous comp offers. These can take many forms, with the most common being free drinks and free meals. For bigger spenders, there's the possibility of receiving free limo rides, free hotel rooms and much more. But there's always the question of which games give the players more in comps. If you enjoy casino games like slots or video poker, then will you get more generous slots or video poker comps?

Though many gamblers will claim that the generous casino comps given out by land-based casinos are not really free, that misses the point of them. Yes, it could be argued that they are paid for out of your losses. But on the other hand, why not enjoy getting something back? When playing online, all your bankroll is gone eventually. But at least with the brick-and-mortar casino, you can receive some great gifts. We all know they are given to keep you happy and gambling, but that's no bad thing.

Every new casino player is going to be enticed by all those yummy casino freebies and comps. And they're going to wonder just how much they need to spend in order to receive them. There's no fixed answer, and certainly not one that the casinos make public knowledge. On the whole, the drinks are free doe all players. Up from that, the sky's the limit, depending on how much you're spending. Or, more importantly, how much you're losing. That's because all these comps are paid for by your losses.

Many gamblers have a real fear that if they go for an extended gambling trip to Las Vegas or Atlantic City, they will return home broke. But this is nothing more than irrational thinking. All gambling activities are about bankroll management. Unlike a short trip, there's no need to try everything in a rush. Learn to pace yourself and set a fixed budget for your gambling spending for each day. Also, do other things rather than spending all your time at the casino. Enjoy being a tourist as well.
