Questions about Casino Rating Systems (MGM Players Club)?

Comping people isn't really an exact science. The pit bosses just kind of keep an eye on you to check your bets, and try to note when you leave the table to judge how long you play. Chances are, you just got rated higher than your friends. Maybe you happened to have larger bets out when the pit boss looked over, or for some reason he just payed more attention to you. Also, the wife's play may not have affected the couple's rating. It should not bring the average down like you suggested, but if she doesn't have a $25 average bet, they may not have rated her at all.

I don't think booking their rooms through Orbitz made a difference, but tell them next time to call the hotel directly and mention their play to see if they can get a room comped. If they don't get it comped, they should say they want a $10,000 credit line. That will usually do it, lol. (You don't have to play that much, just make them think you will)

Good luck and have fun on your next trip.

I am not certain how MGM rates, but when we went to Atlantis, my husband never had a chip less than $100. We were on a linked account too. I played much less, but I thought every $5 helps, right? WRONG!!! His average bet when we checked out was $85, even though he NEVER played anything less than $100, so I would bet that's what happened. Averages are averages. He'd have been better off if she never used the card. Live & learn.

Comping people is a very difficult thing to do but it's expected to be done as accurately as possible there is a lot of soft ware around to do just that and it takes in everything from theoretical lose to skill level and how aggressively you play. Vegas Matt should know that is expected to be very accurate and is actually almost a science.
