Effective August 1st we extended the tier earning period for locals to match non-locals at a full 12 months. We have discontinued one element of True Rewards, Dividends and replaced another, Mystery Point Multipliers, with more frequent multipliers in our promotional calendar.
What do I need to do to take advantage of the longer tier earning period for locals?
Absolutely nothing! Due to the lapse in earning period during the pandemic closure, we had awarded you your HIGHEST achieved tier since the rollout of True Rewards and you will maintain that tier throughout the remainder of the year unless of course you earn a higher tier. Beginning in January 2021, locals will automatically have a FULL YEAR to earn tier status.
Why did you decide to discontinue Dividends and Mystery Point Multipliers?
In terms of Mystery Point Multipliers, we decided to replace the program in part due to negative feedback received from our guests. In terms of both programs, we feel it is time for a change to give us more flexibility with our promotions and create more exciting daily and weekly promotions for you to take advantage of with True Rewards. While we recognize that some changes to True Rewards will not be received positively from all of our members, we are confident you will be happy with the many new things we have planned to our property promotional calendars!
When will I be able to redeem my Dividends this year?
For locals, Dividends earned between January-June this year will be evaluated on July 1st and available for redemption in equal amounts per month from July-December. Dividends earned in July this year will be evaluated on August 1st and available for redemption in August. For non-locals, Dividends earned between January-July this year will be evaluated on August 1st and available for redemption from August-December.
Did any other True Rewards benefits change like point earning rates, point earning for table games or point earning for retail (non-gaming) purchases?
Absolutely not! Our earn and redemption rates have remained unchanged, you can still earn points for all gaming and select non-gaming purchases as well as redeem earned points at over 140 locations!
I already have an ace/PLAY, Golden Rewards, Beer & Bites, Checkout Rewards, Gold Mine or Rocky Gap rewards card. Do I need to become a True Rewards member?
Yes. At the time your favorite location goes live with True Rewards, your current card will no longer work. You will receive correspondence as your location goes live. To become a True Rewards member, visit any Golden Entertainment location to make the switch as soon as your preferred destination goes live with True Rewards. Find a location

Casino comps have become almost mythical. So many gambling experts write about casino comps that players grumble the casinos are giving out fewer comps than before.
That is most likely true; as more people flock to casinos, the properties don’t need to create expensive incentive programs.
My dad remembers when a Las Vegas casino offered free hotel rooms for anyone who would visit Vegas in the 1980s. He doesn’t remember which casino that was, but my guess is that it was Steve Wynn’s The Mirage. At the time, it was the most expensive casino in Vegas.
The Mirage was built on a seven-year financing deal, and it paid off the loans in less than two years. People were stunned. Corporate gaming had finally arrived as a big business.
Casinos make their money on the games. They only build hotels so that players have someplace to sleep and clean up in-between gambling sessions. They only build restaurants so that hungry players get back to gaming as soon as possible.
It makes sense that players should be awarded discounts on as many non-gambling activities as possible. That creates a more valuable experience for the visitors and their families.
Comps exist, and they will never go away. But you’re not likely to be handed a free hotel room in the near future. The casinos reserve the biggest freebies for whales.
So how can everyone else get more free stuff if the casinos are cutting back?
Here are the latest ways to improve your earn rate on comps.
1 – Take Advantage of Players Club Special Offers
The basic comp program for every land-based casino is their member rewards program. The player cards are a 2-edged sword. They not only award us points for playing time, but they track our activities.
Casinos plan their gaming and future rewards around our activities. One year my wife and I counted no less than six casino member rewards cards for each of us. We were playing that often at the casinos.
That was when I began to look at reward programs differently. I asked myself why it took so long for us to earn anything more than a sandwich.
The answer was right in front of us.
We were dividing our time between too many casinos. And, honestly, a couple of those rewards cards were for out-of-state casinos. We just signed up automatically.
The casinos win by not having to pay you any comps at all. That’s not a reason to not join a member’s program. It’s a reason to play at fewer casinos.
To get to the better rewards, players must spend their time at as few casinos as possible. Variety is not only the spice of life. In towns where three or more casinos compete directly against each other, the casinos are paying off fewer rewards per capita.
When deciding which will be your favorite casino, weigh the differences in rewards programs along with other factors like game choices, parking, distance, and prices for their amenities.
Reward programs may differentiate between “status credits” and “rewards points.” Players need to earn status credits to advance to higher tiers. They redeem rewards points for discounts or freebies.
2 – Visit Casinos When They Offer Great Promotional Discounts
Here’s a simple example:
In August 2019, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas offered two complimentary breakfast buffets at the Bacchanal. At the same time, they ran a semi-annual sale, discounting hotel rooms by 25%.
Looking beyond the semi-annual sale, their benefits program page has a chart laying out what the four status levels give you. Just scanning reviews on TripAdvisor, I found people raving about the discounts and freebies they got for having achieved Diamond Status.
3 – Ask Friends to Transfer Credits They Won’t Use
Some rewards programs, like Caesar’s Rewards, allow players to gift credits to other program members. The rules may vary, but people who only visit casinos on rare occasions may have friends who visit more often.
It doesn’t hurt to ask someone you know well to transfer their rewards points to your account.
By the same token, parents can gift their children rewards points. A single donation can bump a player up from Gold tier status to Silver-tier status. Silver-tier program members get a 15% discount at Caesar’s shops.
Study the rewards program rules carefully. Understand what you’re asking for before you do anything. The last thing anyone wants to do is inadvertently violate the rules.
The casino’s rewards program staff will explain what is allowed and what is not. If transfers are available, they should be mentioned in the rules.
4 – Limit Play to High Reward Games
This should be obvious to anyone who understands how rewards points are scored. The more money you wager, the more points you earn.
In most casinos, the earn rate for points is the same across a majority of games. I’ve noticed that table games may set special limits. Players earn points at a lower rate on certain types of wagers.
The other side of that coin is to watch your gambling budget. Playing games with a lower house edge like blackjack and baccarat helps you accumulate more points because your money lasts longer.
Players who only want to play slots should find machines with the highest theoretical return to player.
Video poker and video blackjack games may offer multiple points for multi-hand games.
Check the rules on display before assuming that is the case.
It may also pay to do some basic math. One gambler realized that the Seminole Hard Rock casinos in Florida were awarding points at different rates on different slot machines. That’s an interesting story but not very useful if only a few casinos are doing this.
Without taking away from the fun experience, choosing the game that takes the least money or awards the most points and credits is an easy way to earn more comps.
If you’re not sure which games award better points, assume they are equal and play the games that have the best RTP.
5- Make Larger or Riskier Wagers
Players who only bet the minimum may be cheating themselves out of rewards points and credits.
While it makes sense to be conservative when playing with a small bankroll, raising the bet after a nice win is a way to increase the comps earn rate.
Some games may award points at a higher rate for larger bets. As always, check the rules before assuming that is so.
And when feeling lucky players can try wagering on high house edge games. The points may be awarded on the basis of the house edge. That was probably how the Seminole Hard Rock casinos in Florida adjusted their rewards points per game.
Some players feel that busy table games may cheat them of points. The pit boss may not always enter the right numbers into the system for players with cards. Shangri la legend. In a busy casino, the slot games you can play and video card games are more reliable.
By trading a little bit of player advantage for a high house edge, the comps come in faster. And a player needs a little variety to keep the experience fun and exciting.
6- Gambling Is Not Always Required
When traveling for business, staying at a casino hotel may earn points and status credits. If it fits the business budget, players can rack up points for use at a later time by staying at their favorite casinos.
Local residents often eat at the restaurants inside the casinos. Anyone who lives and works in Vegas can earn points throughout the year by signing up for a rewards program and eating lunch at the buffet or sandwich shop.
Resisting the urge to play a game or two on lunch break takes a little discipline. But the reward becomes sweeter as the unused points grow larger.
Conclusion
One tip circulating on the Internet is to trick pit bosses into recording higher average bets than you normally play. Say you sit down at a blackjack table. The minimum is $25, so you bet $100 until the pit boss enters your average bet into the system. Then you drop to the minimum.
Earn Vegas Rewards App Subscription
This is a cheap, cheesy way to earn points. And there are other tricks, too.
I don’t endorse any attempt to game the rewards system. Maybe some casinos let it slide, but there is no reason to be greedy with comps. They are still freely offered and available everywhere.
Comps are a natural competitive business practice. The comps may evolve over time, but players should look forward to enhancing their gaming experiences with as many discounts and free offers as possible.
