My Love-Hate Relationship with Player Club Cards

I have a Love-Hate relationship with my Players Club Cards . My collection of Player's Club cards is impressive---I have one from every casino I've visited. The colorful cards are snugly tucked away in my dresser drawer.

The Hate: There's something comforting about being anonymous at the casino. After all, gambling should be a personal, private experience, shouldn't it? I don't know that I want the casino knowing and recording every slot I play, every bet I make, every dollar I put in a machine and every ticket I cash out.

The Love: Free food---like the scrumptious Buffet at Valley View Casino, Free or Discounted Rooms at Harrah's Rincon & Pala (Pechanga and Barona are a bit more stingy with room discounts).

The Question: Is privacy worth more than a Free Buffet or Hotel Room? Well, since I'm a moderate budget gambler and don't play regular slots very often (there is where you get most of your card points), I've figured out a way to get both privacy and the buffet!
  • I always take my Player's Club Card to the casino
  • I use my card for a small period of time while I'm playing machines so the casino will know I was there and I'll still get discounts, free buffet and room offers.
  • I always give or use my card while playing Casino Table Games because there is no privacy anyway.
