And once you have beaten the casino(s) at their machines, you have no care or concern if you'll ever grab onto any of the free stuff from slot club membership. I don't care one bit about cruises since we've been on quite a few with our children over our earlier years. Gifts? They're a waste of my time, since I can buy anything I want or need from my winnings. Free play/bounce back cash etc.? As a pro I knew I would always return. These days I'd NEVER return to any casino for that stuff because it's their chance to get the money back, and it's exactly what they want and expect every player to do.
If all players were to wise up and not let their addictive craving for more action take over their lives, the casinos would close their doors. It is that simple.
