There are several different kinds of incentives that casinos use to get your patronage, your business-- and your money. One of the ways is to offer you a "rebate" on your gambling. It can be in the form of "cash back" or "bounce back" money.

Cash back means you get a percentage of your bets (usually bets on slot machines or video poker) at the end of your visit-- or even during your visit.

Bounce back means that the percentage is sent to you for redemption later. You might get a bounce back check in the mail once a month which can only be "cashed" or redeemed when you visit the casino again.

It's probably a given that most players prefer cash back over bounce back. But how important are either -- cash back or bounce back -- to you? Or, would you prefer some other incentive or form of marketing deal to get your business?

For example, would you rather get free food, free hotel room, free airfare? Would you rather have these other incentives because you don't gamble that much?
