When you go to a casino, you enter a world filled with new terminology which you don't necessarily hear or use in the "real world."
There are casino terms like comps and free-play, hand-pay, shoe, carnival games, RFB, floorman, pit boss and such.
Well, I just found out about a new casino term in a letter I got from Caesars about the upcoming Great Gift Wrap Up. The term used in the letter was: decrement.
When was the last time you used the word decrement? You really can learn things in a casino and the word decrement is one of them.
According to Webster.com decrement means "a gradual decrease in quality or quantity."
In the letter from Caesars, decrement was used this way:
Great Gift Wrap Up points are different from Reward Credits and will not decrement Reward Credits earned.
In other words, you GGWU points are separate from your Reward Credits and using the GGWU points won't affect your Reward Credits balance.
Now, my sentence might be longer that Caesars' sentence but at least I avoided having to use the word decrement and having everyone run to the dictionary to find out what decrement means.
Well, there is a positive here. From now on no one can say you can't learn something useful in a casino. I now know what decrement means.
