Most casinos will offer free drinks as an incentive, but don’t be fooled by this convenience. It’s just how they keep you in the casino longer, where you will potentially spend more money. While it may seem like a good deal at first, they will eventually cash out on their investment because the more you drink the more you play—and then the more recklessly you bet. Unfortunately, this doesn’t extend to playing the pokies online, this is only good for land-based casinos.

 

 

On one hand, if what you lose is what you were willing to spend the money on booze anyway, then it’s not a terrible loss. The cost of tipping the waitress and anteing up at your table might even out to the overall cost of the drinks, especially if you know what to order and always request the highest quality spirits. Good tipping shows that you care, since your waitress pays taxes on the free drinks as well as the priced ones, so affording her some gratuity will ensure that you stay on her good side. This is extremely important, as it ensures prompt and friendly service, and this leads to a more pleasurable experience for you, which is the whole point anyway.

Now, if you’re trying to be frugal and capitalize on as many free drinks as possible, it is recommended that you find your way to a high stakes table game. Cocktail servers know that the high-rollers have money is, so to make the most this, they will spend a majority of their time here. If you can devise a strategy with a minimal risk in of chips and spread it out over a long enough period of time, you can end up having a pretty good night at a reasonable price.
