When you walk into a casino, by definition you are gambling.
However, when you get relevant benefits along with that gambling, you then try to maximise the return.
Royal knows only too well that if a player goes into the casino for the first time, and gambles and gets 3,000 points, in essence they are not only getting a free certificate cruise, but also getting to be a Prime status member and therefore getting another cruise at the end of April, and then additionally getting free drinks in the casino when the casino is open, all in one go.
The Player program is diverse, there are lots of things that are not listed, not mentioned in the "rules", but that doesn't mean that they do not exist. Over the years I have learnt the benefits, the rules, and then the unwritten benefits and rules, mostly by trial and error.
Do not misunderstand me. In the end, if you stay in the casino and gamble constantly, you WILL LOSE....... the odds are always with the house, however for example, Roulette is a little ball spinning around a wheel, nobody knows where the ball will land....... but...... If you sat and watched the table, and the ball always landed on one side of the wheel, the odds are that eventually, in theory, it will start to end up on the opposite side of the wheel. There is no guarantee, but there would be a higher chance of it happening.
Gambling ultimately is Gambling, and should not be taken lightly if you are an addictive type person, as Gambling would ruin someones life, no different to Drugs, but you can definitely minimise the odds closer to your favour, and at the same time maximise on the benefits of a Program.
No different to BA's Avios, or Tesco's clubcard
Maybe you should come along to the cruise and watch.!! LOL
