    But to answer your question, I made a $200 bet at Linq and I think I got 3 drink tix, I just gave them away to some chicks because I dont chick when I'm on my sportbook grind. Also if you tip the cashier $1-3 when you make your bet, you may get an extra drink ticket. :) ...and yes the bet won also haha

    I want to bet nfl and college football total wins for the season. I’d say $400 worth of $50 bets. Which casinos offer drink tickets for end of season totals? On strip.

    Its not the bet you are making, only the amount. So CP, for example, would likely give you one or two tickets for that amount of wagers

    Bet $51 or $49. Those $50 bets are doomed.

    I was just about to say that. What the fuck? I'll make $20 bets now and then, and usually on the WORST odds (only because big return). 99% of the time, they'll keep my $20. At least give me a domestic beer.

    Times have definitely changed. Back in 2014 my friends were in town during the NBA playoffs and watching the Blazers vs. Rockets series at Caesar’s sports book betting only $20 or $30 and getting 4 or 5 drink tickets at a time. Granted we were there for a bachelor party but they were super generous in handing them out.

    I just spent 7 nights at Gold Coast and got 1 drink ticket after dropping $20 in bets multiple times and with the same teller. The drink lady came around and offered me a drink and asked if I was offered a drink ticket seeing the pile of tickets in front of me I said no and she returned with 3 tickets. She apologized then explained to me that they have an issue with people using the sports book to hang out not betting anything but expect free drinks.

    Times certainly change.

    10+ years ago I'd spend my mornings sitting in the sports book reading a book (well before the games/horses were on). Nice comfortable chairs, relatively quiet but with casino ambiance in the distance. Anyway, multiple times at both Harrah's and Mirage I had CWs ask if I wanted a drink. I must have been on the CW's path and it was a slow time of day, so they were just looking for tips (fine by me).

    This is the expected return on the wagering itself, before accounting for staff wages, computers, building mortgage, depreciation, corporate income tax, etc. let alone any free drinks.
