My spies are still out there

Written by Pai Yao

This article first appeared in the Jul/Aug 2010 issue of World Gaming magazine.

In the last issue of World Gaming I told you about our project comparing the top casinos in Macau. I’ve sent my spies out to City of Dreams, Grand Lisboa, MGM, Sands, StarWorld, Venetian and Wynn to play the exact same games for the exact same times at each property. Who knows, next time you play at the tables you could be playing right next to one of the World Gaming team.

Once we have all the results in we’ll calculate the value of the comps and be able to definitively tell you which is the best casino to play at in Macau as far as comps go.

For those of you that don’t know what comps are, they are free things that the casinos will give you just for playing! Hotel rooms, ferry tickets, airfares, shopping sprees – you name it. All of these can be got using comps.

So stay tuned – once my spies come back with the results, we’ll be reporting them to you in the following issue of World Gaming.
