In the context of casinos, comps are complimentary items and services given out by casinos to encourage players to gamble.〔(Customers Happy in Casinos. ABCNews. Nov. 1, 2007. )〕 The amount of comps that a player is given usually depends on what game they play, how much they bet, and how long they play. Most casinos have casino hosts who are responsible for giving out free items and contacting players to bring them back to the casino. Pit bosses can also award comps at table games. Most casinos now require a player to have a player's club or similar card, so that their play can be tracked and comps awarded.〔 Most casinos give away promotional merchandise or "swag" just for standing in line. ==Comp levels== The lowest level of comp available at most casinos is free alcohol and other beverages. Many casinos provide free drinks to anyone who is gambling.〔 The second level of comp that many players earn is free meals. Many casinos have several restaurants and may require more play to earn a comp to the higher-end restaurant. Often the player is given a certain amount to spend, but sometimes, particularly with high rollers, the player may be given the right to order as much food as they want. The next level of comps is usually free hotel rooms. Many casinos have attached hotels, but those that don't may have the ability to comp rooms to a hotel nearby. Many casino hotels have higher quality rooms, such as suites, villas, presidential suites and so on for bigger bettors. Many players who receive hotel rooms receive a package called "RFB" for "room, food, and beverage" or "RF" for smaller bettors, or jurisdictions where casinos are not allowed to give free alcohol. Many casinos also offer other comps, especially to high rollers. These may include airfare reimbursement, limo rides, tickets to shows, golf, free concierge services, cash back, money to show up in the casino, loss rebates, private gaming areas, and private jet service. Casinos also frequently offer players comps by mail. These may be free bet offers, free meals, discounted or free rooms, or entries into tournaments or prize drawings.〔(Comps - The Basics. 17 June 2003.
