Cash is King, Credit is Costly
Casino credit: a no-cost alternative
Casino credit is a smarter alternative. It combines the high limit of a credit card with the convenience of an ATM. It's also one more step down that enticing road to a casino relationship. Here's how it works.
You apply for casino credit as you would for credit at a department store or a bank. The casino will check your regular credit history and will also review your gambling history through a company that specializes in gambling credit information.
If you already have a big line at another casino, that may help or hurt. It depends on your income. With good credit and money in the bank you'll get at least $1,000 and often more on a casino line. The process takes a few hours, sometimes a few days, so you might want to send an application before your next visit. When the credit has been approved, and you've signed the appropriate forms, then you're ready to go.
Just sit down at a table (or machine) and ask for a "marker. "A floor person will give you a piece of paper that will look very much like the document Robert Redford signed in Indecent Proposal. The only difference is that it probably won't be for one million dollars. How to use a marker
A marker is basically a check written on your bank account. Sign it and a floor person will bring you chips. The casino will hold the marker until the end of your visit, and usually for a few days after that. You can buy the marker back with cash, chips, or a regular check.
