Jacks,
you pull your card, and that potential payoff
of a four-of-a-kind won't be recorded. Depending
upon the computer system used, this could reduce
your recorded wins, making you look less of a
winner, which gets you better goodies.
Does it work in some cases? Yes! Is it deceptive
play? Yes! Are eye-in-the-sky cameras watching
you when you do it? Yes! Can you lose all comp
points and privileges if they catch you? Yes!
Case in point. I recently sat next to a player
who was caught doing this; they confiscated his
card, and they told him to skedaddle.
Oh, and one more thing, Nate. Let's not forget
that some casinos award comp points on coins going
out (wins) rather than coins played (action).
