Player rating systems track gaming activity for comps, marketing, and game
protection purposes. Dealers play a crucial role in accurate data collection.

**Rating System Basics:**

*Purpose:* Casinos track player activity to provide complimentary services (rooms,
meals, entertainment), identify valuable customers, and monitor for advantage
play or other concerns.

*Theoretical Win:* Rating systems estimate casino profit based on average bet size,
game played, house edge, and time played. This drives comp eligibility.

*Actual Win/Loss:* Some systems track actual results alongside theoretical calculations.

**Dealer Responsibilities:**

*Card In/Out:* Ensure players insert their player's cards when sitting down and
remove them when leaving. Cards must remain visible in card readers.

*Average Bet Entry:* Floor supervisors or dealers may enter average bet estimates.
Be accurate — underrating loses casino revenue potential; overrating inflates comp costs.

*Time Accuracy:* Verify rating start and end times reflect actual play. Players
stepping away should be "paused" appropriately.

*Game Type:* Ensure the correct game and rules are recorded (affects house edge
calculation). Side bets should be noted if significantly affecting theoretical win.

**Rating Indicators:**

*Buy-In Amount:* Starting bankroll often influences initial rating estimates.

*Betting Pattern:* Consistent bettors are easier to rate than volatile players.
Note typical bet ranges.

*Play Speed:* Hands per hour affects theoretical calculations. Faster games generate
more theoretical win per hour.

**Ethical Considerations:**

*Accuracy:* Never inflate ratings to help friends or regular players. This is
grounds for termination and potential criminal charges for fraud.

*Consistency:* Apply rating standards uniformly regardless of player likeability
or tipping history.

*Privacy:* Don't discuss player ratings, losses, or theoretical calculations with
unauthorized personnel or other players.

**Tracking Without Cards:**

Some jurisdictions or circumstances require tracking uncarded players. Follow specific
procedures for documenting activity when cards aren't used.
