For the year, free hotel rooms, meals and show tickets are down more than 9 %.
Some casinos made a conscious choice to cut back on comps when business worsened. These include the three Trump casinos, which are in bankruptcy court, and Resorts Atlantic City, which is fighting off a foreclosure bid by its lender.
Atlantic City is in the third year of a revenue slump that began when slots parlors opened in the Philadelphia suburbs in late December 2006, cutting into its customer base.
