Jean
Scott "Queen of Comps"
Jean has been crowned the Queen of Comps! Jean has the same philosophy we do
about casinos and , the more you know the more fun it can be. Jean has
shared her invaluable knowledge in her books and tapes. If you want to get
the most from your dollar, I strongly urge you to check out her book, tapes.
Jean Scott started out life as the daughter of a minister, raised to
believe that thriftiness was next to godliness. In 1983, after raising her
family and retiring from teaching high-school English, Jean visited Las
Vegas for the first time and thought she'd died and gone to bargain heaven.
Her life-long propensity for frugality was fully stimulated by the
ubiquitous bargains, coupons, and promotions of the town.
Not only that, but the love of games and the competitive spirit she'd
developed in early childhood were challenged in the casino. By studying the
available literature and practicing intensely, Jean learned how to gamble
smart -- first at blackjack, then at video poker. By trial and error and an
eagle eye for deals, she figured out how to use the rating and slot club
systems so well that she began getting all of her meals and hotel rooms
comped by the casinos, without being a high roller. One year she and her
husband Brad stayed 191 days in casino-hotels without paying a single room
charge or food bill.
Finally, after 15 years of on-the-job experience, during which she and Brad
learned how to win more than they lost in a casino, she combined her love
for teaching and writing by penning the best-seller book The Frugal
Gambler. This practical non-technical book is the leading casino guide for
thrifty low rollers, in which she stresses sensible and responsible
and shows how to stretch out casino fun time no matter how small a person's
bankroll might be. The Frugal Gambler catapulted to #2 on
amazon.com's bestseller list after Jean and Brad's story was told on a
recent episode of "Dateline."
Her passion is still education while she continues as an active player in
casinos all over the country. She conducts video poker classes and is a
popular speaker and writer on gaming subjects. She has a monthly column in
Strictly Slots magazine and a weekly Internet column called Frugal Fridays
on www.lasvegasadvisor.com.
Jean Scott's exploits have been featured in newspaper and magazines articles
and on the radio, not only all over the U.S., but overseas as well. She has
frequently appeared on TV: on local news shows, on the Learning, Travel, and
Discovery Channels, and in a travel feature on British telly. Besides
"Dateline," she was seen nationally on "Hard Copy," "Extra," and "To Tell
the Truth". When she won a new Mercury Mystique in a casino drawing while
being filmed for "48 Hours," Dan Rather dubbed her the "Queen of Comps."
Today, Jean Scott, who, in her words, is just an "ordinary grandmother,"
is the world’s most famous low-rolling gambler and her fans are legion.
