Nestled in the woods of eastern Connecticut, Foxwoods Resort Casino is the largest casino in North America with more than 320,000 square feet of gambling space. The resort includes three hotels with about 1,400 rooms. If you'd like to stay here for free, join the casino's rewards club and use the card as you play in the casino to build up comps.

Sign up for the Foxwoods Rewards players club card at the players club desk or online at Foxwoods.com. In addition to earning comps as you play, you will also receive room offers in the mail or online if you provide your email and mailing addresses.

Use your card when you gamble. Insert the card into slot and video poker machines to earn points, and give the card to the dealers when playing table games. A floor supervisor will put your information into the computer and track your play.

Redeem the points you earn for a free hotel stay or other comps such as free meals, show tickets and merchandise. You can do this at the players club desk or the casino host desk on-site at Foxwoods or at Foxwoods.com.

Tip

Use your points within a year of earning them. Points that are more than a year old expire annually on Dec. 31.

Warning

More often than not, you will lose much more than the value of the free room when you gamble. That's because casinos tend to give back in comps only about 20 percent of a player's expected loss. So if your room rate is $80, your average gambling loss to obtain it would be about $400. However, with short-term fluctuations you can still win, and Foxwoods will give you a free room regardless of whether you actually won or lost.
