Harrahs | What is ADT? ADT Info

One of the most common questions that comes up from new (and longtime) Harrahs Hotel customers is “What is ADT?”

If you’re not a gaming player, ADT has little to no effect on you, so it isn’t really a necessary term to describe. If you want the most complicated breakdown of how ADT is calculated, please review out Harrahs ADT Patent Information which is VERY technical. Otherwise, continue below:

If you are a gaming player with Harrahs Hotels, ADT is incredibly important. It affects what sort of comps you get, what rooms you can book (and receive) and even effects what kind of service you may get at a given hotel.

The term “ADT” means “Average Daily Theoretical.” This is a number that is calculate by Harrahs to tell them approximately what you are worth to them in terms of gaming losses (or wins!). At the time of writing this, there has been no real idea of how they come up with this number. It is different for different types of gaming (VP, slots, table games), and can be affected by how much you have to play with, and how long you play.

ADT is also broken down by Harrahs Hotels in 3 different figures that we are aware of, plus a number of figures that we are not able to decipher. The 3 figures we are aware of are called “Prop scores” by the player-in-the-know. The figures we are not able to obtain are possibly figures that are based on a player’s average at each specific property, rather than an overall corporation-wide figure.

One theory on ADT is that this number is a given expected loss (or win) that Harrahs will attribute to a given gaming player. If your ADT is 600, Harrahs theorizes that you will theoretically lose $600 on a given day of play. This number is calculated based on the expected loss of the type of game you play, multiplied by how much you play in a day, multiplied by how much you wager. If you play a game that wins back 98% of your money (over a lifetime of play), that is a 2% loss. If you wager $50 per hand, and there are 20 hands per hour, your hourly wager is $1000, with an expected loss of $20. If you play 8 hours a day, your expected loss would be $160, with Harrahs Hotels tagging you with an ADT of 160.
