Anyone ever done any casino mystery shops in New Orleans? What table games are played? Are slots played too? Food, drinks? What is reimbursed? Parking? Etc? Thanks.

I've never done a casino shop in New Orleans, but several are offered in the Midwest. I recommend you include a guest to help keep track of times, names, dialogue, etc. Check the guidelines for reimbursements, table game requirements, times of day to complete specific items, etc.

Bumping this topic - I recently saw a casino shop offering a total of $33 pay for 11 "mini interactions" (as they describe it). No overnight stay. Has anyone done this type of circuit before? I find it kinda incredulous that the observations are easy enough to warrant $3 each. I'm hoping someone will prove me wrong?

$33 is a joke. I did a shift visit which was probably 11 to 12 interactions and got paid $60 plus reimbursements and would not do again for less than $200 pay plus reimbursements. If these are truly mini interactions maybe $75 would be fair. Since no casino has been named which MSP maybe we can provide better insight.

I've done that one a few times. It's not too bad overall. You do have to make sure to ask the right questions, and there is some odd bits in how to do the slot machine check and get a drink, and getting all of the names for the table game, but the gambling allowance is pretty good and you can keep all of your winnings on top of it.

Oh on intelli Triple the initial fee so $33 make it $100. Just my general rule for them.

I haven't done one in New Orleans, but B Business Solutions has a few casino shops, one up in Connecticut that I do regularly- I believe they have a few other casino clients, too. They're relatively easy, pay well enough (money-in-your-pocket) and have a generous gambling reimbursement. They also give you $20 to buy a snack for yourself while in the casino, because part of the shop involves drinking the free liquor given out by the casino and, presumably, they don't want you drinking on an empty stomach.

The only downside to the shop I can think of is that there are certain kinds of table games you have to play and the shop requires them to all be different; this sucks because sometimes you cannot find the specific games, you do find the games but they have a high minimum so that you won't be able to spend the requisite 20-30 minutes at the table with a reasonable amount of money, or you're just new to that specific game and are uncomfortable playing it.

Say, for instance, you need to play four card poker, black jack and roulette; you can't just play multiple games of black jack at different tables with different dealers, you must search the very large casino for roulette and four card poker tables as well. And you're given a generous gambling reimbursement but that's assuming the minimum bet is $5-10. If you can only find roulette tables with $25 minimum bets, you're either going to have to wander around for hours hoping another one with a smaller minimum opens up or show up, be weird and bet really slowly to fill up the requisite time.
