Just free play. To me though, it is the same as cash to me. If I remember, they give you 30 days to use it. Since I used to go 3 or more days a week, it was all the same to me. Foxwoods lets you cash in your points for cash fifty cents on the dollar. Not a great deal, but I used it once in awhile. There is another downside to Mohegan sun free play. Once you download it, you have to play it all or you lose it. At least Foxwoods lets you cash out a playable only ticket if you have only played through part of the free play you downloaded.

Yep. Everyone gets a different number of status points they have to reach in a gaming day to get one. The lowest I have ever seen is 15. That is the number for the mrs. That still means you have to cycle through 7,500 bucks just for her to get 25 bucks in free play. My number varies from 40 to 60, so naturally I don’t hit it very often. At 50, I have to cycle through 25,000 to get 100 in free play. Also, when you do hit it, within the next few sessions, they will start upping your number for subsequent sessions. I would like to type a few choice four letter words about that. What it works out to be though is four tenths of one percent at my level. So on a 99.54 ultra boring job game, that puts just shy of a 100 percent return long term. If you factor in the usual free play you get maybe 20 or 30 bucks a session, that brings me up to 100 percent with perfect play. Unfortunately, for me, I’m always under Royaled lifetime so I lose a good chunk of change every year.
In the Mrs case, if she hits the award, she gets another one third of one percent back with the 25 free play based on the 7,500 cycled through. When they reopen, I’m going to have to study up on the pickem strategy and see if I can’t get used to and or liking the game. Especially, because lifetime, I usually get one dealt quad in an 8 or 10 hour session. Oh! Crap that is for draw poker. After I post this, I’m going to go to the Wizard’s site and check the frequency of a dealt quad for pickem.

Well, if I looked up right and did the correct math, I should hit a quad with pickem once every 2,358 hands. Not bad. For me, that would be once every four hours long term.

hey Car it does happen , but not to us ! my friend once said , when u r down at job, u stay down !!
I've had a few +$400-$500 runs on single line quarter 9/6 JoB without hitting a royal or straight flush, so it isn't always true. But probably 99.54% of the time it does stay down. ;)
I've had some good runs on JOB. Got up 1k with multiple quads on dollar play. But never remember 8 in an hour.
