Yesterday, Borgata had a 10x slot dollar promotion from 2-7 PM. I knew it would be hard to get on a 9/6 Jacks machine just before the promo started, so my plan was to get on a machine by 12 noon or so, slow play at .50 and the switch to dollars at 2 PM. For a change, everything worked to perfection. Hit a 2K royal the first hour, so had plenty of bankroll for the promotion. Picture on IPhone but too incompetent to know how to download it to this site. Nevertheless, played from 2-5 PM then had to leave for a meeting. Lost $200 playing the dollar Jacks, but checked my slot balances this AM and earned $195 in cashback. Not bad. By the way I have never seen the place so crowded. When I left at 5 PM there wasn't a seat at any VP or slot machine. Anyone else there yesterday?

Outstanding motive to play this wonderful promotion by showing up a few hours earlier to reserve your seat.

At 10x points where cashback rate is 0.1%, it will be 1% during this promotion. Hopefully you played as fast as you possibly could.



Got rewarded with a Royal to put the cherry on top.

my neighbors were there carcounter and said it was too crowded but as soon as promotion ended the placed emptied out.

Stopped in yesterday to play my $195 CB from the 10x promotion. Played single line 9/6 dollar Jacks and cashed out at $300, so the promotion definitely worked out well for me. Have 4x and 5x coming up soon I believe, but 10x is too good to pass up. Gotta get down early to get a seat though.

Next time there is a 10x promotion, I will take a shot at the 9/6 dollar triple plays. Didn't have enough bankroll last time.

I do not know how fast these machines are

I used the Dunbar Risk Analyzer

For 2000 rounds of 3 play $1 JoB (4 hours at 500 per round)

$1500 will have a 26.48% chance of ruin
$2000 will have a 10.44% chance of ruin
$2500 will have a 3% chance of ruin
$2750 will have a 1.4% chance of ruin

I'd show up early to start putting in the $100 bills in the machine to be ready to play when the promo starts. I'd say a $3000 bankroll will be safe for this.

Opening a casino credit line definitely helps, you will get approved based on the average history of the checking account balance over the last three months.

You guys are spot on. I was thinking between $2,500-$3,000. Not that I would be happy losing that much, but the risk would be worth it.
