Playing off free play

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

Wait, good idea. Take the $20 or so I'll monetize from my $25 FP and slot it. Easy come, easy go.

How do you play off your free play?
I'll quibble a bit here and say it's not free slot play, but earned slot play. In any event, I do not usually find the amount to be very significant relative to what I normally initially feed into the machine. I simply load the slot play into the machine, add the normal feeding amount, and play on as usual.

All I can say is playing my free play in a slot has increased my bounce back free play. When I play only VP, my free play normally runs about $25 a week. After I hit the $1,100 slot jackpot, it nearly doubled then dropped back down the following week. It is possible this could have been due to some other factor. My casino has so many programs, I never know what the casino is going to give me until I put my card in the machine.

They hoped to snare a regular slot sucker.

I see the entertainment value in slots. Some of my friends only play slots and they seem to have a good time. My personal experience with slots has been consistent. Nine out of 10 times you are going to lose your money. One out of 10 times you are going to win a little. One out of 1,000 times you will win big, but never enough to recover your losses. Video poker played accurately is a much better value for your money. The worst games have a 3% house edge. If you are going bankrupt paying the casino 3%, you may want to rethink what you are doing.
