What was the most free play you ever received?

[olds442jetaway]

Agreed. Works for my Mrs. Usually about a. 75 percent return if quadless. For me, I tend to go for the home run on a pitch right down the middle. Unfortunately, most times I’m up against Mariano Rivera and he closes me out in short order.

Yeah, I got $32 on my $40 today at Ocean. Only $8 on $25 at dear old Caesars. But never fear; I parlayed it into $52. My pal quad appeared. Your FP is a bat transforming into sawdust.

$420.

Last month the 4-Queens in Vegas had a promo going where if you earned 4000 points you got $400 FP, $100 cash back and a $240 comp. As a new player I also received $20 in FP after earning 10 points.

I banged out the whole $32,000+ coin in during one session on mostly $1 9/6 JOB and some $1 40/10/6 DDB. I didn't hit a royal, quads and SF were close to expectation and lost $660. After running the FP and the cash back, my loss was under $200. Used the comp for dinner at the coffee shop and dinner at the steakhouse.

A minor loss on the play, but it was worth a shot. Upcoming mailer might be interesting.

Absolutely. I would love to simply get on a $32,000 coin in journey. Or, as Mr. Dancer might call it, breakfast.

Nice job! One time play through is the wisest choice for that sum. Most sums, really. It’s a gift; accept it as such. Why get reckless with it?

Disagree.

If you play it through once, you're likely not going to get good offers again. If you give them the play they expect, you'll continue to get the good offers.

are the offers worth it? It really depends on the expected loss and the amount of the free play offer. Several years ago, several Caesars properties in Las Vegas had 9/5 JoB with a 4% theoretical. If you played $150K through, you'd get $3500 in free play next time (which often meant twice a month).

Playing $150K at a -1.55% (i.e. the expected loss on 9/5 JoB) cost about $2,400. And for that you got $3,500 in free play two weeks later, plus lots of comps, the value of your points, and the value of Seven Stars.

They fixed the theoretical on those machines so this particular play isn't around any more. But there are still plays at some casinos where the expected loss playing what they want is less than the amount of free play they award you. You just need to find these situations. it helps to have smart friends who will share information with you. Do not expect such situations to be posted on a formum such as this one as that would overwhelm the casino and kill the golden goose.

I realize that this isn't the normal kind of discussion for the recreational forum, but not all the people reading this will be purely recreational.

This is a helpful lesson. I must churn out some decent coin in at least weekly. The casino can’t be my doormat. I would be complicit in killing my own goose.

Had $100 in free play today. Decided to use it on a lousy Bonus Deluxe Spin Poker game. Made 2 quad 10's after a few plays. Then a few more snapped this off.

I don’t care myself what is discussed in the different forums. I read them all anyway except those specific to a casino I may never go to and even then, I read most of them. You never know what good info or something funny will pop up and it could be anywhere.

Good point and well said OLDS.
