What was the most free play you ever received?

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

as a high variance game player for mostly $1, my actual losses can be $150/hour.

Which is terrifying for me. Even -$90/hour on quarter JOB feels like death.

Hand pay itch has led to some happy memories, but more pain and drain.

Beating the casino has never been easy. In 2019 it's nearly impossible. My goal when I play video poker is not to beat the casino. My goal is to have a good time at a reasonable cost. I don't expect the casino to provide me with free anything. When they do, there is a reason behind it.

I understand the casino needs to make a profit and I wish them well. Once in a while the casino let's me walk out with a profit. It never lasts. The casino knows I am never satisfied and will be back. The casino and I are locked in a delicate balance. I like what they provide and they like my money. If one of us thinks the other is getting the upper hand, we change the game.

Yes. Very much a love hate codependent relationship. We are in thrall of that magical four figure payout. They are content with our frequent three figure donations. I can envision at least two AC masochists. I'm letting go of major losses. Give me that reasonable cost trip anytime.

Had another friend win $4000 in free play this weekend at Harrahs. He was able to convert this windfall into $3400 cash.
