The $60K Casino Drawing
I went to the local casino late last night in anticipation of a $60,000 drawing. The fine print said if nobody won, the prize would be increased by $10,000 next month, and there's a $50,000 minimum. So nobody won last month. Five people would be chosen by computer and they had to register for the drawing within 60 minutes of the drawing at the kiosk where you swipe your player's card. Their name would be announced over the loudspeakers and they'd get 5 minutes to respond to the promotions booth/gift shop and they'd be shuttled into the gift shop, which was closed. Inside the gift shop there was a barrel drum that the officials can rotate with a handle on one one end. I would think there would be just 5 envelopes for the 5 people announced, but no. There were hundreds of envelopes in the drum, all of them sealed and filled with official free play coupons worth $100 to $1,000. Thing is, one of the contestants got a $50 free play coupon. I didn't see if she got two coupons in one envelope, but I don't think so. The MC of the event put one envelope worth $50,000 into the drum at the start after 2 people didn't show up and we waited an extra 15 minutes for someone to show up. Maybe the MC misspoke and said $50,000 instead of $60,000, I don't know. They also said $120,000 WOULD BE AWARDED in the December drawing. So you just run this scam all year adding $10,000 each month and only giving out free plays because nobody can find that one envelope of the big money in the sea of other envelopes? Well, since the jackpot is only $60,000 in July, that would seem true, but the fine print says there's a $50,000 minimum, so somebody must have won 2 months ago. How to get registered for the drawing: the higher tier you have on your Player's card, the more entries you get in the drawing. so it's going to skew very favorably towards highest tier entrants to get chosen. A highest tier entrant may get 250 entries, next one down may get 150 entries, and the next one down may get double digits (very low double digits possibly). A computer draws from the entries and the MC just reads the names & card numbers. You have to be attentive and ready to respond in 5 minutes. If your name is called and you're on a 70 free spin binge on a slot machine, you're not gonna make it unless a friend takes over the machine for you. I'm not gonna bet the house on winning this drawing, even if the house was only worth $60,000. I heard Sussudio playing over the loudspeakers just before the drawing started. That makes their music selection totally suspect. Posted by ChumpChange

What is Play+
Resorts World brings mobile payments to Las Vegas gaming tables • NFCWhttps://www.nfcw.com/whats-new-in-payments/resorts-world-brings-mobile-payments-to-las-vegas-gaming-tables/
Not sure how to buy-in for $28,800 at a craps table with this. Did I win that much on a slot machine or was it free play sent to my phone?

What good is a branded Play+ Card if you get thrown out of the casino? You'll have to go to an ATM across the street to get your money out. This card won't work at differently branded casinos.

Guess I'll have to go to a 7-11 and put $100 cash on the card.
Play+ load and balance limits vary by program. The standard maximum amount of funds you can load to your account is $2,000 per day, $4,500 per week and $10,000 per month.

Why my Even $ Bets on Roulette Lose
I could win 9 ahead instead of 3-4 ahead on a 25 unit buy-in (0 vs 00).If the machine spins once every 75 seconds, approx., that's 48 spins an hour.
I could get 4 hours on a 00 wheel, and 6 hours on 0 wheel per 25 unit buy-in.
I could get 2 hours on a 00 wheel, and 2.5 hours on 0 wheel per 15 unit buy-in.
I'm not gonna double my money by flat-betting. A progression may be different.

Mr. Chumpc: I want you to evaluate this possible craps "plan." Please do NOT revert to the mathematical gymnastics that you are famous for. Perhaps Mr. OG could also jump in. I tried this on WinCraps for a short time and found no downside, however, I know it cannot be as good as it seems.
The table is a $15 minimum.
Doey/Don't come out always at $15
What ever point is established: $20 FO + $30 Don't Odds
Then $15 DC for three different numbers and add the same $15 or $18 (6 or 8) Place bet for the same number. Every hit take down the bet with the win until all the numbers played are resolved during the hand. If all number have won, then either wait for a 7 out or point winner or you could hop the 7 for $3 for the next 5 rolls.
If nothing happens wait it out until resolution to end the hand. New hand, start again.
If you have a simulation entity, perhaps you could try it. There has got to be a losing scenario I am sure, but it looks like one could play this way for awhile.

Sorry. I don't understand your posted words or your table, beyond column 2.
Craps PL/DP HA: I'm taking the reciprocal of 0.0141 and getting approximately 71. If I take the reciprocal of 0.01389 for the Don'ts, I get about 72. So that's like playing a single zero roulette wheel where it has that "La Partage Rule" (and getting half your bet back if the ball lands on a zero). The lower House Advantage means you'll likely get higher highs on the upside. So if you place 400 different PL bets, the square root of that is 20 wins/losses, then throw in the HA of -5.6 bets and you'll be playing a game of 1 SD between (-25.6, +14.4). So I should set my buy-in at 25 units, and set a win goal of 15 units at the craps table over the time it takes to make 400 PL bets. Of course things could get to 2 SD or even 3 SD. That's another calculation and maybe another buy-in or two. I could try to set a win goal of 50+ units, but I'm gonna settle for 35 units for that fluke win streak.
