Low Roller Alert:

Rampart's "Earn 250 points ($1000 coin in) and swipe for some free play" on Fridays and Sundays promo is pretty lucrative. I've hit for $100 free play for $3000 coin in (3.3%).

I asked and the lowest win is $10 (1%). They have NSU+.25% for 99.98%

I don't know if it's for everybody or if its selective. I only knew about it from a mailer.

Nice chance to put $7000 through at 101%+ instead of 100.91%

And their mailers trounce Stations for the time being.

Some questions:

>Rampart's "Earn 250 points ($1000 coin in)
This means I would have to put one thousand dollars worth of coins into the machine, but not necessarily all of them from my pocket. Some of them would be "winnings"... so what is a reasonable amount Wallet Money it would take to do this and how long a time period would it be likely to take?

>Nice chance to put $7000 through at 101%+ instead of 100.91%
Okay, that is zero point zero nine percent difference which according to my calculator is 630, 420, 4.2. (As you can see, I'm not too good at using a calculator, either). Over what period of time would you be getting that 0.09 percent higher rate and what would it get you in actual dollars and cents assuming you played this particular VP game perfectly.

>And their mailers trounce Stations for the time being.
Well, it seems they are rid of management by the hotel or something and now have to make money as a casino.

the best low roller promotion going is in florida earn 90 points on thursday get three scratch cards, minimum 10 each ive hit 400 a couple weeks in a row
best part about it is they have digidealer machines for blackjack with a house edge around .7
90 points equals 2160 dollars coin in =
2160 coin in minimum theoretical return of at least 100.7 percent plus entries in the contest and another dollar in cash back

That is a nice low roller promotion. Wish I had been in town for it.

Golden Gate/Fitz downtown is doing a NASCAR pick-a-winner promotion that also seems plus E.V. I'll see if I can find a link to it.

I said 101%+ because I'm currently at 103.3% since the kiosk spit out a $75 free play ticket for me yesterday. You're guaranteed $10 free play for each swipe (1%). Playing this promo has been worth about $40/hour for me so far. You swipe your card after earning 250 points so any additional coin in that day reduces the value. I've been stopping at 250 points on Fri and Sun and giving them more play on 2X points Wednesdays.

They have 10-line nickel/dime machines with good games (Best return is 99.94% Super Aces, but I don't know that game and it has more than double the variance of NSU so I stick with NSU). I get about 450 games an hour through them so $1000 takes 50 minutes or so at nickels. If I'm in a real rush I'll do it on dimes in half the time. They're right down the street from me so it's pretty attractive.

And again, I don't know if it's for everyone or only those who received the mailer.

The 100.91% game I cited is at Stations on Full-Pay Deuces Wild when 2X VP points are in effect.

According to VPFW you can expect to be somewhere between $30 and $50 down after 400 10-line nickel NSU games. $200 bankroll should get you through it 99.8% of the time.

This ended up being pretty juicy for me. $9000 coin in for $350 free play. Average award $38.88.
