I don't really play a ton of slots (usually only if I have some free promotion dollars to use). But I was thinking (and I am sure this has occurred to everyone). But is there any way to play with an advantage on a slot with a high payback (96-98%). If you use a player card at casino that offers slot dollar bounceback (when you earn 1 or 2 dollars for every 100 you use) and comp dollars (dollars that can be used like a credit card at bars and stores within a casino, but often can also be converted into slot dollars).

So if you play a slot that is 98% with 1-5% (varies by casino and sometimes day of week) bounceback on losses and 1-5% (again varies by casino and day of week etc...) Comp dollars which are earned on money gambled (don't have to lose money unlike bounceback, at least at most places).

Unless I am missing something if you play on optimal days and obviously use a player card on a 98% machine it seems like you can earn an advantage between bounceback slot dollars and comp dollars (if you convert them into slot dollars). Like I said I don't really play much slots so I must be missing something since this would be too easy?

I've never seen a casino base slot points on losses. It's always based on coin in.

The one thing that I would not do is value come dollars the same as cash.

At best, they are paying your expenses while you are in the casino, but if you were not in the casino to play you would not have these expenses. They have some value, but IMO they need to be discounted.

I agree, but they can be converted into slot dollars (usually), which gives you an additional source of slot dollars.

How will know know if the slot you are playing is 96% to 98% its rare to even find one? Some machine banks may say UP TO x% however you need to find that machine. Also the casino will often give you a worst rating if you play the higher % machines(not all).
