This weekend I won $3000 on my card for free play in Vegas. What are some thoughts on how best to play it? I would like to play a high volatility slot like $20 Diamond Queen and shoot for a monster bonus round, but part of me says grind it on $10 Dbl Bonus 9/7.

Maybe the $25 Top Dollar for a few offers?

Well what is your goal? Do you want 3k cash or do you want 15k? Determining your goal would be helpful. There are also a few people on here that would probably buy it off of you for 75%.

Play the $100 video poker and hit a royal for $240,000 or $400,000

75%? Do they get to kick him in the nuts too? Buying FP usable on standard VP for less than 95% is highway robbery.

Lol well maybe he likes getting kicked.

I had originally wrote 90% but didn't want nasty pms about setting the price too high.

No need to sell. How would someone even get away with that? All I would have to say in a casino were most attendants know me is someone stole my card, the FP would be restored and the poor sucker would be out his cash.

On a more serious note, I am looking to make a decent amount (>5K is reasonable). I think with various games I could And yes, I have hit a HL Royal 10 hands in on FP before. That's a fun feeling...The VP of slots came down and cringed a little, that was priceless.

Interested to hear some serious strategies if anyone on here has played big and done it before.

OMG Kittens or Puppies is my favorite slot.

As far as pennies goes I've played 125,000 pennies per spin on a slot once.

I have thought about this myself - as I tend to win a lot of free play in the $300 to $500 range. Sometimes I think just playing 25 cents is the best route - more spins, more chances to hit the jackpot. But, so very dull. (The place I win the FP at doesn't let us play VP)

If Video Poker is an option - I would definitely play VP - and I'd play JoB because of the lower variance. And, I'd play $5 per credit.

Sounds like you already know your routes to take =)...

Max return on the $3k... 9/6 JoB, $10/coin.

Go for a "big win"... Hi Limit Slot, hope for a good bonus round... High reward comes with the high risk though.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

Not sure what you are expecting on the 3k Freeplay- I use over 3k in Freeplay most days- the value is what the value is - somewhere between 2900-3000. No different if you are taking three thousand cash and playing hoping for a win. Asking an opinion on using free play is same as using cash/ - you want a big win go for it- but no one can really give you any better advice on cash bs Freeplay. Insulting People in here and saying they must be high rollers is absurd- I'll put numbers against yours anyday.

"Using free play is the same as using cash"


Well, I know I'm obtuse. I can't believe that this one sentence breaks it down so simply. Thanks. I knew this - but I hadn't thought about in that way.

FP in a sense is like using cash mechanically, but it is certainly not the same. FP is not impacting your bankroll and it allows more upside. At least that is how I view it.

Sounds like VP is the consensus play here, but I'll prob spread the risk around a few different games and see how many hand pays I rack up.

Thanks for the input folks and happy new year!

No, it's pretty much the same.

Of course it effects bankroll- if you have 3k in Freeplay you have something worth -2900 in value
