Double Your Royal

Fiesta Casino on Rancho (here in Las Vegas) is offering the following promotion for the month of July:

Fridays & Saturdays (Saturday & Sunday mornings): Fiesta Late Night! 1am and 3am Moonlight Bingo sessions. $10,000 Introductory Cash Ball! Plus, Double Your Royal! Fridays & Saturdays (Saturday & Sunday mornings) 1am - 6am (with $10 min. buy-in at the 1am or 3am Bingo).

Questions:

1. Is the promotion worth taking advantage of?
2. What is the house edge factoring in the minimum $10 bingo buy-in?

Thanks for any advice.

Yes that is a gigantic player advantage depending on what VP machines you can use it on.

The $10 bingo buy-in doesn't make a difference.

Edit: They will double up to $500.

So just play the PISS out of dimes...every $400 royal you get will pay you $800.
If you could find a 9/6 JoB, then this would be a 101.8% play.

Fiesta has $.10 FPDW which would be the best choice. Work the night shift.

I concur, this is a strong play. It is mentioned on the Fiesta web site, by the way.

A problem I have with all the Station casinos is they have great full pay machines, but only at the 25¢-$1 single-line. If you want to bet more your best game is usually 8-5 Bonus Poker, at 99.17%.

The royal in 8-5 Bonus Poker is worth 1.99%. So double that and the return is 99.17% + 1.99% = 101.16%. The 0.17% free play makes it 101.33%. You can also get even higher by strategy changes to adjust for the larger royal.

Terrible's used to have a good double royals promo on certain days of the week, $0.10 machines and less. I played the piss out of dimes and never hit a royal ... :(
