$2500 Macys Card or Casino Play or Reel Rewards - Total Rewards

Hey all,
I got an offer for either a $2500 Macys Card or $2500 in Casino Play. I'm trying to figure out what my expected return on the Casino Play would be. It says "play until you loose" so I assume that means you get to keep playing with their money if you win. It also says that the coupon can be issued in smaller incremental coupons when available, max of 10. Has anyone else used these Casino Play coupons and know what denominations of chips you can get? I figure if I can just play $10 minimum bets on blackjack I should expect to return about 98% of the original $2500 but if I can only get 10 $250 chips then my actual return could vary wildly.

I also heard someone using one of these as Reel Rewards vouchers playing both red and black on a single 0 video roulette until the entire coupon was played through. Return on this would be around 97%. Does anyone know if Caesar's Entertainment has wised up to this and wont let you place offsetting bets on video roulette with a voucher?

Thanks!

With the Macy's card you will be lucky to get 90%. Accordingly you would be a lot better off with Blackjack or single zero with pretty much any playing scenario.

If you can play with a confederate, play baccarat. You bet on either banker (or player), and your confederate bets on player (or banker). For example, you bet $500 "casino play" on banker and you confederate bets $500 on player. Just make sure the confederate acts like he doesn't know you.

Some of the craps machines can be rather effective for running cash through the system. I don't know how kind any of the CET units are, but if they have a 5x odds unit like The Orleans, you can run 185$ for 1$ of insurance. (Ignoring bets that are resolved immediately, the number grows to about 250:1.) A 2x unit will show an average of 103:1 though, which isn't shabby.

Most places I've seen disallow free/promo play on things that can be effectively neutralized, like roulette or craps though. (The Plaza and Tropicana do, though they're the only ones I can recall off hand specifically.)
