440 spins on VP for 100 slot points

Went to the casino and there was some mention that getting 100 slot points qualifies the player to a U-Spin for a food points comp good for that day. I won $5 on it which barely covers a $3 tip on a $20 fish fry & fries. But I was playing craps and my comps today were measly compared to my last trip recently. So how good is this U-Spin? It sucks, you can win $5, $10, $15 or $25 in food comps, or win nothing, or even lose $1. Imagine that, losing a $1 on a U-Spin. It didn't seem to be worth the effort to win 100 points, and my tier points are only going up about 1/4.5X as fast as my rewards points. If I earn $9 in rewards points, I may only get 200 tier points, which I don't understand.

So I asked at the slot club how much money you have to gamble to win 100 slot points. I was told $400 on regular slots, $550 on the Video Poker/Keno/VBJ machines, and e-Roulette gives no points and can't play points.

So I'm trying to figure out how many spins at $1.25 of VP is $550 and it's 440 spins. So I'm starting off my night of the home game and after 315 spins, I'm down $100 or 25%. That is so much more than any food credit I would get. But if I wait around until 440 spins, maybe a quads will show up and improve my RTP. 17 hands later I hit quad Queens on Double Double Bonus VP and it brought my session loss to -$38.75, or a 90% RTP. I'm averaging 10 hands a minute, so it's been 33 minutes so far, I should budget 45 minutes for this exercise.

After 440 hands, I was down $57.50, or about another quads win. I was down 10.45% for the session, and I had 4 to a Royal Flush that was only a Flush.

I'm not sure if the U-Spin requires 100 tier points or rewards points. But in my 3 hours at the $5 craps table I only got 120 tier points, which was equal to about 540 rewards points. I'm going to guess that it's Rewards points that qualifies for the spin. I was grandfathered-in at the $5 table when it went to $10. I was told if I can eat and return in 20 minutes, I can still play at the $5 level. I spent 80 minutes eating. There was a football game on the big screens and I heard the National Anthem and was astonished by the shrieking of the singer. I stuck around for the first touchdown. I went to the cage to change a $20 into two $10's to shore up my buy-in allotments. The craps table was empty but returned to $5 status. I decided to come home and see if I can drive for 80 minutes without a nap this time since I was hopped up on 5 Cherry Cokes and not quite exhausted from the day and savoring a winning day.
