    Local casino giving me $10 $15 and $25 match play every day

    Fuking floor manager told me yesterday its OK to just come in and play the Match plays. No additional action required. I have been going in every once in a while, getting the match plays then playing for hours.

    I normally wouldnt go in just to get the match plays and play 3 hands, but I saw a lady do it yesterday. She got her match plays, played 3 hands and left. I asked the manager how long they would allow someone to just do that. He said if thats what the player wants to do, its fine.

    So here I am thinking, If I go in and get my 3 match plays every day for a year, call it 300 times as I know I wont be able to go in every day. So 300 times, and figure winning 50% of my bets that comes out to + $7500 with no real risk at all because long term no way you lose doing this.


    Anybody think the casino would really allow it ?
    I say the casino would tell me to fuk off after doing it maybe 10 times tops.

    My guess would be that lady loses big dollars sometimes so that day they just let it go. Probably didnt want to say anything as they know she wont do that every day. Thats my guess anyway.

    This casino is technically paying players $25 just to walk in the door as the real value of $50 in match plays is $25. You play it on Pai Gow and you will win pretty close to 50% of the time as the only house advantage on that game is the house wins pushes which dont happen very often at all.

    I dont go to this casino that often, but i think I will start going in when I have 30 minutes or so to blow. Maybe play $10 on a few pai gow hands and then play my 3 match plays. The pai gow hands are virtually 0 EV, maybe the house advantage is .25% when you dont play any of the side bonuses, which I dont.

    I am going to start doing it and just see how long it takes before the casino says no more match plays for me.

    I am guessing what he really meant was its OK to just play the match plays on any given day or 2 but you sure as hell better not try to do it every day. even though thats not what he said.

    If it is worth your time to go everyday for slightly less then $25 then do it till they make you stop... You might try and extend the time they offer it by adding some cover play in but this would extend your time commitment and lower the EV. If you really were worried about killing the offer you could also vary the time you went so you are interacting with different shift personal everyday...

    On the other hand, as it pretty obvious how to exploit it, other people are probably already doing the hit and run method (and telling others about it as well) so all of this probably wouldn't do much to extend the length of time it is going to be offered as, more then likely, they will pull the promotion rather then try and ban individual people...

    If I was going to do the promotion I would probably just go as often as I could until it gets burnt out...

    If I lived within 10 miles of the casino I would be there everyday to pick up the FREE $25

    On a few occassions, if I won the freeplay, would play a hand or two more.......again, only once in awhile.

    If they have more than one PIT AREA, I would play each matchplay in a different PIT AREA, allowing 10 or so minutes in between eash coupon played.

    This is one of those things as gamblers we find, get excited about, do the math on how much income we can expect over 1, 2, and 5 yrs, and then its gone in a week. Kind of like sportsbook cash on here

    R u saying ANYONE gets 50 bucks worth of freeplay everyday or just special players like yourself.

    Sounds like the casino has identified some good losers and has no problem paying less than 25 bucks to get them in the door

    They will start reducing the amount real quick if you don't play like you usually did. The points/match play is based on time and average size of bet, thus if it changes the match play will change.

    Here in Arizona they give coupons, 2 per month, dated, so you could only use them certain days and you could just go to the cage and cash them babies in, it was easy gas money, now you have to play them, I assume too many people were cashing and dashing.

    You have to figure out what your time is worth honestly.

    Foxwoods gives me 25 points once a week for every of the year.... Also, I get a match play once a month and get invited to random drawing guarenteed between 25 and 10,000.... But I'm so lazy I don't advantage of any of them very often.... except for the points, because its nice to bring the lady to a hotel every once in a while.

    I also get the poker rates on rooms, so thats nice.... Wish I took advantage of it all more often though.

    No, its for everyone. But you have to give your card or your ID so they know if you already did it that day. But that is also a way that they probably track how much you win or lose and I am just guessing they arent gonna let me do this for very long.

    I will play for a half hour playing $10 pai gow which is like a 0 EV game. No bouns play, just the dealer vs. player bet.

    I am going in tommorow as I worked all day yesterday and today and I will just do it until they tell me to fk off.

    JJ GOLd are you trying to be funny ????

    Its worth $25 a day and it will take me 45 minutes to an hour per day to go there and play 20-30 minutes and go home.

    Call it 50 minutes a day average thats $30 an hour. How in the world you get $5 an hour is beyond me.
