The "value" of the D $5-$100 Slot Free-Play Bonus in the MRB

If you play at the D or Golden Gate anyway, this coupon is the best in the entire book, as even with ~ $5k coin in, you'll be earning close to the subscription price to the LVA from this coupon alone.

 

It would be nice if they could also include a coupon for Circa with this same deal, next year.

So, 50 points is $500 coin in and that gets you $5 in freeplay. Earn 1000 points ( $10,000 coin in) and get $100 in freeplay. 

 

You can't play the freeplay through the BP progressives at the bar on the second floor. There is a 7/5 bonus poker single machine progressive on the first floor. 

 

So, your expected loss on the $10k coin in is about $83. This generates $100 in free play, which through the 7/5 BP progressive is about $98. So you make about $15 on the play.

 

But this does not include the value of the progressive meters, cash back/comp and mailers. 

 

$10k coin in will get you free rooms, a food offer and some additional cash back.

 

Overall, a very good quarter level play


You are dead right.  Not sure what I was thinking.  Thanks for correcting the error.  

It seems that the primary value of the coupon is to get you on their radar for a small profit.

 

I hadn't investigated that much, because I had good room comps at the 4Q. Also, a food comp at Circa, the land of the $26 pastrami sandwich, won't go far.

 

I'd be interested if anyone could relate what kind of offers they'd gotten for what type and volume of play

Is coin in the same for Maverick and Legend card holders?
