Playing $0.50 9/6 JoB at the Plaza's Sand Dollar bar, what percentage does the $500 slot play bonus coupon on a RF add to the base game? With similar 9/6 coin in, I am guessing the current FQ $60 free play after earning 600 points has a higher return, but not 100% sure.
First of all, on JOB or JOB-based games, you can expect to hit the royal after playing 40 to 44 thousand hands. I use 42,000 to estimate. So when playing .50 9/6, you get 200 extra bets ($500) for every 42,000 hands you play. That equates to a bit less than 0.5%, turning the game into a breakeven proposition.
The 4Q offer is 60 bucks in free play for $4800 coin-in, or 1.25%. They also return 0.9% in comps and cash back.
So the 4Q play is far better as well as less risky.
