Background: During December and March stays of one week, played .25 single-line FPDW, NSUD, JOB, FPDB, and other positive or near-positive games, always with slot club bennies pushing the play up over 100%.

MSS: FPDB + 0.1 CB + mailers
Gold Coast: NSUD + 0.5 comps (seniors) + mailers
Palms: FPDW + 0.25 CB (no mailers)
El Cortez: JOB MS, FPDB + 0.2 CB (multipliers) + mailers
South Point: NSUD + 0.3 CB + mailers

I played about 7 hours/day at 1000 hands/hr. Once I played at a particular place, I stayed there all day to keep my daily average up. I finished up +$1100, though my EV was more like +$600.

So now I am staying the ENTIRE month of July, at the above properties, with free rooms, about $300 in free play, and about $250 in food comps. I will also be doing both an LVA and an American Casino Guide “coupon run”. All in all, this will be a free vacation, aside from the cost of driving there. I don’t know what the proper way to assign a valuation to all this might be, but the rooms would certainly average about $40/night at least, so I’ve gotten about $1750 in “kickbacks” from my play earlier this year. So despite the fact that there aren’t that many good quarter games any more, the low-roller can still get a heap of goodies if he plays in the right places and knows how to work the system.
