You\u2019ve probably heard of folks getting grocery carts full of food for pennies. We use that concept to maximize the value on standing casino offers and coupons. Combining them in order is the key and every one of these techniques lowers or eliminates the house edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some examples using signup promotions and the MRB free play, matchplay, and food coupons (Plaza, The D, Golden Gate, Downtown Grand, El Cortez, Ellis Island, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the free play first. Run a $10 coupon, for instance, once through a good video poker machine, ending up, hopefully, with $9.50 or so. Use that money to pay some or all of a matchplay coupon. A second option is to use it for a 2-for-1 or 50%-off food offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example: The D always gives me some free play and food comps. I like their low-key Circa book upstairs by Bar Canada and the Circa outlet next to Rainbow in Henderson, where I play, a lot. The comp minimum can be as low as $5 or $10, or higher depending on play. Use the free play and MRB free play to pay for the $25 or $50 matchplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Also the \u201cSouthwest Show Your Ticket\u201d and the \u201c Mention Mike\u201d for additional matchplays. The D, Golden Gate, and Circa also give you non-expiring chips. Others, like Downtown Grand and Plaza, give you a 24-hour matchplays.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have a series of, say, three chips, play them one after the other. Craps pass line is the best bet. You\u2019re making a 50\/50 bet with a 2-for-1 payoff. Bet $50 to win $100 and your bet back. It doesn\u2019t get much better than that \u2014 playing on their dime, their time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, depending on how hungry you are, try the pizza at the Plaza, shrimp cocktail at Fremont, burgers at Binion\u2019s, or a Coney dog at the D (or meals at Four Queens\u2019 Magnolia, Siegels 1941 at El Cortez, Freedom Beat at the Grand, or many others.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I use my comp and money from free play or matchplays and my food MRBs \u2026 on the house!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s na old example of extreme stacking. Ellis Island had a placemat offer for $10 in food or free play for a sign up and $10 for you if you brought someone in. I brought in a dozen or so people over time. Then I played 9\/6 JOB, cashed out, and had their killer steak dinner for $8.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But wait! I used the MRB coupon for 50% off and on points. I called it \u201cFree Steaks Forever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info found at VPfree2 lists every casino\u2019s player club points calculations and the best video poker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank me later or buy a Bobby Vegas T-shirt. One says, \u201cSo many casinos, so little time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stacking is a concept born from mad coupon grocery shoppers who scour multiple offers to get free food.
