I disagree. While the arguments Harry presented are valid, there are
reasons to prefer Free Play, and to me, these reasons make free play the
preferred method receiving casino cash --- at least for me. One such
reason for me is that Shirley or I can pick up free play for both of us.
This division of labor means that we both don't have to go to each place
where we get free play. Even for unmarried folks, sometimes you are out
of town when you can collect the free play. Having a friend do it is
possible with free play and not with cash back.
It's rare that you can pick up someone else's cash back, although at
Ellis Island (before we outroyaled our welcome), a $2 tip each time
would allow either one of us to cash both $30 every-three-
Another reason to prefer free play is convenience --- especially not
having to stand in a line. Trying to cash anything at a cage on a Friday
afternoon at a casino with a paycheck promotion is a time-consuming
process. Playing at a machine and then using a ticket-cashing kiosk is
much faster.
But as Harry noted, you don't really get a choice. If you patronize a
particular casino, you have to follow whatever procedures they have in
place.
There are folks who prefer the "guarantee" of cash back versus the
uncertain results of free play. For me this is a non-issue. I'm going to
be playing at that casino anyway. What difference does it make whether
you get guaranteed cash and put it into the machine to gamble, or get
free play?
