When I pick up free play for somebody, I always play single line video poker for quarters and it will be 9/6 jacks or 8/5 bonus to reduce the volatility. I'm not aware of any casinos that do hand pays on this type of machine anymore unless it's an old coin dropper, and as long as it's not a progressive equal to or over $1200 no tax slips.

<< If you can find 5 for 2 blackjack, that's good, almost a fair gamble. maybe. 4 for 2 blackjack is about another -2.3%. Note 5 for 2 is the same as 3 to 2, and 4 for 2 is the same as 1 to 1. The difference is on the machines you almost always surrender your bet, even when you win, whereas on table games you typically keep your bet if you win. As always see wizard's website for more info.
Another option on free play pickup is video roulette, I think single zero is -2.5% and double zero is -5%. I you can find video craps, possibly another good option. I think 3x odds is -0.5%. There are other options, so as always look around a bit. >>
A common rule set for VBJ is 1 deck, H17, D10, NDAS, NRS, LS10. This yields a house edge of about 2.75%. This is pretty comparable to double zero video roulette. It's uncommon to find single zero video roulette. Sometimes you'll find VBJ with substantially better rules. Unfortunately, often it will be on the slower machines with the big video displays.
I like the video craps idea. Though it's not as fast as VBJ, and has higher variance, if you're taking odds.
The goal in picking up free play is generally to get it done smoothly and efficiently. The person picking up the free play will be motivated to offer a better deal to the owner if he can get it done with a minimum of time and hassle. A percentage point or two in expectation one way or the other, playing through the amount of free play once or twice, isn't a big consideration for those involved. If you can capture the bulk of the value, the mission has been accomplished. If you're having your non-professional-VP-player friend play through the free play on VP, you should be asking yourself, how accurately do I really think he's playing?
