At a casino on the wrong side of the Cdn/US border (wrong because I have to cross the border to get to it), they are running an infrequent promotion again:
Earn 50 points on your player's card (300$ of coin in total) and get a coupon that you can use to buy $100US at par (that is for $100CDN).
Was there on Friday (that seems to be the only days when it was running).
VP is brutal there--6/5 JOB at all denominations, but VP coin in is treated same as slots. Casino exchange rate available at the time: $1 CDN = $0.78US, which to a Canadian works out to 28% gain.
This would be in addition to the FABULOUS (:)) free play of $2.00 available in the above example.
Intuitively, this seems like a big advantage play--$28 on $300 coin in, even with horrible pay schedule. Assuming that I play 95% payback VP, am I correct? How about for 85% payback penny slots? Again, intuitively only, I'd say yes in the first scenario, no for the second, but that's just my opinion.
Any responses appreciated!!
Was a fun ride home explaining to my good friend how this was the kind of "advantage" I could find in abundance in Las Vegas, which is why i usually go there instead of here.
Thanks to all who contribute here, from Bob Dancer and Jean Scott, to all the other "regular guys and gals", like me!!!
