The FreePlay at pepps can't be accessed to play the FPDW.
It doesn't work on one of the banks, and does work on at least some of the machines on the other bank (or at least did, I've definitely used Free Play on the FPDW).
I think it's just the sub-
100% games,
This is definitely not true. It definitely works on many of the machines in the high limit area that have 10/7 DB and 10/6 DDB. It should work on any machine that has the green "Free Play" sticker on it, and I've found that it also works on some machines that don't have the sticker.
BUT, I think I've played $1 10/6 DDB with freeplay credits in the high-
limit area, that game is over 100%, slightly. If you haven't used FreePlay yet, you set
it up at the promo/info booth, give them a 4-digit PIN and then easy-to-figure out
the rest. You can use FreePlay of almost ALL the VP machines.
I think you'll find that, as you have a host at Pepps and I think you have a healthy
comp balance, that you can get a room anytime you want, no need to stick to the
mailed room offer dates. I only eat one big meal a day, so I go for the Suite, but if I
was more frugal, I'd get a regular room as I don't spend much time in the room.
Most of the mailed room offers come off your comp balance anyway. There are exceptions - mailed coupons, slot desk coupons, card swipe coupons, and coupons from promotional booklets do not come off your comp balance. If you use a coupon that does not come off your comp balance, you will be charged the daily "energy surcharge" on the room. If you use comps, you won't.

The room will be charged to your comp balance, but the fact that you got the mailer suggests that you already have that in your comp balance. If you don't, and you don't play, I don't think you'll be presented with a bill at the end, but you will now have a negative comp balance, and may have harder time booking rooms in the future unless you put in some play without stay. Of course, it's up to your host to decide exactly what happens here.

It depends on what you want out of the comp system. One way to go about it is to talk with your host about how much you play, and if there's something you want ask him if it's likely that play will get you what you want. If your trips all tend to be about the same average play/day, then after a few trips you can get a good feel for what you can get with your level of play.

DB is a volatile beast. If you decide you want to play it at the $ level, expect to have swings of up and down a couple grand in very short order. Bring plenty of money if you want to try this.
