Free play question

#1

I have what is probably a one-time only opportunity: if I play $100, I receive $100 in free play.

The best game is 9/6 JoB and there are no other points or comps available. They offer the game for dimes, quarters, halves, dollars (and higher) in single line and in 5-play, 10-play and 50-play machines.

My goal is to maximize the return on this promotion without playing more than the $200 (i.e. $100 of my money and $100 of the casino's).

I think that I should play single line to decrease the dependence on dealt hands. But should I play single line dollars (40 hands), halves (80 hands), quarters (160 hands) or dimes (400 hands)?

What would you do, and why?

#2

Single line dimes offers the lowest dollar variance.
What I'd like to know is what casino offers 9/6 JB in single/multi line dimes.

If you press "cash out" do a bunch of dimes fall into the tray??

Is this an online casino's promotion you're talking about? It sounds like one. If it is, I'll offer my two cents.

Well I would probably play the 6/9 JoB at $1 or 2$ token level to get it over with as fast as possible. Since you are playing less hands, the fluctuation would be greater the larger the denomination. You stop worrying about stuff like that after your first decade and focus on shortening your hours.

Others may have different advice, but this is what I would do now.

There was a time when I might have played nickel 6/9 to collect the free-play, and to practice my two machine speed.

Many casinos offer 50- and 100-play vp with 9/6 JoB at the dime level, which can be played full coin from one to the maximum number of lines. And no, dimes don't fall into the tray--you get a ticket when you cash out.
