I have $300 in free play at the Wynn. What is the best game to play and at what denomination if i just want to only run the $300 free play through? The data base shows 9/6 JOB at $5. However that is 12 hands and your done. Whould it be better to play $7/5 BP for $1 or .25 with lower EV but more hands taking more of the volitility out? There is no 9/6 JOB in the lower denoms.
free play question
This response to a nearly identical question from a few years ago might help:

If the link doesn't work the suggested game was video roulette. Is there a flaw in the suggested strategy?

So for a $5 bet, you have a 18/38 chance of BREAKING EVEN (i.e. receive a real $5 chip) and a 20/38 chance of losing your funny money chip. Round numbers you're playing with a 52+% disadvantage. Your average result for running $300 through such a system is about $145. Bob

What you're describing here doesn't seem quite right. When you get a $5
free play chip and play it on red/black in roulette, they take the chip if
you lose and if you win your $5 chip is exchanged for a normal $5 chip and
you get the additional $5 chip for winning. Either way you could think of
the $5 chip being exchanged for a real $5 chip before either being lost or
doubled. When I visited Vegas and went couponing I'd hit craps and roulette
in this manner for variety when the blackjack table was full at a
particular location (and for a $5 or $10 match play on an infrequent trip
to Vegas, I wasn't really considering EV so much as entertainment).
Roulette is certainly a terrible game to burn through a *lot* of free play
on, but the EV of betting red every time through $300 is still $284.22.

I'm going to take the liberty of cutting and pasting the post that someone named "GOLDFADA" make a few years ago in reply to a similar question:
If your goal is truly to get as close to $500 as possible, then you
should play video roulette if it's available. By betting $13 each on
the 0 and the 00 and $237 each on the red and black, you're guaranteed
to leave with either $468 or $474. No matter which video poker game
you choose, you cannot be assured that the result after a small number
of hands will be close to $500.
Assuming you can actually do this on a video roulette machine and the paytables aren't changed from standard payouts you would have 100% chance of walking away with 94.7% of your freeplay. I might consider playing that game.
