Monaco Gold offer $500/160%/12X

Deposit $500, get a cashable $800 bonus with playthrough 12X
($15,600). This is a pretty good offer---I wish I could do it
again. Of the allowable games, the best are video poker, PaiGow,
and War. I played most of this offer on $0.25 4-line 9/6 JoB (total
of $5/hand). At first I went down a couple hundred, then went to
the cashier to check my comp points (when you get to 1560, you can
cash out). When I came back, I must have clicked on lowering the
wager to $0.05. After playing a while and getting a couple quads, I
noticed that I was paid $1.00 for a win, which can't happen with
quarters, and then I realized what was going on---dumbest mistake
I've made online---cost me about $100 I think. Up to this point I
kept great statistics, and then quit. When I was losing, I went and
played a little War or PaiGow, but couldn't win at that either---
lost a total of $220 on those.
I did snag a SF holding A-2-5 and another one holding 7-10. Caught
15 quads including 1 holding a lone ace and 2 (out of the 4 hands)
when holding three 9's. Balance went from $1300 to $550 and I
thought I was actually going to lose, but caught a decent streak at
the end to finish at $660. Add $15 in comp points for a $175
profit.
Depending on your philosophy, you could make this a very long play
with single line nickels, or go for the big win. You need about a
95% payback to actually lose and with 97% you'll win over $300. So
even though I won, I feel like it was one of my worst efforts. They
took about 6-7 days to pay to NETeller.
