I got an email a few days ago from MS, they're running a 100 dollar free play offer.
" Free Slot Play Bonus
We're guaranteeing you at least $100 in Mystery Free Slot Play Bonus!
Simply insert your Player's Club card into any slot machine from 8:00am on April 13, 2010 through April 16, 2010 and again from 8:00am on April 27, 2010 through April 30, 2010. "
Not exactly sure on the details of this offer but I was there last Tues, because I don't have work til late on Wed. I called and spoke to a host and was told I would receive 100 in free play just by using my player's club card at any slot or vp machine, but it expired in the early morning on the 17th.
I started off slow, playing .25 bonus poker which is your best bet at the 25 cent level at MS. Doubled my first 50 used in free play and then headed to the $1 Pick'em. I know pick'em is the best VP available at MS, but I find it to be such a slow and boring game haha. I much prefer to play jacks or better which there are still plenty FP at the $ 1 level. I read on this forum that someone went on a Thurs night and couldn't find any Pick'ems open. Well at 10 on a Friday night there were plenty open, one of which was happy to take my remaining 50 in free play :(.
So I headed to my favorite bar at the casino of the Wind which has FP jacks or better. I discovered in the back of the bar the machines allow you to double or nothing your bet on FP jacks or better, which I had never seen at MS before at the FP level. Hit a straight flush there for 250 and then was happy to find that the 5 hand FP jacks or better machine outside the High Limit Slots area was available.
This was my first time playing multi hand jacks or better, and it is a dangerous game haha. After surrendering some of my winnings there I worked my way around some other 9/6 jacks or better and ended the night up 250 plus another 100 in points on my card, which puts me half way to Wolf.
I'll certainly be heading back for another 100 in free play!
