I'm curious, how do most of you go about "picking up" your free play?
More specifically, do you play until either you hit something big or you run out of credits? (i.e., take a pot shot because it's house money.)
Or, do you just play the minimum number of hands until you can cash out?? (i.e., take the money and run.)
I am curious about this too. My guess is everybody will have a different theory from everyone else. Is there any math or calculated strategy for playing the free play that differs from playing your own cash?

It is my OPINION that the MONEY is not MONEY until it is played through the minimum number of times. At that time, it becomes my MONEY and all play and strategy is what would be normal for me.
I can take it and leave, or, if I wish and if I think the machine has reasonable play, I can continue to play as I would with my own money.
I do use the best paytable available to play the "free play" through, in an attempt to maximize the return.

This is such a good question with such a complicated answer, I've decided to make it an on-air topic for the radio show.
Just to paraphrase. You have two diametrically opposed forces working against each other.
1. How to get the best return from your free-play today.
2. How to continue getting the most amount of free-play in the future.
...and all the while trying not get break casino rules (written and implied) and maintain your good standing.
For some, this means getting away with as much as the market will bare.
For others, this means playing it safe and always giving the casino some good faith action.
There are arguments for both strategies. I'm sure others will chime in on what they do. Offering my own methodology would not answer the question for you, since I'm a non-standard case.
