Recomendations on strategy to fast track to Top Tier club status

#1

I have an opportunity to become a "Top Tier" club member at a local casino by accumulating 15,000 points each day for two days. I am looking for the best strategy to accomplish this with the lowest volatility possible on video poker.

The best video poker available is "Ugly Ducks" at a 98.9% return with perfect play. There is also a $1 progressive with 9/5 JoB that can rarely becomes a positive play with the jackpot upwards of $7000.

There is two of us that can play on one card doubling the point accumulation. A double points day from 8AM to 5PM gives us $1 for 1 point.

Various machines with the same pay-tables are available:

Single line $0.05 - $5
Multiline (3 lines - 15 plays) $0.05 - $0.25
Multiline (100 line) $0.05-$0.10

I am thinking we are able to play around 200-300 hands an hour each.

Can anyone advise on a what would be the best way to go about this feat, what kind of bankroll would be needed and any loss and volatility estimates?

I'd want to play the most cycles to smooth out the variance.

You need to give them $30k action.

Try the nickel 100-play. Play 120,000 hands (1,200 deals). At 200 per hour this should take one player 3 hours each day.

Expected loss? 1.1% of $30k = $330.

Regards,
Brian

What are your video blackjack options. 2 for 1 with full split double
and surrender would be a possibility. If you can get 5 for 2 on bj it
is a 99.8 with very low volitility.
