Let's say a particular casino is known for giving more free play to people who have not only put a good amount of coin in, but also have taken a significant loss. Naturally, I don't want to lose to get free play. What tactics might you use to win, but have the casino believe you lost.
You might not be able to do it on video poker anymore but you can bury up win on some of the vulturable games. Like on Aladdin's when a column goes wild. You show a pretty steady loss until a column goes wild. You can pull the card, cash out, then reinsert a ticket and take the next 3 spins without the card in. The Aladdin's pay off when the columns are wild so you bury up that win.

You can do the same thing on other vulturable games but I probably shouldn't publicly name those games at this time. Another benefit of mixing in the vulturable games with your video poker play is you are showing action on 90% games.
Thanks Mickey. Naming the games probably doesn't do any good because my options are limited but I like the thought. I tried pulling my card when I get a full house or better on the deal (before I draw) and the machine is smarter than that. Follow up question... Does using the same ticket pose a problem? I.e. could they connect the win to me by the bar code on the ticket?
