This Friday, August 1st, I have another "hit and run" opportunity. I get my weekly free play money at Rincon (unfortunately it's only $40) but I also get another special promotion of $140 cash (which I will probably put right in my pocket), plus I get be "bounce back" (cash back) money from June. I haven't received my mailer yet, so I am going to take a guess that my bounce back money will be about $200 to $300. I will also be able to get $30 of free play by converting reward credits. (I always convert because I have more than $2,000 in total rewards gift cards.)

So my Friday "hit" will be at least the $140 cash (I spend about $40 on gas for the trip) plus whatever I can cash out from the free play. If I have $300 total of free play (estimate) I think I will get at least 50% of that in cash for another $150. (Playing 8/5 Aces and Faces or 8/5 Bonus I am hoping for a much higher return, of course.)

Bottom line I think I can "bank" about $300 on Friday which isn't a bad day's pay for having fun. Plus, I get $60 food credit and that will certainly cover my New England Clam Chowder fix.
