Good point Jim! My alcohol bill has never been $1,500 before!
Theoretically though you could get the points without losing any money.
IF you are playing the right machine. I played the same machine for 3 hours once and still walked away even to a little better. But there have been those like Seymor...Feed Me!
This whole thing brings up another question. I usually tip the casino servers extra. Suppose one does get the 1500 points, how much would be a decent tip? In the past when the servers have brought me a beer and said it was from the Hostess or Manager I didn't tip them on the spot because I didn't have any singles on me. I would however tip them the last night, as they were the ones serving me all week anyway.
