$100 Restricted bonus on Party...what to do?

[shipitkthx]

So Party put a $100 restricted bonus in my account, it has to played at Party Casino and I need to wager $2k in order to clear it. What is the best way to go about doing this without risking anymore than the $100?

blackjack (if permitted to clear the bonus) has a house edge of about 0.5% using perfect strategy. so wagering $2000 should theoretically result in an average loss of $10, leaving you $90 from your original $100. playing $1 a hand would probably clear it in a few hours once you've memorized the hit/stand chart.

I can't use Party from the USA anymore so I can't tell you for sure about the T&C. someone else may chime in with more current info.

Play blackjack 20x WR is a good bonus for a casino.

Party's BJ is about 0.7% HA. The multiplayer version is the best deal, but it still isn't fantastic. In any case, just flat betting on BJ should work fine for this bonus. You don't ever have to risk more than $100 on this one.

Mind you, last time they offered this bonus, I went $5/hand and left the table every time I hit $110 (rebuying for $100 at a new table), since anything you earn above the bonus is yours to keep. Maybe that's a reason to use a more sticky-like strategy.

Are the winnings cashable?
Got a bonus like this some time ago at Party Casino. Played $100 pr hand blackjack.
If you lose the first hand, so be it. You lost the bonus, but saved a lot of hours.
If you win, cash out & repeat. If you're lucky, you can make a couple of easy hundreds, without any risk.

Good plan but don't do that on the bj will give you bad odds because you cannot double etc. Put it on the roulette wheel instead (or baccarat)
