Party casino bonus - best way to clear?

Rainclouds · #1 05-07-2007, 11:29 AM

I got a small $25 bonus for party casino, wager $300 to clear. My options are:

Table Poker
Video Poker
Slots
Racing
TableCasino
JackpotSlots
Keno.

- Which game has the smallest house edge?
- Is it worth my time anyway?

Thanks. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I am sure it's not regular poker, since it's for Party Casino only and not for Party Poker. But I don't know what is really is.
Edit: quick search on Party's site: they have some poker games that are played vs the bank, such as carribean and pai gow. That must be it.

Their blackjack isn't the best but it is the best on the list. Don't play their VP the pay table is horrendous. And with only a $300 WR this is a great bonus.

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately, blackjack isn't on the list. I cannot clear the bonus with blackjack.

Be aware that if you lose your "bonus" before clearing it, you owe that amount to Party until you pay it back or clear it.

I got a $50 bonus(no deposit req'd) that I accepted, haven't played and will cancel since I have to use it at bad casino games.

There's an option to forfeit the bonus offer if you click 'try-casinoxx' under bonus code in bonus details...

Oops...never seen a party bonus without BJ before. Well I'm not 100% on this but their VP should still be the lowest HA. It can take a bit to learn but if you only have a 300WR it won't matter much.

Plus - VP is fun!

Yeah I've played video poker on my cell phone [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I know the optimal strategy from wizard of odds. The house edge on party's version is about 5% on both jacks-or-better and deuces wild, so from an EV point-of-view, I expect to lose $15 of my $300, for a net profit of +$10 after bonus.

Not worth my time, but I think I'm going to do it on some evening when I'm too drunk to play regular poker, just for the fun of it [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Video Poker definitely

Okay, I played 120 video poker hands for $2.50 and walked away with a $10 loss for a net profit of +$15. Also add a whopping 50 cents for the 15 extra party points I earned for the High Roller promo! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
