Las year if you took your boarding pass to a particular downtown casino within 24 hours you got a match play coupon. Does Allegiant still do that?
Yes... I did it in April at El Cortez. There are also offers in the Allegiant Magazine in the seat pocket for downtown. GOOD ONES ! I won $100 free slot play
Golden Gate will give you $50 in match play chips within 24 hours of arriving. I've done that just about every trip so far. I'm about even with it.
I played my Match Plays out in April - I had $150 accumulated over the past few trips. They let me play them without any money of my own. Also no player's card necessary - which was nice since I was only 'walking' by and not sitting down for a session. Basically a 'hit and run' without the casino knowing I was there (made $100 from Free Play Match Play Chips - they are in $25 denominations and are a bit larger in size than regular chips - and yellow color!)
The magazine on Allegiant plane I was on out of Peoria, IL for the past two trips in March and June required 1) Redemption of the $50 offer within 24 hrs and 2) Use or sign up for the Golden Gate players card to obtain the yellow chips 3) Match Play with your own money. We redeemed the offer both of these trips and all 3 were required. They do give you the chips and you could hold them for use later. They did not require my card when playing the match play chips.
The number 3 section makes sense. I forgot that my Match Play yellow chips were from offers sent to me, not from the Allegiant Air offer, so maybe that is why I didn't have to use my own money. I think they use the same chips, however, so I wonder if they know how you got them (Allegiant or offers), so maybe I just got lucky with a pit boss in a good mood? Thanks for the update!
SO if I put down $25 cash and $25 in Match play, say on roulette - on black - and the ball lands on black, how much am I getting paid?
You'll get 3 greens back. Your original bet, your win on that bet and the win on the free bet. You both should be able to play your free play at the same time.
What time is the players booth open till there? I imagine that's where you have to go to get the match play?
