It seems generally accepted that the best way to work off the $80 bonus is blackjack. I submit that pai gow poker may be the best way to go due to the large number of pushes which still count toward the wagering requirement. Plus blackjack bores me to tears. I was just curious if anyone knows the theoretical EV's of the two options.
For the record, I have played two months. Last month I played blackjack and made it a little over halfway to fulfilling the requirement before busting out. This was before I knew that the remaining portion carried over month to month, so I got impatient and bet bigger than I should have trying to get it done. This month I played pai gow at $10/hand, finished off both months and gained $34 from this play for a total +$114.
