Fortune Room Question

[sthief09]

I've searched bw, here, and google and haven't found a satisfactory answer.

ok so I looked on a site (which I won't mention because I don't know if he wants it mentioned), and it says I have to play 15x(D+B) which works out to $12,500 per bonus. fine. but then it says I have to play 2250 $.10 hands. that doesn't add up. I tried to cash out and they gave me $500 + profit. so I'm assuming I didn't clear the bonus and they were nice enough to add it back to my account instead of saying "HAHA [censored] YOU DIDNT FOLLOW THE RULES. YOU LOSE."

but then I do some searching and see that on 7/10 gaming mouse posted in bw that you can't use VP autoplay anymore for FL casinos. so I check the FR T&C and see no such restrictions. just says I can't play BJ, craps, roulette, and one or two others.

so questions:
1. how much do I have to bet? I guess I have to do 37,500 $1 bets on 10 way A&F?
2. can I even clear it with VP?
3. is there a way of checking my bonus status?

Time and time again I say how bad that site is. It's just there for affiliate money and ALWAYS out of date but no one ever listens...

Fortune Lounge has new terms :

In which case, only $3,000 of your total Blackjack and Video Poker play (20% of $15,000) may be counted towards your total wagering requirements.

You MUST read T&C's before playing at any casino or you end up screwing yourself. You got lucky that they gave you the bonus back... they didn't used to.

you own fault for using that garbage copycat site instead of researching the T&C's yourself.

Fortune Room playthrough is currently 20x(D+B), not 15x. so you would deposit $500, get $250, and then wager $15,000 in order to withdraw everything. however, looks like BJ and VP can now only be used to clear 20% of the bonus, so you should probably just ditch this one and get your deposit back.

other sites in the Fortune Lounge casino group may not have the VP restriction though. Royal Vegas, Vegas Palms and perhaps others still carry the old T&C (for now). 10xAF would remain valid for clearing in these cases.

Also, FL is 20(D+B) or $15,000 of wagering.

You've wagered $3,000 on video poker so you still have $12,000 to wager.

Best bet now is 3-card poker. Basic strat is play any hand Q/6/4 and higher.

If you want autoplay, Pai-Gow or Casino War is your best route.

right. I did do my hw before I signed up with the site. I read things saying that site is out of date but I use it for reference. I went through bonusbonus anyway. if he legitimitely worked hard on the site I'd give him my business, but I don't think he deserves the $60 bonusbonus gives me.

anyway, I still don't see that restriction anywhere. I can't find anything about bonuses on the FL site and I only see those few games listed on the FR site. luckily I'm up a little from the autoplay. should I just quit while I'm ahead. if not, what should I play? I'm not so much concerned with variance as long as I have a decent EV for the bonus.

thanks for the help

Might want to try to find it yourself that way so you get the idea of how to do it for other FL casinos. Here's a quick link though if you're still struggling :

With a $15k WR, 12k of which is on these games that have a larger than blackjack HA, the EV of this bonus is getting really slim, right?
