Torri McNichols wasted no time using her $200 in free slot play at Treasure Island after signing up for a new rewards card Tuesday. She quickly headed toward a Dragon Link machine not far from the Treasury Club hotel-casino rewards desk, inserted a $20 bill, loaded up the free play and hit the button for a max bet.
“Why not bet big?” the Rochester, New York resident asked rhetorically while lighting up a “badly needed” Newport Light. “It’s basically free money.”
After standing in line for nearly two hours, McNichols played through her $200 in free money in less time than it took to finish her cigarette.
