Wynn Slots Hints & Tips

Before my last trip to Las Vegas for the WSOP 2019 I went on my annual frugal hunt to find myself some freebies. To my surprise I found that Wynn had brought out their free Wynn Slots game where you can earn a stay at the Wynn Las Vegas. Needless to say I played & I stayed. I also managed to gather some great tips and hints for you to ensure you can get that room you dream of, FREE. Here for you are my Wynn Slots Hints & Tips.

Firstly you want to really build those gems. Don’t be stupid, don’t gamble, build them smartly. Soon you’ll be rolling in gems if you be patient. It took me less than two weeks to for two nights accomodation. Here’s how:

Play minimum bets only until you reach 30 million, play second level bets once you get to this coin amount. Once you reach 90 million move up to the third level of bets. Be sure you only play whenever there are events on. Ideally you want to “chip up” your gold coins when you get scratchers. Scratchers are gained by completing certain tasks during events. These will help you get up to you desired chip level. You can get 18 million, even 40 million, gold coins (chips) for completing these tasks during events. Events can be found at the bottom middle of the screen.

Always collect your free coins during events. These class as income for tasks. Also have notifications turned on so you receive free chips multiple times daily.

Rooms start at 1600 purple gems. You can book four nights consecutively. You pay absolutely nothing, the gems cover the lot. There are no resort fees and no other additional booking charges. You must have a deposit so that you can cover any incidentals though. You require $300 for cash and $150 for credit card.

Room upgrades are available for the low cost of about $30. This will get you well above the 50th floor with a panoramic view. Your room will have built in TVs in the bathroom and voice activated music, sheers, lights  and curtains.

How to really reach those goals? Play the hyper free spins, buy them. Let’s say you need to earn 50,000 gold coins to complete a task, this is the easiest way! Hong Bao will cost you at min bet level 3.2 mil to buy free games and it’s almost impossible to go broke...... though it’s tedious and boring.



Be sure to check out the calendar in advance to see what days you want to stay and try to book them all at once. If there are days that are too expensive in the middle of your stay, grab a Las Vegas Advisor Membership and you’ll get some beyond cheap accomodation from that. You can stay one night at the Wynn and the next elsewhere. An entire weeks stay can be less than $100 including resort fees if you do the right thing. Staying in Vegas for an entire week for $100 (add cheap food and even freebies) means you can concentrate on those flights.

Feel free to leave a comment to ask me any more details you may need to know. To get Wynn Slots go to the App Store like always. To get your LVA (Las Vegas Advisor ) Membership go to .lasvegasadvisor.comyou won’t be sorry!

Here is a more in depth video of how to stay free and cheap in Las Vegas. Excuse my hair and makeup (morning rants with the Hot Aussie Chick looking not so hot)....

Poker Tournament and Casino Travel Budget Style - SAVE!


We are always trying to save a buck no matter what we are doing. Hitting the poker tournament circle or taking a long distance trip to the casino we must do the same. Save a buck in every way possible! We can all go poker tournament tracking and hit the casinos based on our budget and save pennies no matter what they buy-ins, location or participants.

When travelling to our daily jobs, many of us car pool to save costs. To head to the casino the same method can be used. Don’t be shy to gather a full car of poker mates for the ride and split the costs equally! Pre-plan the trip in advance and get the numbers. You can also grab some last minute flight deals at budget price saving hundreds of dollars. There are also daily flight booking times where the same applies.

On arrival at your destination the same you can also save bucks! All you need is a place to crash (sleep) 6 players can easily share a $120 a night motel room crammed or not! Take a sleeping bag and be happy to sleep on the floor or even share a double bed with someone you rather wouldn’t! Maybe a friend already has a motel room and wants to buddy share? Network; look around at who is doing what.

Food and drinks can be a HUGE expense when travelling. We would all rather use our money more wisely at a Omaha or Texas Hold’em poker table! Pre-prepare and pack an esky. Ensure to pack food that doesn’t need to be cooked such as fruit, sandwiches and cold meat and salads. To save on mini bar costs take your own alcohol if you plan to drink. A 750ml bottle of spirits for less then $30 is a heck of a lot cheaper then 3 drinks from the mini bar. (This is of course if you plan to drink). You can empty the mini bar refridgerator on arrival placing the items in a safe spot and fill it with your own stuff.

Before you even hit the table you will be hundreds in front; and in front is what all poker players want to be! I hope my handy travel tips help those who are stepping out of the world of online poker into travel that they had never previously expected possible!

How do I know this? I have done it and are not ashamed to say so! Especially in my early days of being a poker journo! Save, save, save!
