Slot players don’t interact with dealers on every play, as table games players do. There are far fewer situations in which tipping casino personnel is common behavior. On slots, the main tipping situation comes with hand-paid jackpots. Most slot machine payoffs just add credits to the meter. Slot machines are some of the most lucrative games on the casino floor for both the players, the house and cheaters. Even though they’re electronic, slots easily attract as many cheaters as.
Most freeplay vouchers will make you play through the amount. If you have $10 in free play those credits would need to be played. The good part is most machines use the free play first so if on spin 1 you hit $50 you just need to play through the free credits then cash. So no from what it says on yours you will need to play the Freeplay and hope to hit.
What is a slot freeplay good for? A casino i went to had a promotion going on where if you bought so much in food you got a slot freeplay. At the time i bought the overpriced food i was thinking well that's not bad it will be like getting a discount on the food with the slot voucher. I haven't used it yet and today when i looked on the back of it the fine print says all credits must be used on same machine and any unused credits will remain on machine. So i'm confused now, i thought i was going to be able to put it in the machine and then cash out so i could get the value of the freeplay in cash but now that i read that statement it has me confused. Will i be able to cash it out on a slot machine?
Free play is exactly what it says. You get to play for free. In the case of Hooters Las Vegas, you get $200 worth of credit on a machine, which you then have to spin through until you hit a winning combination of a certain value. Which you can then take.
Other places have free play you can use, and once you have spun through the all free play, eg $25, you can cash out any winnings It is something you would have to clarfy with the casino.

The mathematical expectation of that 200 dollar free play is less than four dollars. It is an utterly absurd 'freebie' offered to new account openers and is barely worth the time invested in playing on either of those two stupid machines its valid on.The way most of these free play coupons work is that you can cash out winnings, but not unplayed credits. So if you played $10 of free play on a quarter machine at one credit per spin, you would have to play 40 credits to 'launder' the free play, at which point you could cash out all your accumulated credits. If you tried to cash out after playing only 20 credits, you would get your accumulated winnings, but 20 credits would still remain on the machine.
If you want to simply obtain as close as possible to the coupon's face value, find a Jacks or Better or Bonus Poker VP machine (make sure you are playing a game that pays 2-1 for two pair), and run the credits through once. I get back about 95% of the coupon's face value, on average, when I do that.
When you think you're close to having used all the free play, cash out. Whatever remains in the machine was how much free play remains.
Here's another tidbit:
If you end up with multiple cash tickets, put them back into the machine, then cash out. That will consolidate them, so that when you go to the redemption machine you won't have to receive excess coins and small bills.
My right hand counts tens, and my left hand counts ones (one, two, three, four, five fingers out, then five, four, three, two, one back in). For my first ten spins, I hit the 'repeat spin' button with my right thumb. The next ten, with my right index finger, and so on. Once I've hit the button ten times with my pinky, I know I've made my 50 spins and can cash out.
I'm always concerned -- perhaps needlessly -- that cashing out prematurely will wipe out whatever freeplay is left. Instead, I count on my fingers: let's say I've got $10 freeplay and I'm playing a 20¢ spin. That means I'll need 50 spins to make it through the freeplay.

Not to worry. You CAN'T wipe out whatever freeplay is left by cashing out early. It will just remain on the credit meter, waiting expectantly.
One blunder I'd like to caution against (because I've seen people do it) is hitting something big in the middle of laundering freeplay, then joyfully cashing out and forgetting the credits that are still on the machine.
