Judge me but I’m definitely going for the $7,500 straight to my account. Why would I want to leave something that has the potential of being lost to the casino.
A bird in hand is worth more than ten thousand. I think this is the best quote for this question, because why would I leave the cash for a bonus. Even if I’m a risk taker I don’t think this is the kind of risk I’ll be willing to take.
The reason I’m thinking like this is most likely because I’m a low roller so I’m a low risk taker but for someone that bets huge amount this might be the kind of risk that they might take but for me? It’s a no go zone.
So would I, the risk of walking away with nothing is much greater than cashing out the guaranteed $7,500. The one reward is cash, the other is a bonus; both have the opportunity and the possibility to become something great, depending on how you manage them. Personally, I'd cover some emergency expenses (new shocks etc on car + full service I'm going through right now), pay some left-over loose ends and book my next trip, at least the tickets and perhaps the accomondation.
I'll still have a great amount of money to build my bankroll into something more extravagant, and also save some of the money. This situation to me sounds like a win-win.
(I'm also not familiar with the slots "Wanted dead or alive".)
