According to the app, the points do not expire. When you purchase a meal credit or free play using points, it has to be used on a specific day. I would wait until it is close to the day that I'd be there to purchase it, but I don't know if they sell same-day meal credits or free plays.

If you check out the shop on the app, it should explain everything. I have not yet accrued enough points to try this out.

ETA: I just took a better look at the store and you can buy same day food credits and free p

thanks! i just checked and it is offering food credit for same day (today). i have 129k now but i live in fl. come up to the area a few times a year.

You should only cash them in when you're at the casino because you have to use them the same day.

I was playing in a 1/2 game yesterday morning and one of the older regs there had over 2 million points when someone was showing him how to cash them in lol.


One of the players who commutes from NY and gets bus credits and free play just told me they discountinued using the free play on poker machines. I always assumed you couldn't use it on poker anyway since that's how it is in AC and other places (not that I know how to play video poker anyway) so I've been playing it on one dollar wheel of fortune machines (it's easier to track the dollars won in dollars instead of hundreds of pannies but thats just me).

Some of the home game regulars have their own favorite specific machine that they always play, is there a machine that has the best odds or largest progressive that's the better one to play (assuming I keep track of winning spines and cash them out at the end)?


I just won $75 on my first spin of a 10 dollar free play[emoji817][emoji91]!!!

LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I noticed on my last trip as well they disabled the free play on video poker. Sucks

Spinning free Wheels every day does pay off.

I bought $100 today from my free play points so I had $110 total for the day with the daily promo and I made $108 profit.

This truly is one of the best rake backs around imho ainec at all.




WOW I hope they don't report this to the IRS

Thanks to you my wife and I are spinning the wheel everyday religiously stacking up them points. Thanks for putting the word out.

Just search Wind Creek Casino in your phones app store. It's a different version than casinoverse.


I've been grinding the app too. Mostly just spinning the wheel once a day, but you can buy certain quests for 25k wscore which have you do some type of challenge - but the payouts are pretty big. I did one for 300k wscore and one for 500k wscore. 100fp for me is 1.7m wscore, so I'm gonna go for that.


i love how everyone here turned into slot addicts! i miss wind creek and am planning a trip back for a weekend this fall! I'll see you all at the buffalo machines!


Yesterday I played my daily $10 fp but didn't do so well for a change,I only won 2 bucks but like I've said I never put the winnings back into the machine (to me it's defeating the whole purpose) so I hit the cash out button, got my ticket, and waited on line at one of the cash out machines with a $2 ticket in my hand while second guessing myself. I put it in and it shot out two brand new one dollar bills in sequential order!! I used them as anchors around the outside of my money roll to keep it crisp and fresh so they definitely came in handy.

Moral of the story is if you stay with your original plan, good things will come your way.

It's different for everyone? I signed up two days ago and did a 300k wscore quest and from playing and doing another 50k quest I now have 550k Wscore. I can redeem 275k for $100 Free Play.

Maybe it's because I'm out of state that my offers are better?

It's different for everyone, based on your history there I guess. I've also heard once you cash in some freeplays they go away and the app becomes worthless.

I've been cashing them in and rebuilding it up again, but every time you cash something out your spins go back to 1x until the 5th day.

They're also still sending me $10/day free play which they've been doing for months (every now and then it's a random $5) and I don't play anything outside of poker. The app is obv designed for slot/table game players, so the only thing I can see happening is they might disqualify poker only players from spinning in the future but for now it's free money I'll take it for as long as it lasts.

I'm also gonna start logging my daily spins to see if I can find a pattern, or to see if it's fixed.

On Monday I cashed in 200 Wscore points for $75 in freeplay. I cashed out $108, but now I need 7M Wscore for $75 in FP...and that number was 4M yesterday. I knew it was too good to be true.

Everything is more expensive on the weekends. My 100fp still cost about the same as I've been paying (I don't remember exactly, but it's about the same) and it costs about double on the weekends.

Here's the prices if anyone wants to compare theirs with mine. I also don't expect this to last forever either, especially for a poker only player (I also remember when poker players were getting all the monthly free gifts, but not anymore).



Also, I was starting to think it was fixed since I only hit 100 yest and 1K the day before but today I hit a 5K for 25K total

Does free play only show up when you have enough wscore to cash in? Currently the only two things in my store I c an purchase are the raffles and quests

My food and fp isn't showing up rn either, just my daily $10. We knew this wasn't gonna last forever, but maybe they're just doing some maintenance.


Just checked my account and everything shows up.
I've never redeemed anything.

I guess save up the points and redeem a bunch at once if you can spread it across a few days.

Do you play table games/slots? That's probably why.

Whatever you redeem has to be used that day.

I called them and spoke with a lady in the Wind Creek app dept. and before I was even finished asking the question, she said (sounded like she's been saying it all day) they did an update and some people don't qualify for it any longer, but "keep using your card in the slots and at the tables and check back to see if you qualify".

When I look at the offers it doesn't date that day but you have to pick a date that week. For example I can add something for this Friday if I want.

I haven't been here since before COVID.

I used to get room offers from blackjack. I actually was still getting offers until 2022. But I called them a few days ago asking for a free room and they told me to pound sand.

You can purchse the items in advance but if they have to be used for the day you buy it for, which is why I just wait until I'm there in case my plans change. They're probably inticing you to come back to play then but when you've played it for a couple of months (and they realize you're not the degenerate they were hoping you were) it'll probably be taken away from you too just like candy from a baby, but I would just keep racking up points since you can easily pay for your room with all the free spinds and food you can occumulate.

I used to get a poker rate which was like 89 instead of 159, then like a 20 dollar discount, and now nothing. What was good about it was they would let you check in at 8:30am on a Saturday as long as they had rooms which they usually did, so you don't have to take a break from playing and walk all the way across the property just to check in and waste an hour of walking and waiting on line.
