I keep getting offers to do free blackjack and poker tournaments at Bally's after I attended for a conference.

I'd be on the hook for airfare and resort fees, but if I won I could get into the high 5 / low digit range in "casino play", and it could be a fun way to spend a weekend.

So how does that work? Can I take my casino play, ask for it in chips, play one hand at $5 blackjack?

Basically, how do I value Total Rewards casino play? (Sort of like how you can assign a value to an airline mile)
