The Wizard says that the player can cash out at any time as long as they are ahead. A part of Jetset's post seems to imply that no matter what, you have to play all the hands before you can cash out - and only if you are ahead.

If that's the case, then there is very little difference between Guaranteed Play and an online casino bonus with a wagering requirement. In both cases you are forced to to wager X amount Y times on a 5% house edge game... under the guise of "extending your play" (but most of the time guaranteeing a profit for the casino).

Wagering requirements at a B&M casino. I don't really like the idea either, but I bet with some tweaking they could make it work. Instead of starting at zero, start it at the number of coins equivalent to the purchase price, and say that in order to cash out you must exceed twice that amount. And the player should indeed be able to cash out a positive balance at any time they wish to do so.

Also, there should be some way to save the state of the session, so that if someone is playing and suddenly needs to vomit or gets an instant case of diarrhea, they can quickly hit the Print Ticket button and grab it on the way to the bathroom, then return later to finish the session.
