So I got an offer for 50 dollars for me and a friend if we show up at our regular casino.
My problem is that the money is loaded on to your players card. You can't use it for baccarat, BJ, craps, or anything else with a tolerable H.E. Basically can't play any of the games I would consider.
All I can play with the voucher are the slots, video poker, and the multi action machines that have computerized BJ (probably with dealer wins 17 ties and crappy rules)
I don't know how to play video poker but I do have a book on the subject and understand poker on a basic level. Am I going to look like a total rube, or even kicked out, if I have the book in front of me during my session? That's what the book suggested but just wondering how you guys felt about that piece of advice.

Thanks for any help!

I'm just a little red-chipper so learning video poker for comps and + EV isn't exactly what I'm looking to do (at this time) Just wondered how you guys might play it if you were in my shoes.
