Putting your paycheck through the machine

I was thinking it'd be fun to work at a casino where you could get paid in free play as a higher wage than if you took it in normal money.

Then I got to thinking I could simulate this by putting my check through every week.

Anyone have thoughts on what the outcome would look like putting $1000 into slots every week? My go to is $1.50/spin, call it between 500 and 700 spins. What's the worst week look like to you? $300-500? Should I aim for a different spin count, like 200 @ $5?

If anyone has ideas how I could best set myself up for success, like what kind of things I should be thinking about and figuring out as far as how to pick a casino for comps (realistically for $50k through the machines a year would a Vegas casino comp me flight tickets at least 2x a month or am I looking local), best types of slots to play, when it's best to move from one machine to another, or anything you think would be beneficial to know beforehand, I'd appreciate it!
