Best way to clear huge rollover bonuses on Ignition?

Made a deposit with a 200% bonus. Fired up $5 DDB VP and smashed a royal. How can I clear this without losing my whole ****? Rollover reqs are insane. VP contributes 10%, BJ 10% and single deck blackjack clears 5%. I have to cycle through like 70k

Yeah the bonuses are pretty worthless nowadays. IIRC the house edge on the regular blackjack was like 1%. So cycling through 70k will cost you ~$700. Use a risk of ruin calculator to determine a comfortable betting unit.

That's $5 coins, so you hit a $20k jackpot? Cheapest way is what etothemc2 said, find yourself a blackjack table and play maybe $50/hand. If you know what you're doing, research the effect of the blackjack rules on the house edge. Playing single-deck can drop the house edge from 0.393% (2D H17 DA2, no RSA 3:2), to 0.046% (same rules), so it may be worth it EV-wise to play the single deck if you're only being penalized by 50%.
Make sure you have the strategy chart up right next to the game so you're not giving away value.

It's really between JoB and the six deck blackjack. JoB has a very slightly lower HE, but I think BJs strategy is easier, can be played faster and has lower variance.
I've cleared these bonusses at $5/hand for low variance, but it takes a long time and I think it was before the bonusses sucked and rollover was shorter.

Good luck collecting. Would not surprise me if you got stiffed, from some of the other people I've heard about lately.
