When it comes to casino free play, a simple rule exists: You must play through it once, and what you get out of that playthrough is yours as cash. A player wonders if the casino cares what you do with it from there:
I have been using my free play and after I’m done expending it, any of the winnings on the free play that pops out of the machine as a pIay slip I give to my wife to use. Then I go ahead and use my own money to play the machines. Does the casino know or would care if I I’m doing that?

The casino might know, or at least the pieces to know you’re doing this would be there. Technically everything’s recorded, so the casino might be able to see that your wife used a ticket previously printed out by you. It’s unlikely they’d look into that (especially if the ticket and players card systems aren’t sharing data), and we don’t expect they’d care, especially in this case.
Mostly what a casino cares about is you don’t do a hit and run – play your free play, turn what you can into cash, and leave. You keep playing, in this case using your own cash, but you indeed continue to play after your free play is exhausted. To them, you’re holding up to your end of the bargain.
The whole idea behind casino offers is to entice a player to come back and play again, ideally at least at the same level they traditionally play. The free play is a marketing investment to encourage your return. Once the free play is converted to cash, it’s yours to keep or do what you want with it, so you’re totally fine.
Hopefully, your wife has a bit of luck playing on it, and you in turn with your cash, but your system seems fine – and if it weren’t, we’d expect you would have had someone reach out to you about it in some way by now, or have your offers turned off. You’re in good shape in our book.
