I’m quite leery of “free consultations.” If you don’t give any substantive advice, the whole thing is essentially a BS session. But if you do give legal advice, you risk malpractice when the client misuses the advice.
You also risk that a petition preparer like “We the People” will encourage their clients to take advantage of the freebies given by lawyers, and then cut-and-run back to the cheaper petition preparers, armed with free legal advice.
Finally, the free consultation creates an automatic conflict of interest for the lawyer. You don’t get paid unless the client signs up for more legal work. This can taint your advice. I’m not saying most lawyers misrepresent for financial gain. But the relationship gives the inherent appearance of inpropriety. We ought to avoid this.

About to head to Vegas myself for a Georgia YLD conference. Perhaps I’ll try to internalize a few marketing lessons myself while there, although more likely I’ll be too busy blowing a bundle on blackjack (although I don’t always lose at blackjack, I’m something of an amateur card counter).
I think you make great points, and any solo would do well to remember them.

The $25 dollar chip was not for free. It was in fact part of the price of the hotel room. When you choose the hotel room you based your decision, in part, on that $25 chip (it was in the advertising.) Also, when another guest gambles with their chip and wins the hotel has to pay out. Where does the hotel get the money to pay out? In part, they get the payout money from your room cost. So, the cost of your room is increased so that other people could have $25 chips.
When you decided to get the room you may have said to yourself: I understand that the room will be a little more expensive than it might have been because the hotel will have to pay when people win from the $25 perk chip; nevertheless, I think I will gain more from the perk chip than the increased price of the hotel room. So, I will take the hotel room.
As you alluded, the value of the chip was much less than $25 because it had to be gambled all at once and often it will be completely lost.
A marketing session put forth as a free consultation is likewise not free. The client pays with time wasted when their initial comparison included an extra bit of time not in the normal price scheme.
