I have read a lot of threads here about this machine returns 100.2% and this one 100.7%. To a new player it sounds like you can play perfectly and always win on these machines. I have also seen posts where fpdw players can average $6.00 an hour playing. Correct me if I am wrong but the return on the machine has nothing to do with short time play. In all of these machines the overall percentage also includes eventually hitting the royal. If you do not hit it the percentage of the machine will be less and in the case of progessives a lot less. You can play perfectly but if the royal alludes you it will drain your bankroll. This is where luck comes into play. No one that I have read has definitly quantified what long term is. Yes if you play alot and don't make mistakes you should hit a royal but there is nothing carved in stone that says you will.
