Paul,

Actually, FPDW would be a great game for dollars, if you can find
it. The problem is that once you get beyond quarters, games with a
significant off the top advantage like FPDW, All American, or FPJW
Kings+ are very rare. This is what Bob Dancer is talking about. At
the dollar level, most of the good opportunities that you can find
involve either progressives or games with near 100% return combined
with a good cash back rate (such as you might find on multiple point
days). For instance, 9/6 JOB at a casino with normally .33% cash
back but with 1% cash back on triple point day (overall ER of 100.5%)
might be a typical play for a dollar player. This is not really all
that great a game, but it's fair. It's worth about $15 to $20 per
hour, depending on how fast you can play. Also, you can add any
bounce back cash, which could be fairly significant for dollar
players - depending on the casino. Other good games (better than
JoB) which are fairly common at the dollar level are Pick'em, NSUD,
and Double Bonus. But you still need a good cash back rate to make
any of these games worthwhile.

At the $5 level, it's nearly impossible to find anything better in
single line machines than 9/6 Jacks, or the occasional progressive
machine that has gone positive. But, you can sometimes find better
games in multi-line formats that allow you to play the equivalent
amount of money per spin. For instance, you might find a 5 line
dollar NSUD machine which is still $25 per hand. But just like the
dollar player, you still need to get a good cash back rate to make
these games worthwhile.
