If you play $.25 video poker at five coins, then you are betting
$1.25/hand.
If you play 1000 hands, then you bet $1250, and that would be
your coin
in.
Your coin out is whatever the machine paid you for your hands.
Your win (or
loss) is the difference between your coin in and your coin out.
Most casinos award slot club points or comp $ based on coin in.
If you know
the rate of point accumulation and how many points you've earned,
you can
figure out what your coin in was. If they don't make that
information
easily available to you, then you need to estimate your coin in
from
estimating how many hands you play in an hour, multiply that by
the number
of hours played and the total bet/hand to get your coin in for the
session.
At some casinos (Coast properties for instance) slot club points
are based
on coin out. To figure your coin in there, you take your coin out
and
subtract your winnings (or add your losses) to figure what your
coin in was.
At many casinos, you can get the coin in information from the slot
club or
from your host. The annual win/loss statement from the casino
(which you
can request) usually has this information on it as well.
