I think any money inserted in the machines counts toward the $500 limit, even
coins. It is true that you can squirrel away tickets to get around the limit.
Another tactic is to cash out tickets when you are ahead and use them later.
If you use up your $500 limit during one of the two hr. sessions you cannot
insert any more money, even tickets, til the next session. Thus if you plan to
use saved tickets you must stop at $400 and start using the tickets.
