JANugget Question: Higher theo machines?

I was there yesterday for the 3x points day...and I saw a pro I recognized walk in...sit down at a bank of $2 NSUD and within 30 minutes had hit the royal and was on the machine next to it banging away while waiting for the handpay...
My question is:
I know the highest comping machines give .3% base....however, a LOT of pro's I'm noticing play these TWO particular machines ($1 and $2 denom)...
I plan to clock these machines next weekend to see if they give better than .3% base comps, but if you know of anything better, please email me in private.
Thank you

FWIW: I clocked more machines this past weekend...they're all .25%

Clocking machines provides information on comps/cashback but not theo.
Used to be a time when you could ask for your theo.
Don't know if u can now get that information (or if should even ask).

At the LV Hilton back ~10 years ago, the FPJB theo was cut from >3% to <.3%; while 99.9%+ E.V. machines maintained a decent theo. The new mgmt. knew the EV of FPJB but not the other games.

Finding machines with a high E.V. and a high theo was/is sweet.

Nugget doesn't go off of theo AT ALL. (At least not for machines)
I asked my host what they base it off of and she specifically said "Coin-in"
Basically all of their vP returns .25% "Johns Dollars", but I have found a select few that return .30% (I know, like .05 is HUGE...but hey, every little bit counts!)
