If you don't have enough money to play full-coin video poker, find a
two-coin slot machine that pays exactly twice what the first coin
pays and play one coin only. That way you have turned it into a one-
coin machine. Play slow to make your money last and take advantage
of any free drinks or anything else that you are entitled to. Not a
bad plan for someone short of cash yet still wanting to play
something.

What? Are you advocating playing any slot machine over playing short-coin on
a VP machine?
Pick Em is goofy since the SF also gets penalized for playing short-coin.
A Jacks or Better style game will cost you about 1.3% if playing short coin.
Playing short coin also means adjusting the optimum strategy to reflect the
new paytable.
