Using .005 as the avg loss per hand for full pay JOB, the loss per spin would be .005X1.25=.00625
Using .0046 .0046X1.25=.00575
Using .012 as avg loss per hand at one coin, the loss per spin is .25X.012=.003
Therefore you wil lose twice as fast playing max coin at JOB (including 4000 coin jackpot) as you would at one coin.
The only items to make up the difference are cashback and comps.

Over the long term, playing 9/6 JOB, (not counting
comps, cash-back, etc.), you lose 1.63% of your
money when playing one coin. But, you only lose
0.46% of your money when playing five coins.
Yeah, it's a no-brainer!
Five coins.
Always.
(*THAT* should have been the answer in the QOD!)

No, the QOD answer is still correct.
You're missing the spirit of the question which was to minimize the *actual
dollar loss* for the day, not the EV percentage numbers. Surely you realize
that there are different bankroll requirements for playing 25-cents VS $1.25
per hand. The conclusion merely states that one-coin is ideal for minimizing
*dollar* loss and, if bankroll allows, no other choice but 5-coin should be
played.

Hi Dennis.
I believe that answer given by LVA QOD is still wrong, even
if they were addressing the "minimizing dollar loss" issue.
They should have answered, "Play five coins at a lower
denomination."
I still believe that advising players to bet one coin was
irresponsible and misleading (which, by the way, is what
the casinos want). That is why I started this thread by
saying that I've lost a little respect for LVA and its QOD.
