Now that 4 of a kind ($600) is a handpay, what is everyone tipping? I
have been giving $5 per pay. I have been told the handpay was
decreased as a matter of policy by the "suits" in order to give some
work to the attendants.
Also does any know if it is possible for the techs to speed up play in
one of these machines?

I feel they should be paying me at least $5 for having to wait. After
all, it defeats the purpose of awarding the SF $1199 instead of $1200.
I was upset when I had to wait tp be paid $1000 for the royal I hit at
Foxwoods .25 JWD last month. Another attendant told me basically it's
done for commercial reasons. The hand-pay draws attention to itself
that you won a jackpot and encourages others to play.
Of course the techs can speed up the play! They just don't want to.
They think they're giving too much away. But I think they're making a
mistake. The error rate would go up significantly if they set them
fast, and their return would improve by probably more than the points
that are given away or at least by the amount the points cost them.
It's still not a positive game. If you notice there, most VP players
are not like us who study strategies, practice at home, and play
conscientiously.
