Need to make a choice

#1

Which would you choose if you had to decide between these two
game choices?
    Either 2 hand 9/5 $.10 JoB with 5 coins ($1 total per deal), or
$1 9/6 full pay, but single coin play. Please limit comments to only
these two options. I am sure many would prefer neither, but I would
appreciate any option between just these two choices.
    There are two requirements: One must play at least $750 coin in
and to play for at least 2 hours. The 2 hand $.10 play is part of a
10 play option machine. Obviously, if necessary, the number of hands
could be increased to meet the $750 requirement. Also, one could
change from 1 coin to 5 coins if necessary. A goal is to play just a
little more than two hours while meeting the $750 coin in requirement.

Thanks,
Bob

I would say play the $ machine at 1 coin per pop. You should have no problem getting $750 through in 2 hours. Most people that are experienced players
have no problem playing 500 hands per hour and you are only looking for 375 per hour.
The payback on the $ machine is way better than on the 10 cent machine unless you hit a Royal Flush. If your objective is to reach your 2 defined goals
as cheaply as possible then the $ machine is your best bet If you were going to be doing this for a much longer period of time then I would go the
other way. Going strictly by the numbers the long term payback is % 0.0763 better on the 10 cent machines.
I personally would play the 10 cent machines because not getting full pay on the Royal even though it will only happen one out of every 50
sessions of this length of play on average, would really tick me off.

Tough choice. If you want to minimize risk, I'd suggest the dollar
machine (less variance). If you want to play for the possibility of
hitting a RF, play 2-way full-coin on the lower pay table (about 2.6
times as many RFs on average, and they pay $400 each instead of $250).
The probability of hitting a RF is pretty low in either case, don't
rely on it.

375 deals per hours is pretty slow, so depending on your playing speed
playing on the 10c machine will allow you to start at $1 per deal, and
if you see that you're going through our budet too quickly you can
downgrade to playing 1 draw at a time (instead of 2) so that you can
maintain your speed and your duration target without going over your
coin-in target.

Don't forget to play with the proper strategy in either case.

I, of course, would choose neither because I choose Pick'Em(99.95%)
when I need to take a nap not JOB(at any level). Normally I only play
101% quarter machines including cashback.

However if forced at gunpoint to make a choice, the only way I would
play JOB(hell I don't even know the strategy, but I am 99.9 efficient
on AA), I would chose to play minimaly on the dime machine full coin
because I too do not wish to lose the Royal. It hurts.

3 quarter, 2 cent, and 1 nickle (4700) royal in the past 30 days,
