I think that any misunderstanding may arrive based on our respective
definitions of positive machines.
10/7 at 100.17 is positive, BUT I would never play it without a strong
promotion and or slot club to bring it over 101% (and preferable
higher)
Ellis Island gives me 3% in cashback We play there ONLY on 5x point
days. The game is 99.7 + 0.5 for a total of 100.2%
If you are willing to play at a razor thin wedge, then go for it.
But, I have learned that you need much, much more.
On $ machines, 101.5% is my MINIMUM. 25c, at least 101%
Dancer played 9/6 jacks at MGM and he figured in the slot club and the
airline tickets. To each his own. I have been told that many "High
Rollers" come to town and stay in 2-3 Hotels and end up with airfare
reimbursed from each. They also sell comps, fight tickets, etc.
Obviously they are on VERY positive machines that you and I would call
negative. ie NSUD, 9/6 Jacks, etc.

Elliott,
i respectfully disagree with your statement that dancer "has always
proposed that you should not play negative machines." among numerous
examples in his writings over the years, he writes about advantage
plays on 9/6 job (99.54%). given your experience and success with
vp, i'm surprised you had this understanding of dancer. dancer also
writes often about nsud (99.73%). haven't you turned the nsud at
ellis island into an advantage play? vp players playing 9/6 job,
nsud, triple deuces (99.93%) or pickem (99.95%) with perfect strategy
and the right slot clubs have many positive plays available to them.
dancer writes about these "negative" games regularly. one of his vp
reports from the 90's was 9/6 job. i can give more examples if you
would like. just look at his list of casinogaming columns. in
closing, i value your posts in general but i disagree with this one.

Deuces Wild are NOT positive. He has always proposed that you
should not play negative machines, yet, these are not positive.
