Paytables and Coin Denominations

#1

Since casinos frequently set different paytables for different denomination of play, I have a
question. Which of the following strategies makes the most sense?
A. Play five coins on a 9/5 quarter JoB machine with a 98.45% paytable, or
B. Play single coin on a 9/6 dollar JoB machine with a 99.55% paytable.

Losing the royal bonus playing single coin is, of course, the downside risk. On the other
hand I would lose $1.25 each time I hit a flush on the lower paying machine.

I know the best advice is to find a casino with quarter 9/6 JoB, but I have reasons for
favoring the casino with this dilemma. Suggestions?

Well, for starters, it's best to think of the 9/6 played single coin
as a 98.37% game, since that's the shorted RF return.

That makes the choice between the two pretty much a toss up.

If I were deciding between the two, I'd opt for the $ play since the
higher flush payout would cut my expected losses between royals and I
favor plays that minimize the downside.

Others may opt for the quarter play, since that preserves the
excitement of the royal.

You would need a lot of flushes to make up for the $750 dollars you
would lose should you catch a royal. 600 to be exact. I don't know
but, it seems like an awful lot of flushes between royals

A. Play five coins on a 9/5 quarter JoB machine with a 98.45%

paytable, or

(.9845-1) x $1.25/hand x 600hands/hour = -$11.63/hour

B. Play single coin on a 9/6 dollar JoB machine with a 99.55%

paytable.

with regular strategy:
(.9955-.0136-1) x $1/hand x 600hands/hour = -$10.86/hour
with short coin strategy:
(.9837-1) x $1/hand x 600hands/hour = $-9.78/hour
short coin strategy:

2RF2H>4STi3H>3SFi>3SFdi2h
