Paytables and Coin Denominations

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 ... 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?

Need more information on why you favor this casino, such as the
value of all extras and whether you need to play X amount of coin in,
X amount of time or some other requirement.

Make some assumptions, then go with the solution that will give the
highest EV. Might be playing one coin of the quarter 9/5, very slowly.

The casino chain we use regularly has been uncommonly generous in upgrading=
our
accommodations, sometimes providing us with spectacular rooms. In my opinio=
n, they
have earned our play. That being said, I want to determine how to play the =
machines they
offer to give me my best chance of winning. I have two contradictory goals =
– to deal fairly
with the casino and to win as much or lose at little as possible.

It looks as if Sean (JOB Question: $1.00 9/6 vs. $0.25 8/5 (Ballys / Paris)=
thread) has the
same concerns.
