This may make sense for higher profile players, but being mostly a
quarter FPDW player, I'll have to see a lot of anti advantage player
actions before I play slots for cover.
Seems to me that would be tantamount to committing suicide so that you won't die of cancer sometime in the future.
You'd be better [not recommended though] to play the slightly less favorable VP machines and hope for the "standard deviation" to carry you through on the high end of same.

I would usually agree. But tell that to the people at Greektown booted for
playing Bonus Poker. Things are changing at some places.

Actually, Ednar...that would not have helped them. At least one of
the people that was kicked out at Greektown played slot machines
quite often at pretty high levels (I told you they were pretty
stupid).
But I have serious doubts that a little slot play would change
anything. First of all, most all VP countermeasures are done on a
global scale and are not specific countermeasures done to specific
players. And in the case of specific countermeasures, I would not
expect them to base their decision whether a player paid 0% or 2% of
his play on slots. Any more than 1-2% of negative EV slot play
(regardless of variance) would seriously erode your VP advantage.
On the other hand, Ednar, from what I've seen of your slot play, you
might be able to make a living on that alone

touche! HA HA My 75 cents of slot play a few days ago earning $625 funded
my VP play for about 6 hours.... Diamond Mine here I come.

A couple of people have mentioned to me that they believe a little
slot play mixed in with the VP may lead to better marketing offers.
I'm not sure if there is any credence to that or not. Any comments?
