Gilbert, you're making this a lot more complex then it has to be.
As to definition of bankroll, there is nothing to be gained by
thinking that it means anything other than the *maximum* amount you
are willing to wager when you walk into a casino. If you walk into
any Indian casino or any Vegas casino and you've got 300 bucks in
your pocket to gamble with, that's your bankroll. That's the
traditional meaning of the word and it applies to every casino game
I've encountered in the past 40 years. If there is some "special"
definition for the word bankroll that applies to vp players, like all
the money you've got at home that you may or may not gamble with six
months from now, then the word has no meaningful definition at all.
Next, as far as which games to play and at which denominations you
should play, of course you should choose full pay if it's available.
If it isn't, look for the next best pay tables. If they all suck
then it's your decision on whether to play at all or not.
You've got an admittedly limited bankroll, so which denominations
should you play? You'll probably get the most bang for your buck on
the lower denomination machines. Remember, whether you choose
nickel, quarter or dollar machines, your results are likely to
reflect a high degree of variance because you probably won't be
playing thousands of hands. In other words, your relatively brief
playing time is more subject to deviations, even on lower variance
games. That could work to your benefit, but usually it doesn't.
Finally, no matter what you choose to do, nobody here is going
guarantee your success or cover any of your losses, so the final
decisions are yours alone.

You must be talking about las vegas.
Not in the Indian casinos.
