I've been playing 9/7 double bonus, which has a return of 99.11,
according to Frugal. I discovered dollar machines that have 10/7
double bonus (239 instead of 250 for SF and certain four of a kinds).
The expected return on these dollar machines, playing single coin, is
also 99.11. I've decide to play one dollar instead of the 5 quarters
to lower the variance. Considering only these two options, have I
missed anything or is this a logical alternative? Obviously 5 coins in
the dollar machine is best, but I'm ruling that out.

It might be that you earn slot points differently based on denomition, either
at a better or worse rate. It is possible that you might get better comps on
one machine or another for the same coin-in.
It is highly possible that some promotion, like earning drawing tickets or a
COD will require you to play max coins. If in the right state, like Nevada,
you might not get comped drinks at bartops playing one coin.
You will have to develop and learn the max ER strategy for 10/7/5-250 royal
to extract all the value.
