Which Game Would you Play?

Which of these 2 games would you play?

                    Game 1 Game 2
Player Advantage 0.2% 0.4%
Return/Hour $40 $40
$ Played/hour $20,000 $10,000
SD/hour $3,000 $3,500

So, given the same return, would you rather play a game with a bigger
player advantage per hand or a game with a lower variance and more cash
through the machine?

Make sure to check N0 and the optimum Kelly fraction, these edges look
way too low for reasonable results. Also, there's a good possibility
that you can't play Dancer level computer perfect play which means
your error rate can easily wipe out these tiny edges.
