(When I find four deuces or a royal, I know I’m right, otherwise I wonder.)

On a 5 cent machine – say, deuces – that I can find that offers 97.5%, I can play about $150 an hour. Means I should lose about $3.75 an hour.

On a 25 cent machine – same deuces – that I can find that offers 98.5%, at the same speed I can play about $750 an hour. Means I should lose about $11.25 an hour.

Looks rather straightforward that I should either not be playing at all or I should be playing the nickels. Do I figure correctly?

Don
