I glad this topic came up today.
I went to Mohegan Sun today for a practice session. I'm flying out to
Las Vegas in two weeks. I played the one dollar 9/6JoB machines, one
dollar a hand.
After an hour and a half, I was down only 15 dollars and decided to
play five coins a hand - I was down an addition 50 dollars very
quickly. I knew that I didn't have the bankroll to chase the bonus.
There are no 25 cent 9/6 machines at the reservation. If there were
any I would be playing 5 coins on them - I can't wait for Vegas. I
switched back to $1 per hand. I played this way, last week, for 4
hours and broke even.
Just before switching back to $1 per hand, I remember thinking the
calculated amount for your bankroll (before hitting a royal) at $5 per
hand was something like $30k. I just looked it up in the "Frugal
Gambler." It says $12,000 (pg 75). Even this is too much of a
bankroll for me - right now.
Even though I wasn't playing for the bonus, I was earning players club
points at a faster rate than playing a 25 cent machine (twice as
fast). The free buffets, drinks and a free birthday cake ($25) are
keeping my bottom line in my favor.
ok blah blah blah
It was todays practice session that has me thinking about that bonus
for playing the five coins. There has to be a royal flush coming some
day and to finally hit it and not be playing for the bonus is silly
and could sour the moment.
