No disagreement that some people understand the strategy well enough to play "normal" KBJW efficiently. I've looked at it, and that game has some complex change requirements with a reduced payroll--let alone a constantly changing royal amount.
It's one thing to study it thoroughly and then play it for however long accurately. But these machines were put in so that the other games also creep up above and beyond 100% as people chase the KBJW royal. Suddenly as it's hit, they're now faced with changing games and strategies. While there may be those who say they can do it proficiently, I do not believe that is the case. I have all I can handle keeping optimal play in my head with 4000 credit royals for the 4 or 5 games that I play. It just doesn't seem possible or probable with 8, especially with those reduced paytables and changing royals.
