He may be discussing the "drop". This is a term often used on table games as
a percentage remaining of the player's investment in a table game that
he/she cashes out. I have actually seen the accounting screen three times on
vp machines (Twice on IGT products and once on a Sigma product.) and the
actual differences were between 3% and 3.75%. I suspect that the players in
the markets I have seen this (Colorado and Illinois) are less savvy than
Vegas locals.

That brings up another subject. Actual hold is never near what is advertised
or mathematically figured especially when the most of the players are
playing less than perfect. I have a friend that was an accountant at a
casino I will not name. He did regular audits on all machines and he said
most were in the 60-80% range over the long term. These were all game king
VP machines that he audited. He also noted that almost all of the end
machines were in the 80% range while the others were much lower. I have
played with this guy for many years and trust his comments. It makes me
wonder sometimes how the casinos claim they dont make any money on VP.
