"Comments please."
If you feel that a 98% (doubtful, but sure possible) slot machine is better than a 99.54% (or greater) VP machine I'm not sure what other comment would be helpful.
People play for different reasons... what's yours? Do what makes you happy, seriously, but just don't expect logic to back it up. :)

What caught my eye was signage that said something to the effect that higher bets have higher payback percentages. There are 5 buttons, allowing for 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 credit bets. The 100, 150, and 200 buttons say "higher payback" and the 250 says "highest payback." I thought it was illegal (at leaast in NV) to change the payback for different bet amounts but apparently not. I'm wondering if anyone has heard of graduating paybacks and what the range might be from lowest to highest. The IGT web site says that this game has paybacks from 85% to 98% but is that the range from the 50 credit bet to the 250 credit bet? I don't see how this machine could advertise a specific payback percentage since they don't know what the average size bet would be. BTW, the machine was "The Little Shop of Horrors" and I won $630 on a $2.50 bet, more than I've won with larger bets on VP in 2 1/2 years. It took 20 minutes for the bonus to playout. Needless to say, I'm even less inclined to play VP now.
