I am happy with .10 % error rate or less. Practice makes perfect, and I practice and practice. But mistakes happen, for various reasons. Don't you usually become aware of a mistake just as you are making it or immediately afterward? I know I do. And I am also quite aware when I am playing very well too, when I'm wide awake and feeling sharp. I know when I just played a perfect session.

From my experience, if any of them were not making money they'd disappear in a heartbeat, and players like Frank and his team and others like them would never be allowed to sit at them. Lowering paytables and meters is simply a way to up profit margin to a more acceptable level.

They went from feast to famine. Their cashback is already .30, so offering 2X and 3X is a little much. I never see South Point offering more than 2X, which is wise and satisfactory. And then bounceback too? No wonder M didn't make anything on these machines.
But now they've taken an unnecessary step in the other direction. They went from 8-5 DDB to 6-5 DDB on one game. Why would they not go to 7-5 DDB? They eliminated multipliers. And now they reduce meter rise? That is a bad move in my opinion. The one thing that should have remained intact was the meter rise. That was essentially the whole point of the experiment. Meter rise!
