Ive seen plenty of people make that ruin. I dont think anyone would go through $20k on a 25 cent machine unless it was a long visit though. I think Frank mentioned what the amount for a weekend trip would be for this bank. $5,625 for 72 hours of play. Still quite a party pooper for a fun weekend visit if you were to go through that much on a 25 cent progressive. Remember long term for some players is a trip or two, at a few days each, a year. Frank plays quite a bit so long term applies more to his play. There's no negative spin on anything just the reality of it. At least Frank understands my point of view even though he doesn't agree with it. You Bob see it as my way or the highway and criticize all the rec players.
