But the reality is that if he'd stopped and thrown a Jackson into the machine, the timing would have been different and he wouldn't have hit the RF. Depending on the machine, even if he'd had 25 left, and decided to risk it all, rather than hitting "Bet One Credit", the amount of time it took the machine to start the deal after counting 5, rather than 1 coin, could have been different. So while theoretically he "would" have had a RF at max coins, his response was correct. I'm not advocating playing less than max coins, just pointing out that time, tide and the RNG wait for no man.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is. -Yogi Berra
