Playing one coin with reduced royals is still better than anything offered at the 25 cent level. I believe the Diamond lounge requires half Seven Stars in order to gain enterance.

Although not the main point of the post and reply, when you play FP Pick'em at less than 5 coin, it is not just the Royal that is shorted, but also the straight flush as well as fours of a kind.
Royal 5 Coin = 6,000 or 1,200 per coin; 1 Coin pays 1,000 (short pay of 200 per coin).
Straight Flush 5 coin = 1,199 or 240+- per coin; 1 Coin pays 200 (short pay of 40 per coin).
4 of a Kind 5 coin = 600 or 120 per coin; 1 coin pays 100 (short pay of 20 per coin).
I can under certain circumstances understand playing only one coin, but at an eastern US Casino, it used to amaze me that quite a few regular players (that were otherwise bright people) often used to play 3 and even 4 coin rather than 5 at this game with short pay in three categories when they played less than 5 coin.
