I'm sorry but that is palpably false.
You CAN win at VP with far less than 100% VP. You can sit down at a dollar 6-5 progressive with an $8000 meter (still way under 100%) and hit the progressive with your first 5 coins while your pal at the next machine loses $500 an hour on the Loose Deuces progressive-a positive play.
Luck CAN change this "over an extended period". Lets take 20 years- an extended period in any book. Ralph Retiree retires to LV and enjoys playing VP at his local casino once a week for 2 hours at 500 hph. Over the next 20 years he plays a million hands. All of it on dollar "negative" games like NSUD, 9/6/90 JOB, under 100% progressives. Good paying games but all negative. However luck rewards Ralph with a few more royals and a few more 4 deuces than he is "supposed" to get so ends his life as a sizable winner "over an extended period".
Conversely, Ralph could find the Valley's only $25 Loose Deuces machine, blow his $500,000 life savings in 6 months (or less) and end up at the Shade Tree shelter.
Can someone really tell Ralph "it doesn't matter if you win or lose"?
Really?
