Advantage slots probably have the lowest bankroll requirements. You took a bit of a leap of faith into FPDW, though 1% cashback would sure take a lot of sting out of waiting for that first set of deuces. Seems like there must have been something that could have bridged the gap however. Today of course there are penny and nickel vp which allows you a more optimal way to get to quarters and beyond. Also the casinos love to push out no play required promotions and tournaments, those would be ideal risk free ways to build a bankroll. It's almost like the casinos want to give you a bankroll to get started, I guess they figure they can win it all back plus interest.

When I hit my first royal the money went into my bankroll and I didn't change my routine. I continued to play the advantage slots most days of the week and only played video poker on Thursday and Fridays, allocating just so much money to it. Between the advantage slots and the royals it didn't take me long to gain a swing resistent bankroll.

I would only play with an advantage. When the first royal comes off I will add the money to what bankroll I have. But I won't change the routine. I'll continue to allocate so much money per paycheck to video poker. Every time I hit a royal it goes into my bankroll. The routine will remain the same until I have a swing resistent bankroll. Trust me, if you do it like this it won't take you long to get there.
