Hi Harry,
The table I posted indicated just a 9% chance of exceeding a $4000 loss on $50K coin-in at $5 JOB. I think you must have added in the 26% fig relating to a final bank of $6000-7999.
I went ahead and checked the chance of losing $2400 or more when playing the DIAD 1600 hands of $5 JOB. It's 22.5%.

(as mentioned in another post, the probability of "lose 100%" above should be "0%", not "4%".)

My gut reaction (from 15 years of play) would be that a 6% cap would cover 60% of 2000 hand sessions, with 10% loss experience hardly being an outlier (20% would be an outlier, but not unheard of).

I would suggest that a something such as a multiplay $.25 machine (or perhaps 3-play $1) machine would be much more apt, in terms of bankroll risk. These are available in several venues.

I am not the only guilty of that. I also had an idea of trying to make up that lost EV at a invitation only multiplier event.
