The only way to break the 2000 hands/hour mark is by playing two machines. I think I remember finding a single machine that was fast enough to get over 1600 hands/hour once but normally machines just aren't fast enough to get much more than 1000 - 1200 on a single machine. Maybe some of the newer ones are now, but honestly I don't really bother to calculate my hands per hour very much anymore.
If you really want to get more hands per hour on a single machine, the single best thing to do is keep your fingers on all five hold buttons and hit all your holds simultaneously instead of sequentially. If you can do that you will see a significant immediate increase. It'll take a little getting used to making your fingers work in concert but it's not too hard. If your hands are big enough, and you can keep fingers on all the hold buttons AND have your pinky on the deal/draw you'll get even more hands out because you aren't wasting your time moving your whole hand over. Unfortunately my hands aren't big enough to do this comfortably enough to put in the lengthy shifts I work, but I would assume it could give you an extra 20% boost or so. I'm not sure if the touch screen can respond to multiple holds simultaneously, but I would guess you'll have to switch to buttons to get numbers like this. It might put you out of your comfort zone momentarily but as long as you aren't making mistakes playing this way, it's considerably more money in your pocket and worth trying.
