NOTI: There is some total amount that will be a problem, it's the player's job to figure out what that amount is and to avoid it, just like on table games. Sometimes the casino lets you know when they're getting uncomfortable with your action, other times you find out from the marketing department when your mailer amount suddenly drops or is absent.
This is true. But even if you know what that number, it's easy to surpass it "all at once." Video Poker is not a game where you increase, increase, increase your score gradually so you can get very close to the limit and then stop. You generally lose, lose, lose and then hit a big jackpot out of the blue (or maybe you leave before that big jackpot comes today).

AFTER you hit the jackpot, it's easy to say, "Yup. That was too much. I should have quit before this happened." But BEFORE the jackpot, it's 40,000-to-1 against hitting it on the next hand. You never know when it's coming.
There are always those who say after-the-fact that they KNEW the royal was coming today. The fact is, they didn't know. If they DID know, how come they didn't switch to a $100 machine just before the royal was due to hit? I'm certainly not suggesting NOTI makes comments like these --- but I am suggesting that not even the experts know when those jackpots are coming.
And it's hard to avoid something that comes out of the blue.
