Help With Coin In Question...
Example: $1 Coin in = 1 point. That's simple enough. My question is that coins "only" into the machine? If I put a dollar in and play for 30 minutes (I know this is not likely) does each time I play a credit count as a coin in? If I want to earn 1000 points do I have to physically put $1000 into the machine? What if I put $1000 in and play a few hands, then cash out, do I get credit for $1000 points? If I don't cash out and play out the $1000 do I get credit for only the $1000 and not the credits I won and played them out also? Thanks

If you play 100 plays at $1 each, your "coin in" is $100, regardless of how many bills you actually put in the machine. If each play is for the same amount, just multiply the hands played by the amount per hand.

The only exception would be playing on "free play" or "promotion tickets". Your Players Card typically would not count those $$ as credits to your account.

So---I put $20 into a $.25 VP machine ($1 coin in = 1 point) and play for 1 hour and earn x points before I exhaust/lose the $20. Then I put in another $20 @ $.25 and play for 2 hours before I exhaust/lose the $20---I should earn (approximatey) twice the points for the 2 hour session as I did for the 1 hour session--correct?

It's not really how LONG you play, Mary, but how many bets that you make. Let's say that you play 5 hands per minute. At that rate, your first session would be 300 hands (5 X 60 min). If you played at the same rate, 5 hands per minute, in your 2nd session, then you would have played 600 hands (5 X 120 min). If your betting amount was the same in both sessions, then yes, you should have received twice the BASE points on your Players Card in the 2nd session.
