cash or credits

Post by ansoda »

When you are playing VP do you prefer to view your machine bank status in number of credits, or cash. I was just wondering if it makes a difference in the way one plays.
If you feel strongly about this I would like to know why. Just curious.

  I don't pay much attention unless I get a good hit. Credits seem to make the game last longer. Obviously, it has no effect on the game or outcome. It's always a matter of preference. Not all machines give you that option either.

Sweet C and I always change to "credits" to "cash".   It helps remind us that were playing with/for $$$$. Its harder for me to mentally register what credits look like when I put them in my wallet.

I prefer to view my machine play in dollars.  I need all my brain power to concentrate on playing!

Obviously, focusing on playing fast and accurate doesn't always give you the oportunity to look at your cash/credit status down in the corner anyways. Is this one of those idiosyncracies Frank?  Would it give the losing player another reason to complain? ie; I shoulda switched to cash/credits.
