My apologies, I missed the progressive Royal . (That is what Evelyn Wood will get you).
It moved the value of the flush from 125 to 150 to be the correct play over 4 to the Royal.
 
Aren't these trainers great? I also have VPW, but mostly use WinPoker easier for old guys to see the cards.

I'd take a game with 150 credit flushes. As long as the rest of the pay table remained unaltered.

Always go when 4 to the royal. They will hit occassionally and only takes one to make up for a 800 flushes.

Correct me if I'm wrong but playing a machine returning 6 for the flush, wouldn't that take 6 RF's to equal 800 flush hands? Playing a mchine that returns 7 or 8 for the flush would obviously increase the RF quota a tad but you get the general drift here.

 800 hands at 6 per coin in, wouldn't that figure out to be about 24,000? Divide that by 4,000(RF draw) and you'd get 6.

Flush paying 6
4000/6 = 666.67 (rounded up). 
4000/7 = 571.43 (rounded up).
4000/8 = 500
 
Either way, as EDC says, you get the drift.  When dealt 4 to the royal, it's worth the risk for me.  Guess depends on your risk level.

 FL hand at 6 for 1. 30 each time you get a Flush. 800 x 30 = 24K RF hand paying 4,000 x 6 = 24K With 1 in 42K odds for drawing to the RF vs. a pat flush hand? Although most gamblers will hold for the RF, one needs to see if theres a gap sequence for the 4RF hand, if theres a progressive involved with the hand also. Overall ER/EV will drop playing for the RF vs. the pat flush.
