what do these numbers mean ? lets compare the two 95% DW to a 97% TDB game. who will play more hands and last longer in a casino short term? and who will have the best of it over all? today i switched from 97.35 BP and my 775 credit roll lasted a mere 1hr and 30min and i remember i played 96.89 BP and my 400 credit roll lasted 1hr and 10minutes. it is to say i did get a fair share of 4 of a kind on each machine the extra 175 credit did help but the draught on winning hands/losing hands were there
so really the human eye can not tell the difference from 96.89 from 97.35 bonus poker atleast not in a 400-725 bankroll credit line
i plan on falling back on 97DW ,losing 725 credit roll can happen either game either time frame but hardly any sweet treat is waiting for me in BP
Understanding 95-99% games?

The human eye can only tell you the best game to play. The game percentages play out over time, not in a session.

my human eye has seen 200$ can get wiped out at any game of chance or any table game, my selective memory takes over on how many times that 200$ bankroll has been doubled and the life span it has.
granted it can be done to win 200$ without a royal flush but then it becomes a question of frequency times it has happened vs times it does not. im sure the math would stand strong after 10 x the amount or 2,000$ played through the machine. but back to the smaller scale it would be easier to win 200$ playing double double bonus over jacks or better.

It is also easier to win $200 with $5 per coin than quarters.

going in the high limit room with a 200$ bankroll and play it 1 turn would it be better to divide half and play it into two turns? would it be better to play nickle machine and shoot for the royal? a complex computer animation or simulation would give me the answer i so sorely need

Define "better." What is your goal?
It's pretty easy to tell how often you will be broke in 1 hand betting it all, or in 2 hands.
Splitting it will reduce your odds of being completely broke after just 2 hands, but you obviously won't be able to win as much either with half the bet. So we need to know what you are looking to accomplish.
The answer will probably be different if you are looking to win $50, $200 or $10,000.
Obviously in any situation you are likely to end up at zero, but the odds of that will vary depending on your goals and stopping points.
