Do I get more slot points for playing dollar machines than quarter machines?

Dear Frank:

Simple question: Do you get more bonus and tier points playing dollar machines than quarter machines?

Thank you.

V.V.

Dear V.V.:

One would think so. If you play full coin in most one-dollar machines, you are usually putting in three dollars per spin. The 25-cent machine would see you putting in 75 cents.

Now there is a difference in payouts on these machines as the dollar machines usually pay back more than quarter machines. However, this is very low compared to how much a dollar player actually loses — almost four times more than a 25-cent player.

Given the same number of spins, the dollar player should get close to four times more in bonus and tier points.

Now, before you play in a casino you should ask this very same question of your host or of the slot manager.
