Very true. That is why I chose an average VP hold vs a good, low slot hold. You can find a decent VP and know what you face or you can pick a random slot machine which can be much much worse.
Near best case, really good slot vs. decent VP comes close to a wash but still VP adv@ntage. If you don’t get a good slot machine, the VP advantage can become quite large. Because of this diff is just one more reason I prefer VP at 2x coin in per TC over slots. But at 5x or were I gonna be drinking and button bashing, prolly do slots.
Now pre COVID know a casino that had a bank of machines, May have been quick picks but not sure, labeled and advertised as 99% return or maybe 98.5%. They were a high variance machine but on average, such a machine would have a lower expected cost.
