Playing 1 quarter vs 5 nickels
The charts below show the cost difference between playing 1-quarter in a 25c 9/6 JB machine and playing 5-nickels in a 5c 8/5 JB machine. The reason for this chart is that many people wish to play only 25c per game. Almost everyone has been told "Always play max coins". The chart below shows that sometimes you can save money playing "Short-coin".
