I'm not sure I am going to be ahead for the year. If this royal had been on a $5 or $2 game it would have made a real difference in the bottom line. But if was on a 25-cent machine. The good news is that I only had $40 of my own money in the machine. I got a hand pay which was a pain. I did not tip. I think it's ridiculous to have to tip for a "pay" that does not require any paperwork. Also, on some other machines/games if there is a payoff of $1,000 it also requires a handpay, such as a five play game winning $200 on each line.
