In 2012, you needed 100,000 base tier credits to make Seven Stars (no bonus tiers).
In 2013, you needed 50,000 base tier credits to make Seven Stars (and you would get 100,000 bonus tiers to make up for the rest, if played optimally.)
That makes 150,000 base tiers.
Each tier credit represents $10 in coin-in at VP.
That means I've put in $1.5 million in coin-in.
Divide $1.5 million by $25 per hand (since I play the $5 machines almost exclusively), and you get 60,000 hands played.
There you go. I also didn't earn all of my tier credits on VP, but I won't bother to factor that in.
