Why would slots ever be a better choice than 99%-type VP to earn tier credits?

Slots have a very bad return.. something like 90-92%. I can't see where playing slots for tier credits would ever be a good idea, aside from a jackpot situation which temporarily makes the machine +EV or close to it.
$10 = 1 Tier VP
$5 = 1 Tier Slots

Not sure how that adds up with the math.....
I forgot about the difference in TC accrual for coin-in.
I suggested these slots because
1) she was looking for other ideas for games other than VP to accrue TC
2) the kinds I suggested can work well for that
3) these can also be handy for promotions that exclude VP, which is how I figured what I knew and shared out.
There is always luck involved, moreso that meeting the lifetime EV stat of VP, but by risking a minimum amount these would be a useful alternative for limited play to vary things from VP.
There is one such promotion, I mean one that pkspins mentioned at 3) above at Harrah's Ak-Chin where they award you a 2-5X Tier multiplier on July 12th. Unfortunately, VP is excluded, so one must play slots or keno instead.
