coins/line for a maximum spin=$2.

There are several other configurations. For example, you can bet 25
coins/line and now we are over $5.00 for a max spin! Sightings of $7.

As to my personal opinion, I prefer dollar slots, however I can
understand a bankroll-conscious slot player who wants to play and have
some casino fun with $20.-$50.
I did this test recently.
1) I played $50 at a 20-line penny slot activating all lines at a
cent per line=20cents/spin. Playing time=38 minutes.
2) I played $50 at the same 20-line slot playing 10cents/line—max
spin=$2.00/spin. Playing time=11 minutes. Your test may vary.
