Example: $1 Coin in = 1 point. That's simple enough. My question is that coins "only" into the machine? If I put a dollar in and play for 30 minutes (I know this is not likely) does each time I play a credit count as a coin in? If I want to earn 1000 points do I have to physically put $1000 into the machine?  What if I put $1000 in and play a few hands, then cash out, do I get credit for $1000 points? If I don't cash out and play out the $1000 do I get credit for only the $1000 and not the credits I won and played them out also? Thanks

If you play 100 plays at $1 each, your "coin in" is $100, regardless of how many bills you actually put in the machine.  If each play is for the same amount, just multiply the hands played by the amount per hand.

So---I put $20 into a $.25 VP machine ($1 coin in  = 1 point) and play for 1 hour and earn x points before I exhaust/lose the $20. Then I put in another $20 @ $.25 and play for 2 hours before I exhaust/lose the $20---I should earn (approximatey) twice the points for the 2 hour session as I did for the 1 hour session--correct?

It's not really how LONG you play, Mary, but how many bets that you make. Let's say that you play 5 hands per minute. At that rate, your first session would be 300 hands (5 X 60 min). If you played at the same rate, 5 hands per minute, in your 2nd session, then you would have played 600 hands (5 X 120 min). If your betting amount was the same in both sessions, then yes, you should have received twice the BASE points on your Players Card in the 2nd session.
