I would bring 300.00. my own calculations are 60 spins @ 5.00 on one machine. By the way I asked Bob Dancer almost the same Question and he told me none.

JOB is a negative expectation game. I'm sure that's why Dancer answered "none".

Do you know how many hands/hour you play on average? In addition, I assume you mean 9/6 JOB as the game payback plays an important part of the session expectation. I always assume 9/6 JOB plays at around 97% on average in between royals. If you play 600 hands/hour this would be 3% of $3000 for a $90/hour loss. However, I've experience some sessions with a payback 3 times worse. Therefore, I would suggest a bankroll of around $1000 if you want to have a high probability of lasting 4 hours even with very poor luck.

So, far this year I've averaged over 100% at my JOB plays so hopefully you will experience something similar and comeback with much more.
