At .25 video poker you are putting in 1.25 per hand (you'd better not NOT be playing max coin in!) you can play about 10 hands a minute ...600 hands an hour
...at $1.25 per hand that is about $750 per hour through the machine. If they have a 2% advantage (you'd better not NOT be playing a less than full pay
machine!) - you have to figure you're making mistakes (have you played a computer simulator that tracks your errors?)...anyways, that's about $15 per
hour that they keep. If you play dollar vp they love you - they keep about $60 per hour and you're running about$3000 through the machine every hour.

Comps are usually based on 40% of your expected loss...think of that as average loss...they don't care if you get 5 royals today...the longer you play the closer your results will come to the 'expected value'They'll comp about 40% of that expected loss back to you.
