It counts the money recycled to keep gambling with. This doesn't mean how much money you put in the machine physically, it means how much you gambled with. The first thing you'll look at is the Coin In. Provided you always used your players card, this is the best method for seeing how you did. To find out how you faired in 2019, you will need to gather together a Win/Loss Statement from every casino you've played at in a previous year. For those of us who gamble monthly at a minimum, the reality is that nobody makes a profit playing slot machines. Most of which probably only gambled a handful of times at most. There is probably a fraction of 1% of people who can honestly (yes gamblers, please be honest.) say they made a profit from gambling in any given year. Seeming as I do this for a living, and play A LOT, I have some inside information when it comes to gambling. If you have expendable income, then the casino is a fun place to go. I strictly promote responsible gambling with an entertainment budget. That said, I will answer the question of if I am UP or DOWN for the year.
I personally was raised never to ask questions about someone else's finances when it came to family members, let alone complete strangers, haha.
People LOVE to ask me many personal questions, especially when it comes to money.
