Usually $100 for $1
I'll only play $5 VP if I'm ahead and not add any to the machine, just switch denominations (that's why I prefer multi-denom machines with all denom being on the same RNG).

Absolutely, they can be hot or cold. Sometimes you'll hit the dead-hand zones and sometimes hit something on every hand.

$250 is fine to start and get a feel for how it's playing. Which game are you planning on playing?
