Heres a question. 1) Let's pretend its a single machine and only you can play it forever. Let's assume you know all the RF breaks down to the penny. Whats it worth? Some might say you just add the 1% To the base pay but, I don't think its that simple. If you are making changes to the strategy as the meter goes up you are skewing what originally gave you that 99.96. If you just play the 99.96 strategy it doesn't seem like you get the full 1% .
2) you always randomly go in at random and play an open bank can you now claim the full 1% meter move?
It would seem so, however since you are probably going to be the one adding a big chunk to the meter yourself, and have to sleep, people tend to jump on progressives as they get higher.
1. If you play it straight through non-stop with the 99.96% strategy, with a 1% meter, then you’ll just get a 100.96% return. Eventually you’ll hit the RF. Another way to think of it, imagine the 1% meter was on the 3-of-kind, certainly you’re going to be hitting that. Or another way, imagine you get paid that 1% back immediately after every hand.
Of course that’s more of “in theory”, because IRL you have to worry about competition and whatnot.
If you know and play variable strategy (IE: the strategy down to the penny), then I’m not sure. I’ll take a stab in the dark and say it’s worth MORE than 100.96% if played straight through, no competition, etc.
2. On average, it’s going to be some amount above reset. Actually, very rarely is it going to be exactly at reset. Even if it’s at $4,000.01, you gain a tad of an advantage (not saying it’s worth it) over reset. So the base game will be above 99.96%* if you go in randomly. As far as claiming that 1% in the meter move, I don’t think anyone can answer that, since it entirely depends on competition and not even something you could calculate with simple theory. You’d have to know what kind of competition exists and potentially how long between your sessions (5 minutes between a session is way different than 5 weeks between a session).
If you play it until it hits, you can claim that 1%. But if you don’t....I don’t really know how much of that 1% you could add to your EV..
