My SPS starting point already is $1 and it is a 6-level effort ending at the highest denomination of vp available: $100. And even if there were a $50 denomination available--and there is in limited locations--a 7-level or even a 6-level starting at $2, would not be quite as successful because SPS requires there be a final step-up ratio of 4:1.
I believe the next issue is why not play multi-play games? I answered that I have a five-play strategy that I've used about 8 times. But it is not what I would recommend because its session bankroll requires 2000 credits each at 25c/$1/$5/& $25 ($62,500), and there is no BP involved. It's all played on the advanced games, which for me is SDBP & TBP+. The good news is the overall minimum session win goal: $500, but I think in my 8 or so sessions of undefeated play, my avg. win was around $4000.
Now you ask, why is any multi-play game different than any other? Technically they aren't, as you so astutely identified. It's how the play is approached that makes five-play the only intelligent choice. What bankroll is required vs. the potential return? How often good deals come is a very important consideration, because good deals are the end-all in multi-play games. Will the bankroll be depleted too soon, thereby eliminating good deal opportunities? Are there enough draws in triple-play to justify using it in any for-profit strategy? No is the answer. I hope you're beginning to understand. Otherwise, I'll see if Wolfy Blitzer is available for clarity.
