Thread: Progressive jackpot math (slot)

  1. #1
    P = jackpot (known)
    Bt = individual bet (known)
    O = odds of hitting jackpot
    Rt = overall return of game (for conservative estimate Nevada minimum of 75%)
    Rl = reset level of jackpot (known)

    So If I am understanding to determine the return of the base game (Rb) will be Rt - (O * Rl), correct?

    If so, then we should be able to determine for certain at what point a progressive goes positive if we know O

    basically Bt * (Rb + (O * P)) needs to be > 1 so

    Bt * ((Rt - (O * Rl)) + (O * P)) > 1

    Is this correct?

    Don't forget your meter movement

    Pepe, you should take this question to Wizard of Vegas. There are plenty of people there that would be glad to help. I'm not a trained mathematician so don't understand the code language. Even if I could give an answer Singer would jump in the thread and shit on it. That's all this forum is now, since his return, a shithole troll fest.

    peepee, your calculations contain both known and unknown variables, so you will never be able to determine anything "for certain". You can do better than assuming 75% thru a little research. One of the parameters you can get spot-on is the meter movement for your formula and Axel pointed that omission out.

    In case you don't have the time to ask the Mensa geniuses on WoV, if you wait a bit you can be sure mickey's busy digging up the answers from WOO for you so he can do what he does best--cut & paste, as we speak.

    Nice gibberish, slobbie. You are by no means an expert at any form of gambling and you certainly won't put up any kind of equations because....you don't know any.
