I averaged 223 units returned on 9 plays where the yellow maxed out.
I've also done some cost analysis. For instance, what am I paying per green hit? When you chase the green you get your share of hits on the purple which cuts the cost of spinning for the green.
98 hits on the purple cost me 445 units. Average 4.5 units per hit. That would put the breakeven number on the machines I play at 60.
216 hits on the green cost me 1857 units. An average cost of 8.6 units per hit. If you divide the 147.5 unit return by 8.6 units it would put the breakeven number on the machines I play at 83. But the number doesn't always go to the top. Sometimes you hit early.
With the yellow 163 hits cost 1898 units. An average of 11.64 units. That would put the breakeven number on the machines I play at 106. And it doesn't always go to the top. Sometimes it hits early.
One thing I look at on a marginal yellow number is: What is the green number, purple number. If they are near reset I'll pass. But if they can develop into a play I'll sit down.
I did some work on number of spins per yellow, green, purple hit. You can hit either 1,2,3, or 4 at a time. I average moving the purple one notch every 11 spins, the green every 40 spins, the yellow every 60 spins.
If you see a yellow on 100 and the green is on 65 you can expect to take both numbers off. Which would be a return of 370 units. There is always the possibility of hitting the yellow or green early and you have to reevaluate.
I'm currently not around Regals so my analysis of the game is on hold.
