What's important is what percentage of the action is going into the buffalo meter. That means it has to be tracked:

1. Bet size
2. Number of spins
3. meter increase

This will determine the meter speed.

Oh, there's another important factor. Are the meters on one bet level independent of the meters on another bet level? In other words, does playing on one bet level push the meters on the other bet levels too? Some games are like that.

I watched someone playing Big5 at $3.75 a spin. This moved the Buffalo meter 9 cents each spin (41.7 cents moves this denoms' Buffalo a penny, so a 2.4% Buffalo $3.75 denom meter). The sample size was around 20 spins, and, given the consistency of the movement, I would say that Big5 has a coin-in meter rather than coin-out meter. The other denominations' Buffalo progressives (as well as the other four animals of the other four progressives) were not visible, so I could not track them. To obtain the other metrics (Drop and other denoms' progressives movements) I will probably have to wait until I see a play (75 cents denom with Buffalo at $43 or higher or 150 cents with a friend or "friend"[random vulture that I might be cursorily acquainted with like the LID or Barney - in all future posts that is what I mean by "friend"] present and the meter at $86 or above) although it certainly would be possible to measure the drop at a particular denom if I am close enough to look at the starting bank roll in the machine, have a large enough sample size (recording the ending bank roll at the last spin of the sample), and, ideally, the person hits a progressive.

I was able to clock someone playing the 75 cent Buffalo denom - 75 cents moves it a penny, for a 1.33% meter.

So it appears the higher bet levels have stronger meters.
