In a short period of time, sure. After many trials, no!
Define short term and long term. Another cloud of mystery, isn't it. But you are seeing my point.

The margin between 99% and 101% is small.

Now, what is the margin of error you are playing with jbjb?

If there weren't a margin of error you'd never lose, would you? What is mickeycrimm's margin of error when he has a losing day? What is kewlj's margin of error when he loses $29,000 in a week?

Casinos have a margin of error also but it's spread over 2,000 games 24/7/365.
I have results recorded for $2,704,156 coin in on a 99.11% return game. Actual loss on game is $29,240 (not including freeplay, promo stuff, etc.). I’d consider that the “long term”. No way in hell is someone going to have a +29k run on 25c denom on that game to get to even or ahead.

Don’t know how many royals were hit, but expected number is 54 royals. If the Royal was worth $2k instead of $1k, then that’d make it about a 101.11% game (without changing strategy). Adding $54k to -$29k is +$25k. At that point, it’d be pretty tough to ever end up in the negative.


But hey, that’s just simple math. Don’t let that get in your way, Alan.
