Payoff? He tells everyone the machines in question won’t payoff until right before the top.

Your hatred of the effort Mick and others put in makes no sense. It’s a job like many others. And some find ways to be the best at their job. It’s takes hard work, intellect and common sense, things you just can’t teach.
I can't disagree with how people who find and play these machines can probably make a profit. But exactly how often can these "ready to pay off" machines be found? And how would anyone know whether the last 50c of meter movement isn't going to require 10,000 credits of play to hit or not--esp. In Indian casinos? Didn't I read in this thread that the movement is not linear?

What's the rule in Nevada on these progressives? Are they required to move the meters at the same rate throughout? If so, where are these machines and I'll start monitoring them and jump into the seats before anyone else gets there.
The meters run at the same constant speed.

Mystery Progressives are in practically every casino in the country so you won't have far to look. That also means you can't be everywhere and get every play. Now, it seems you have come around to believing that machine AP is possible. I've given a pretty good clinic in this thread and the mystery progressive thread. But you will have to learn to deal with a myriad of different mystery progressives with different meter speeds and playable numbers. What's your game plan to clock meters and calculate playable numbers?
Didn't Dan say the last portion of his meter ran slower than when he sat down? Or are there different types of progressive machines?

Regardless of how well you maintain your car, you should never trust that one with that many miles on it will not give you problems. However, I see the point now. No one depends on you, so if you get stuck for a few days, no big deal.
