If we look at a marginal play point for me, such as $490, 1000 meter moves is $4,000 coin in and an expected loss of $480 to lock up $500.and I still wouldn't play that at $490. At a 12% hold on the base game, that is an expected loss of $720 before locking up the $500.so I wouldn't play that.
Assuming a meter move of a penny per $4.00 on the major, I'm looking at 1500 meter moves * $4 = $6,000 coin in. Now, $485 major is playable under any conditions on the Wizard's chart, but I'd never play that.Īssuming a 12% hold, I usually like to look at how much coin-in until I lock that bad boy up (and even then I've gotten burned).
I can tell you guys what I would use it on, and I'm assuming you can play the Free Play on VP:īasically, I'd look at some of the must-hit Progressives and kind of use it to assuage a loss a bit if I lose going for one in positive territory.Īre based on amount won and not coin-in, though the ones I have seen are coin-in, and generally, $4.00 coin-in moves the meter a penny.
