Likewise, money spent on gambling should always limited to within you means, such that it does not affect your day to day life and long-term goals in any way. It is worth appreciating that all casinos are designed to be profitable and so over the long-term, when you play casino games, you will spend money, rather than make money.

Instead of a single line, a player can bet on up to 200 lines at a time on the video screen — up, down, sideways, diagonal — each with a chance of winning. So a person might bet 70 cents and win on 35 of the lines, getting 35 cents back. That feels like a partial win — and captivates your attention.
It's either Vegas or A.C. that has a law on that specifically stating that player equity money has to move to a Progressive that is as likely or more to hit, perhaps both jurisdictions.
The Quick Strike Quads are the ones with which I am familiar. It's really not that big of a deal, in my opinion. I would suggest that, if one is really paying attention, one might lose one to two dollars in theoretical before making the determination that the meter move is too slow to play.
I've seen some with super fast minors, $0.90/$0.01 meter move, but those have since been fixed. Maybe, 'Fixed,' isn't even the right word, but changed, anyway.
I tend to bet as small as I can stand to do anyway to reduce variance, so it wouldn't make a huge difference to me whether or not it is win based as long as the Line Pays are the same and there is no verbiage on the Rule screen stating that Free Games become more likely with a greater bet, or anything like that.
Absolutely, they just seem to have gotten rid of most of the G+ must-hits in this area. I still see many of the same games, but most of them don't have a progressive. I think there are still a few at one casino close to me, but they really don't get much play at all.
The hold percentages don't really concern me because I tend to make really conservative assumptions about the base return percentage, anyway, so the only thing knowing the specific hold percentages would do for me is get me on a few more borderline plays than I would normally do...with very low $$$/hour value.
That would be more interesting to figure out how to account for, any guidance on the Rule screen? If not, probably take a lot of straight up watching others play.

RE: meter only moves on wins --Yes, if it moves a penny per $4 won with an 80% base return then it theoretically increases at a rate of $0.01/$5.00, or 0.2%. I've never played one of these puppies, but a big down side and potentially big upside is since the meter moves with your wins, it can either climb really fast if you're winning or really slowly if you're losing. So if your actual return is 120%, then every $100 coin in is pushing it up $0.24. But if your actual return is 40%, then $100 coin in is pushing it up only $0.08. So if you're running good on the machine, you'll be playing less and hit the jackpot quicker....so you win lots on the machine straight up plus the jackpot. If you're running bad, then you're losing on the machine straight up AND are forced to play even longer due to the slower meter.

For smaller penny plays, the difference between Harrahs 85% 1c and most Indian casinos 88-89% 1c is significant.
...but the major difference is at a casino where most 1c are 93%.
If you play 5K progressives (85-96%) and 10K progressives (89-97%), the hold percentages become very important.
I don't play 25K/50K/100K progressives, but every 1% is a lot of money.

My point is that if I am going to jump in at all, my assumptions are such that I am almost definitely at an advantage. Essentially, I basically always assume I'm getting 80% on the base game.

Actually if the machine display bigger jackpot than the other machine is because more player used that machine compare to others.
I think that is one reason casinos engage in a slot shuffle as machines are moved around the floor to accommodate the whims of players and the ebb and flow of the various crowds. If one machine has a high jackpot indicating high use, the casino is likely to move an identical or similar machine next to it so as make use of the high traffic spot. If physically separated the two machines still function independently despite someone staring at them and wondering why they show different values.Mission146
What do you mean as likely or MORE to hit? Can you show me where it says that?
I might have misunderstood, but I was basing it on 5.110 on Page 13 here:

Quote:
5. A licensee shall not reduce the amount of a progressive payoff schedule or otherwise
eliminate a progressive payoff schedule unless:
(a) A player wins the progressive payoff schedule;
(b) The licensee adjusts the progressive payoff schedule to correct a malfunction or to prevent
the display of an amount greater than a limit imposed pursuant to subsection 4, and the licensee
documents the adjustment and the reasons for it;
(c) The licensee distributes the entire incremental amount to another single progressive payoff
schedule on similar game(s) or machine(s) at the licensee’s establishment and:
(1) The licensee documents the distribution;
(2) Any game or slot machine offering the payoff schedule to which the licensee distributes the
incremental amount does not require that more money be played on a single play to win the
payoff schedule than the game or slot machine from which the incremental amount is distributed
unless the incremental amount distributed is increased in proportion to the increase in the amount
of the wager required to win the payoff schedule;

Between the two parts that I put in bold, that's what I gather. It says it has to be a similar game or machine and that not more money (per play) can be required to be played to hit the Progressive. Granted, there may be some room for interpretation there, but I would suggest by, 'Similar games or machines,' you couldn't go from having the Progressive amount be 1 in 10,000 to hit to 1 in 1,000,000 or something like that.
The next line also seems to indicate to me that it has to be the same payoff schedule, if from a slot:
(3) If from a slot machine, any slot machine offering the payoff schedule to which the
incremental amount is distributed complies with the minimum theoretical payout requirement of
Regulation 14.040(1); and
incremental amount is distributed complies with the minimum theoretical payout requirement of
Regulation 14.040(1); and
I could be reading it wrong, though, it might just be saying that it can go to literally any other slot machine with a return of 75+%, but that's not how I take it. It says, 'The payoff schedule,' which, to me, means the same payoff schedule as the machine it is being moved from.
Also, keep in mind, with special permission (in writing) from the Chairman, the resolution of Progressive monies can be handled in other ways.

You never do know when you will get a progressive hit. I have had hit the progressive on Da Ja Da Li when the firecracker was far from being completely lit(It literally had just one or two lines lit up) and I have hit the progressive on Anthony and Cleopatra when it was like $10 away. I was pleasantly shocked both times.Are Gambling With Slot Machines Worth Time
