Wow! Thanks, Harry. Thanks, Robert. I'm going to practice the math until I get it down pat. I think it will be awhile before I get a play on this game. It's still new and the meters are still low. It's an individual progressive but on lots of machines. It looks like I'll have to find one where the 7 of 8 has missed about 5.5 cycles to put it on a playable number. Even then it wouldn't be anything to write home about. The bet is just 50 cents. But I can crank out about 1500 games per hour.
A miss of 5.5 cycles would put 7 of 8 paying a little more than the solid 8, about $420. It would be about a 4.5% edge at that point--with the meter thrown in. About a $35 an hour play. With the number of machines involved I think eventually I'm going to find a few plays at this game.
Thanks again. Take care.
