I am wondering about machines with multiple progressive jackpots, say three, five or ten handed machines with a separate jackpot for each hand. At a single hand machine, the strategy is obvious, sit down when the jackpot is high and play until it hits. In addition, it's clear how meter rise affects the expected return, especially if you can take the entire bank.
Does anyone have any thoughts on strategies for multi hand progressives. You still sit down when the progressive is high but what is the new stopping rule? How does meter rise affect the game return?
If you saw a machine where the meter rise was greater than the house edge on the base jackpot, how would that change the optimal strategy? For example, would the optimal strategy ever be play until a dealt royal?
