I've been playing these for a few years now in California, Mickey. Of course, I didn't do the math work that you did, but just experimented a little bit and then went by "feel". I have found several variations of meter rise on the mini jackpot. I like to have 1%, but I have also found .8%, .6%, and even .5%. On the other end, I've found like 1.2% or 1.3%. In my mind, my goal has been to essentially break even, including my cashback and mailers, and show some slot action. Many that I play are $10-$20, and I come in at just under $17, and I won't play if it is under .8% meter rise on the mini.
I remember one good night there were these new machines that are $100-$200, and I found one at $192, with a 1.2% meter. I popped it on the third pull. Bingo, Merry Christmas.
Another two memorable plays were almost exactly the same situation, but at two different casinos. I walked up to the bank in each case, and the mini at an open seat was barely under $48 on a 25-50 game. Surprisingly, on both sides of this open seat was a player, banging away for a $25 or $26 mini. I almost felt guilty, sat down at the open seat between the other two players, and snapped off $48 almost immediately. Incredible. God bless their little clueless ploppy souls.
