Cant really answer the Math involved, but I can tell you about a recent
experience I had. Found a machine at mohegan Sun that was at $46, and must
hit by $50. At 40C a pop, I went through $100 fairly quickly, and I believe
the Meter was at $47.50 when I left. I walked away from the machine fearing
investing another $100 to make $50 would be a bad gamble at that point stuck
$100 and counting.
Now, players are not dumb ( except maybe me ) ...but I'll play from now on
if I find a must-hit mini at $48, or a must-hit major at $480. I know its
rare to find anything that high...but...you can get burned by these near
jackpot machines.
best...Tom
