On the penny machines a lot of times it's just a pure multiplier so you're better off min betting. Also, the more you bet, the less valuable the progressives are since they are usually fixed as well. But in casinos there are always exceptions, usually you get a better percentage return the more you bet, but sometimes it's the same and sometimes it's even less. I guess the even less machines are designed to trap those that bet max when they hit something because normally the casino should be rewarding those that bet more, not penalizing them, but casinos are rarely run in ways that make good business sense.

The difference between an 85% return machine and a 90% return machine can be big for figuring out cutoff points.
