  Ok, there's this bank of machines at my local Indian casino called Outback  
  Jack. They're made by Aristocrat. I always eyeball them when I pass by on 
  my  way toward the video poker. So apparently these are one of those "mystery 
   progressives" that we were talking about on this board a few weeks ago and 
  I  needed someone to explain to me what it meant. Apparently "mystery  
  progressive" means "when the machine feels darn good and ready like giving it  
  to you". It has a maxi jackpot and a mini jackpot, and they are not  
  must-hit-by or dependent on any symbols lining up.
  
  It's one of those  20-line things, with bonus screens, and all kinds of 
  confusing crap. Typically  the maxi is in the $900-$1100 range, but the mini 
  starts at $10 (I think) and  are usually in the $30-$40 range. However, once 
  in awhile I see the minis at  $120, $140, whatever.
  
  So, given that the mini starts at $10, does  anyone think a mini of say 
  $140 might make it positive EV?
  
  Looking for  others' opinions. Thanks.
  
  a.) Most definitely positive
  
  b.) Maybe  not, even though it is 14X re-set
  
  c.) Probably still not  positive
  
  d.) Impossible to know
