Maybe this example will help.
A single line $5 denomination machine at $25 per hand has a lower variance than
a 10 play $5 denomination machine for sure.
But if you compare that single line game to a 10 play 50 cent denomination machine
at the same $25 per hand the variance will be much much smaller.

A.P.

Hi there, I have a question about multi-play vs single play regarding variance.
The Wizard of Odds site says that the multi-play (3 play, 10 play, 100 play) machines have a higher variance than single play machines here on this link:

If this is true, then wouldn't it be better to play a single play machine over a multi play if your goal was to earn points (i.e. play a $5 single line vs a $1 five play)?
Please help me understand.
I am a low level Harrahs diamond player and play for fun but I also like my dollar to go as far as it can. They have a deal where you get 5000 bonus tier credits when you earn 2500 tier in a day, with this you can earn diamond level in two days of 2500 points per day. I did it on a $5 9/5 JOB machine in Shreveport but would like to know if it would have been better to play a $1 five play machine (same $ bet per hand).
Thanks for any advise.
