Say there is some game that costs $5 per hand, has exactly a 99% return at the start of the progressive, and the meter rises by 1% (so +$0.05 per hand). What could we say about the EV of this machine over the long term due to the meter speed?
On average, the progressive will hit in 1 cycle, so, in your example,
payback would average 100%. But that's normally irrelevant. Your
main concern, normally, should be what value your next hand will have,
independently of meter movement.
