I'll agree with that. I do believe, however that a 9/5 ddb progressive would probably show a theo that is higher for the house than a 9/6 ddb non progressive. I also believe that playing the 9/5 ddb progressive would not flag anyone as a threat to a casino, because even at the level that the game was hit, at that point the game was still only a 99% return. The original poster could consider converting his play to slots, it's possible that Boyd would forgive a slot player from winning on occasion.

Well, the current meter isn't factored in determining the theoretical or a progressive, but it's my experience to a greater or lesser extent both the base return and the meter advance rate (as a % of coin-in) both factor.
Still, I'm not saying that a casino sets theo differently for a progressive than for standard game -- in most cases, the casino reviews their overall hold and sets theo accordingly.
As such, progressives tend to have thinner theo's than their non-progressive counterparts. There are no fast and hard rules about this that are universally true, but I suggest this is generally true.

Generally speaking progressives don't cut the theoretical. Most casinos use the base return for the theoretical. It's your actual that is your problem.

Thanks all for your replies--to clarify, it was the 9 5 DDB progressive bank by the theatre (right next to the vacant business centre). (To Jean, I neglected to mention that of course I had my Video Poker Scout guide with me--do believe the $1500 progressive made it a somewhat positive play, which in hindsight, surely would have cut the theoretical).
And the cutback still meant I could get me my free rooms, but the point of the O.P. was that given the amount of play I put through, I had thought that offers would have improved, if anything.
