Let's look at some numbers. MaxEV has an average royal cycle of 43,456 and an average return of 0.997 making the average cost to hit a royal about 130 bets. Max-non-royals has an average royal cycle of 66,598 and an average return of 0.992 making the average cost to hit a royal about 533 bets. But Max-non-royals gives you an extra 23,142 hands to make up that deficit, meaning 403/23142 = 1.7% is the crossover. That could be one extra mailer or one extra day on a big multiplier, or at a tight casino maybe two extra mailers and two extra days on a double multiplier plus a bonus gift card day plus a drawing.
You have to keep in mind that getting backed off excludes you from future casino promotions, the actual video poker game itself is relatively meaningless, it's just a cost of getting into the promotions.
