Greetings to all...
I am asking this question to satisfy my curiosity...
I just got back from a trip to Las Vegas where I was concentrating my
play on 25c FPDW. I don't quite have the roll for dollar play yet, so
despite coming across what I perceived to be a very good opportunity
at an 8/5 BP progressive, I didn't get after it.
At Fitzgeralds, there was a bank of CICO (not TITO) $1 8/5 Bonus Poker
machines right by the front desk near the valet entrance. On Friday,
4/4, the meter read $7k, and by Saturday morning it had rolled over to
$8k. Only one machine was occupied at noon Saturday.
If flat 8/5 BP is 99.2%, could someone please tell me what the
breakeven point is, or what each additional $1000 worth of jackpot
adds to the EV for this game?
Thanks in advance...my gut tells me I passed on some serious EV here,
so please don't call me out with something like "YOU FOOL, HOW COULD
YOU WALK AWAY FROM...."
The Fitz (as they are now calling it) also had some 25c flat 8/5 BP
games where any quads will get the player a steak dinner in the
restaurant (but not Don B's steakhouse). I got one of those.
