I was hoping someone had figured that out. By my estimation
(scientific wild a**ed guess), one gets 140 70%, 180 roughly 20%, 250
8%, and 500 maybe 1.995%, with that 2500 at .005%.
I used your numbers and came up with the following.... The nickel version of > treasure chest would return %97.99. The quarter version would be around > %99.2 the same as regular single bonus vp.
Close enough. The more common payoffs are fairly accurate, at least
for nickel machines. 500 and 2500 are not so accurate (I have never
gotten a 2500).
