Here is something to remember....
For a typical game (single line) the RF cycle is 40-50K hands. For simplicity
I am going to assume a 40K cycle. For such a game, the coin in per cycle
will be 200,000 coins. Lets call it a dollar game, once again for simple numbers.
The RF is 4000 coins, so the percentage of return tied up in it is exactly 2%
For a break even game, the "bleed" between royals is 2%
Now lets look at a 100 play penny game with the same payback....
Now the DEALT RF cycle is around 650,000 hands, which is about
$3,250,000 coin in if betting $5 a hand. As before, the RF is worth 4,000
dollars. But now something very different is going on....
Since the game is break even, we can now know the "bleed" between
dealt royals. It is, as above, the RF payout divided by the coin in per
dealt royal. That value comes to .00123.
In other words, you only bleed a bit over a tenth of a percent between dealt
royals.
What follows is that your assumption about playing far below optimal until
the rare dealt RF is quite wrong. If the machine were to offer a ZERO
payout for a dealt RF, the ER would only fall by 0.123%
