In addition to Howards response, knowing the speed of the meters is
gonna tell you whether you are going to get any plays or not. If
the meters are so slow that the hand has to miss like 3 cycles to
put it on a play then you are not gonna get very many plays. If
all
three meters run at the same speed then the small quad meter is the
key meter as it has the highest hit frequency.
I believe they are all 0.5% meters so average return will approach
99.3% (Bad players tend to overplay the royal. Some will even hold
stiff 2, 3 or 4. Also alot of bad players will hold A+high unsuited
instead of A. This game is over 99% most of the time but not very
often over 100%. The bad news on games of this type as is pointed out
in Mickey's response is that when the small quad meter resets, the
game may often revert to unplayable and if all eight machines are in
play this will be on average once every 25 minutes or so. (Yes,
experts will play faster but most of the players are patzers.)
