The answer depends on how much points are worth. Without knowing that, the problem is unsolvable.

Then is there a multiplier? A weaker game with more comps and a multiplier can leap ahead of a stronger game sometimes.
BOB If I play the mentioned games in the same casino on the same day Is not one point relative in worth ? I am confused.

If the question is “which game costs the least to earn a point?”, then I think Ralph is right that the answer is independent of point value.
The cost of a point is just the CoinIn required to earn a point times the EV of the game. So, using the original 50/25/10 stipulation for the 3 games …
the cost of earning a point with 9/6 JOB is $50 x -0.46% = 23 cents.
the cost of earning a point with 8/5 BP is $25 x -0.83% = 21 cents.
the cost of earning a point with 9/6 DDB is $10 x -1.02% = 10 cents.
So, 9/6 DDB is by far the least costly game to play if your goal is to earn a certain number of points.

If points were or becomes irrelevant than the question would be unnecessary because most know what their games long run return is supposed to be.
