Does anyone know the Megabucks odds?
The odds of winning Megabucks are 1 in 49,836,032 according to the Las Vegas
Sun, and the odds of winning the State Lotto are 1 in 47,784,352. The prizes
and the odds are almost the same. So what's the difference?
Well, there are two differences. The first is that the odds of hitting a
smaller jackpot with a slot machine are much, much better. Slot machines are
far more generous in giving small and medium sized wins. You're less likely
to win anything with the Lotto, and if you do you'll probably win only $5.
A progressive slot machine generally returns around 90% of all the money
ever played, while the lotto returns only around 52%. The lotto has the
worst pay table of any game on the planet.
On the other hand, even though we're less likely to win anything with the
lotto than with a slot machine, the lotto actually gives you better odds of
winning the jackpot for the amount of money you spend. A shot at Megabucks
requires $3 while a Lotto ticket is only a dollar. For the price of a shot
at Megabucks you could buy three Lotto tickets. And buying three lottery
tickets increases your chances of winning to 1 in 15,928,118.
So which is the better bet for $3? It's a trade off: If your goal is to have
the best shot at winning the jackpot, then your chances of winning with
three $1 Lotto tickets are almost three times better than winning with one
$3 spin on Megabucks. But if you're hoping to win anything and have at least
a small win, then a spin at Megabucks is the better bet.

Can someone tell me the location of the $.25 PKM at Mohegan Sun. When I checked vpFREE2, it provides the location of other available games but not these. (I did see that the games were downgraded to the shorter pay version, but I like the game and may play it briefly when we stop there this coming week.) Thanks in advance.

They are in the same location as the dollar games. In the Earth casino where the old poker room used to be. Walk in and you will see some stairs go up and straight to the right the .25 games are. The .25 games are now short pay, but the dollars are still full pay.
There are $.25 PKM machines in the old poker room where the full pay $1 machines are located. If you don't know where that is, I left a trail of dollars leading right there this weekend. Seriously, walk through the main row of shops (past Yankee Candle near the end, on your right. When you reach the casino, turn left, and walk to the first room on your left. Walk through all the slots, and you'll see another room up a few steps to your right. With the exception of a few slots along the walls, every machine in the room is VP of one sort or another.
If the $.25 machines are all taken, there are some multi-denom, multi-games slanttops off to the left of the stairs, as you go up. There are $1 & $.20 denoms of PKM available, shorter paytables than the FP ones.
