Part fact - Part question
Harrah's Ah Chin is in Maricopa, AZ and about 25 miles south of
Phoenix. They have just changed a bank (12 machines I think) of
previously non playable games to $1 8/5 JoB Progressives. I have
found a chart that says it the game 100% at $2166.50. Is this the
amount for a royal at one coin?. I assume this is the answer since
the max coin royal is a now a little over $10,000. I do not know what
the reset is, but could ask if anyone even cares. These machines just
became available in the last couple of days and were immediately a
little over $10,000.
Would advantage players ever get excited to playing these 97.30%
short pay progressives? Please assume the fact of limited choices at
a location. As I had previously reported to this group, they do have
a bank of six $1 99.54% 9/6 JoB non progressives at Ah Chin. I am
guessing that once the 8/5 Job is equivalent to 99.54% it still would
not be the game of choice. My reasoning is that it only gets to
99.54% on a progressive payoff of a hard to get royal flush. If this
assumption is true, at what level would a serious player ever switch
to the short pay 8/5 JoB progressive over the 9/6 non progressive JoB?
A second point of information and question is that for some time
they have had a bank of about 12 $2 DDB 97.87% available.
Acknowledging the higher denomination and that their is a much higher
variance, when would these short pay progressive machines be worth
playing over a 9/6 JoB?
Thanks,
Bob
