A quick guess is to add 0.1% to the base value of the game for every $45 at
quarters or $180 at dollars on the meter above the reset value. This is
slightly conservative for Jacks and slightly overstates for DB with the
flush paying 7. DB with the flush paying 6 this method is pretty close.
Ex: 8-5 jacks is just under 97.3%. the above calculation would need $2215
at quarters to be a break even game.
The actual number is $2162.50
9-7-5 DB is just over 99.1% at reset. The above calculation gets $1405 at
quarters. The actual value for this game is about $1426.25.

can I quickly (without needing a computer) look and tell if its a
favorable jackpot?thanks and sorry for the newb question.
