Suncoast VP

#1

I've been away from LV since early June so I'm checking
to see if the Suncoast VP has changed. I started on the progressives
today.

These progressives are currently much higher than normal.
$1 DDBP (west end of table games) $5,332 (still less than 100%)
5-cent Il Polio Progressive DB (near regis. desk) $584.45 (over 100%)
25-cent Bonus Deuces Wild (near sports book) $2021.00 (well over 100%)

The VPfree casino database has the $amount required for every
Suncoast progressive to exceed a 100% return (excluding the dealt
RF jackpot). Is there an easy way to factor in the dealt RF?

Off the top of my head:

Add'l Ret = Add'l Return / Total expected wager between hits
= (meter - std RF pay) / wager * Dealt RF cycle (649,740)

call the dealt RF cycle 650K;
= Dlt.RF bonus / wager*650K

So, the return added by a $10K Dlt RF meter on a quarter machine is
approx. 9K / 1.25*650K = .011 (1.1%)

Note that dealt frequencies aren't affected by strategy so this holds
for all vp variants.

Simple rule of thumb: .12% for every RF value added to base RF pay.
(heck, call it .1%)
