98.98% when played with 100% accuracy.Correct.Plus slot clubPlus promotionsPlus compsThe base percentage is just the starting point. You need to consider the extras as well in determining whether or not the game is worth playing.Also, if you're going to become a serious player, you should have this information at your fingertips. Eventually you'll have it memorized --- but it's no crime to be a beginner. The data is available is some books --- and it's available using software --- including some free versions. If "asking others" for your information is the way you choose to go, there are serious limits to how good you can become. And it's not a trivial matter to determine who is giving you good information and who is giving you bad.

Bob, would you play this DDB game as described by Felix? So far this year I've played about $1.5 million coin-in on this game --- thanks to two separate promotions that I'm not ready to write about --- one of which is scheduled to be repeated soon. If the rules next time are as good as they were last time --- or better --- I will probably play it heavily again before too long.In previous years, there have been a few dozen times that this game was attractive enough to play. But since it starts off with a 1.02% house edge, it has to be a pretty unusual situation for it to be both positive and better than any other game I can find at the time.

Bob would also play a 90% slot if he got 100X Reward Credit multiplier at CET casinos.

In video poker you can get the information off the front of the machine (if you know the code). In slots you can't

So if 75% (Nevada minimum slot return) plus the 100x multiplier's return constituted a lower bound return >=105% you wouldn't play it since the actual return of the slot is unknown right ?

I would think he would trust state law. But 100X RC multiplier is only worth 20% in comps and that's if you value comps like cash, which you shouldn't. 7 Stars is 125RC per $1 of freeplay though.

I would probably also trust IGT media sheets. I have seen quite a few. Almost all newer IGT video slots have to be 85% minimum. IGT's "Winner's Choice" is 92% minimum.

Thanks. Interesting tidbit should one seek to squeeze in a bit of slot play.I just saw a Winner's Choice 2 machine online. Do you know anything about this latest version and is it also about 92%?
