I'll post my reply as well for those interested...I can tell you that so far, 37% of the sessions have earned an entry.
That is probably skewed a little lower than the expected average, by
those people who are going for the bonus only and throwing away good
hands. They won't get many entries with that strategy. If I had to throw out a rough guess, I'd say around 40%. But I'm not too familiar with the variance of Good Times Pay. The high multipliers probably skew things in the low direction for your typical session when you don't get a big winner.Maybe some of our local statisticians can lend some insight.
