Those progressive meters were moving upward at a pretty good pace, too.

95.7% base pay, but the 2nd pic above (the quad Ks) is >100% imo.

At reset, contributions to payback are about 2% for the royal, and 2.5% for each of the metered quads.

As shown, 3 of the 4 progressives are up bigly from base levels:

- royal 3600 vs 2000 reset
- AWAK 1600 vs 1000 reset
- babyWAK 600 vs 400 reset

Each of those is boosting the payback by >1%.

We don't know the meter speeds, but it's definitely a good (also volatile) game if played selectively.

Interesting. I’ve never played a progressive machine. Guess I like to keep things simple.

If the meters are fast, a progressive can be useful despite bad base pays. Here in NV, Caesars casinos usually run slow meters, but managers in Indian territory probably have some autonomy.

We can see from the numbers that for every $1 increase in the royal, the AWAK goes up 0.75, and the babyWAK 0.50. Aces no kicker is probably 0.25.

If I had to guess, those are probably also the percentages. In which case they're putting a total of 2.5% into the meters. And they're generous on the quads in relation to the royal, so you're less dependent than usual on hitting the most difficult outcome.
