Saw a bank of vp machines that had 98.98% payback. What does this exactly mean? Thanks !

It means for every $100 dollars you bet, you should get back $98.98. This of course would be the expected return over time. Your results would vary over the short time.

And that's if you play error-free 9/6 Double Double Bonus, which will pay 98.98% back in long term play. Errors could drop your expected return depending on skill level.
