I'm not talking about team play....that's a different matter entirely. I was referring to one player against a machine.
SO:
9/6 JOB- it's a 99.5439% return.
Make it a progressive, say the prog. reaches 2k- the return jumps to 101.8635%.

8/5 JOB- 97.2984%
8/5 JOB- with 2k for a royal= 99.5917%

Those are the odds of the game with those payout schedules. Doesn't matter whether it's an individual playing or a team; the machine's paytable & amount of the royal dictates the %. The one little old lady at the end machine not connected to a team has exactly the same SLIM chance of hitting the royal as does a team with a pooled bankroll. But that's a matter of luck, and has nothing to do with the game's pc.

BTW, have you heard that room rates, storage fees and airport pickup costs in NYC have tripled almost overnight???????
