New Project Ideas

How about determining the optimal payout percentage and/or payout frequency on a game/slot machine? If the payout percentage is too low, a player will lose interest in the game in a shorter amount of time verses a higher payout percentage. How much longer would a person play a game given a higher payout percentage? Is there a point at which casino profits could be maximized? How about player satisfaction? Is there increased risk of addiction given higher payout percentages or payout frequencies?

Another thing to consider is the amout of payout in relation to the amount wagered, and how the two are related. Which is a better money maker over the long run, small frequent payoffs or the possibility of an occasional larger "longshot" jackpot. For example, more lottery tickets sold when the jackpot gets over a given threshold of magnitude. What might the thersholds be?

How about ranking the casino games with regard to these measurements. Would games with similar payout frequency and similar payout vs wager ratios be appealing to the same players? Would these measurements be useful to a novice or casual player when choosing which games to try?

Go with what is now popular : Penny slots. There are so many questions that players do not understand and are curious about. How do bonus's work? are they really random? Are the payoffs per line the same? What bankroll is required for different betting levels? Pix of insides of machines? Maybe a penny machine website with news of latest penny machines, where they are located, reports from your field agents. Slew of books and websites for BJ, poker etc None I know of dedicated to penny slots. Surely Slot Manufacturesr would provide previews , pix, etc. I am sure you have graphics like the different Wiz of Oz machines, bonuses on each, features like vibrating chairs, etc. Beatles might sue if you named it Penny Lane but The Penny Wizard or
Chump Change ( LOL) might work?????

My wife often can't wait to tell our daughters about a new penny slot she has discovered? Would be great if they could go online and play a demo ?
