I've read a few of your posts about how many hands you need to play to approach the games expected payout given the standard deviation of each hand. I assume those numbers assume all independent hands. Do you have any math that would estimate expected payouts from playing the same dollar amount per pull ($250) but playing on either 1 hand game (for $50/$250), 5 hands ($10/$250), 10 hands, or 50 hands?
I'm curious as the whether the distribution of outcomes is reduced by playing the larger number of hands per play at a smaller $ per hand but same total wager.
In addition, how the math looks for playing 50 independent hands versus a 50 hand game.
thanks

Helps you do the math for multi-line (50-play) games. If you're looking for something else -- be more specific in what you're trying to figure out.
