8 pays $3
7 pays $1
Others lose
RTP=90%
Feature machine

If the feature pays more than 3 then better to play the feature machine.
Quote: charliepatrickHaving the probabilities only works if you know all the prizes. Suppose there’s a simple fruit machine with one reel 0123456789. Each number equally likely.

I understand, I want to see one that is currently in use in Illinois that shows the probabilies where you can't derive the RTP.

Here is an IGT promo video for a VGT terminal in Illinois. The odds of "winning" is in the top left corner. This is the only info that Illinois legally requires to be revealed. There is no way to determine the RTP.

I was under the impression that the games would show the RTP or breakdown the odds of any winning combination in the help screen or paytable. Maybe they have changed it because I am pretty sure I have seen games in Illinois that do this.

IGT video poker will break it down by each category assuming optimal strategy at a 1 coin bet, so you could calculate optimal RTP easier. But I've never seen a slot do it.
