Optimal start must hit?

When is the optimal time to start playing a must hit:

Meter moves $10 per spin in following pattern - one cent, one cent, two cents repeat

Must hit by $8,888

Meter amount should read???

$8887 sounds optimal to me.

Haha

Yeah i dont need math analysis for that one

But meter isnt that close where im at

Numbers please

A guess of house edge on that denomination is needed. Is there a 2nd meter?

Yes

Must hit by $1199

Meter moves 4 cents per $10 spin

I hate to bump but...

I'm no expert, but don't you need to let the forum know what the return is not counting the progressive? If it is giving back 88% not including the jackpot it is a quite different analysis than if it is giving back 95% not including the jackpot. I also think these questions should state whether or not there are any tax implications, as well as if there are any comp implications. Plus what +EV is the minimum you would accept for your time?

So I think the forum's minds that could answer you are silent because the question is too vague.

Thanks Soopoo. Not good at this type of analysis so dont mind being guided in right direction mathematically

92% payback is minimum it can be

Every $3000 coin-in gets $10 freeplay. Of course mailer opportunities later depending on coin-in

Taxes are like any atlantic city casino (but this is not atlantic city) $1200 higher you get w2g

Anything else (besides casino direct address lol)

You need to know the meter rate more precisely. I say the optimal point is as high as possible but not high enough that another person will get on and not get off until they hit it.

I take it you won't be covering must hits in your AP book.
