Is the payback pct the same if I choose 1c or 5c denom (Lock it Link)

According to the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, the average payback percentage for penny slots in Reno is 92.78% and for nickel denomination 95.97%. I realize this is an average, not a constant among all slot machines.

So when it comes to a particular slot machine where you can choose the denomination, such as Lock it Link, does the programming pay a higher percentage if I pick nickel? If not and it's the same, then I'll just stick with penny.

I don't play it often but I was wondering about this.

Any game I've been involved with had the ability for the operator to select a different percentage for each denomination. I'm just not sure how they classify such a machine, either 1 cent or 5 cent. Here in Colorado, they have a category specifically for Multi-Denom, but you can't really gather any info about how they set each denomination or even which denominations are available.

I'm not so sure you'll be getting something by raising denominations. I've seen nickel 6/5 VP and the same thing for $1s, on the same machines, multiple multiple dozens like it in the same casino.

In Nevada, slot machine statistics have a separate value for multi-denomination machines.

Here's something that surprised me: for the 12 months ending 7/31/2018, in Nevada, nickel machines had a higher percentage return than quarter or (non-Megabucks) dollar machines.
