Lighting Link coin bonus

I wanted to know if anyone knows if you increase your bet from .10 to a higher amount say $1 does that add additional mini, minor and major coins to the bonus round thus increasing your odds of winning.

The way to think of it is how many bets is the mini or minor or major worth?

So if you're playing pennies and the mini is $10.. then betting 10 coins ($0.10) means a mini is worth 100 times your bet. But if you bet 100 coins ($1.00), then the mini is only 10 times your bet. So at the dollar bet level, you are far more likely to see minis. The same holds for the other categories.

concerning lightning link, I believe this is how it works, however there are some machines that actually increase the odds of hitting stuff as you increase your bet, usually the machine will indicate that aspect.

Yes, that's essentially what I'm saying. Thinking of it in another way, for my example above. If you hit the mini on a 10 cent bet, they need another 99 losing bets to get to break even. But if you're betting a dollar, they only need 9 more losing bets. So it can hit more often.

So to be clear there are more mini minor and major coins in the bonus based on the bet amount?

not necessarily

I believe relative frequency of those bonuses to be determined by "amount won divided by amount bet". The higher that number, the less frequent. So you could have a situation where if you're betting $25 on a $5 denomination where the mini is $1250, then (1250 / 25 ) = 50. Now if you're betting $1 on 1 cent denomination and the mini is $10, then that number is 10, so I woudl expect to see more minis on your $1 bet than your $25 bet.

ETA: within a denomination, I would say your statement is true, because it would follow the ratio logic above.

ETA a second time: With respect to the major, you would calculate this ratio based on the reset amount, not the current amount (typically $500). The progressive portion of the jackpot has been pre-funded by previous bets.

The frequency of the jackpot symbols (mini, minor, major) varies by denomination. If you play 1c denom then it's quite common to get multiple minis show up in the same feature - it only pays $10. This never happens when you play $1 or $2 spins when the amount paid is significantly higher.

When the bet amount goes up within a denomination, the appearance of larger symbols of course goes up. Not just for switching to a higher denomination, this is common sense since the value of the bonus symbols such as minor bonus and major bonus goes up in dollar terms with accordance to the denomination. I assume switching to a higher denomination increases the odds of the Grand, but it is only because the total bet goes up, and it's obviously also negligible.
