Quote: Swanson234Worst case scenario question. What's the EV on a quarter machine on a 96% payout 10 hand game if just one of the hands has 2x multiplier?

There is an easy way to make this calculation. You have 9 lines that pay 1X and one line that pays 2X. Nine plius 2 is 11. Multiply 96% by 11 then divide by 10 to get 105.6%.
This works with multiple multipliers too. If you have a 2x and a 3X then 8 lines pay 1X, one line pays 2X, one line pays 3X. Eight plus 2 plus 3 is 13. Multiply 96% by 13 then divide by 10 to get 124.8%.
So say you've found a $1 denom, 10 line game with a 3x next hand multiplier on a 96% base return game. You would do (12*0.96)/10 = 115%
If I understand this correctly, the return is 115% of your wager. With 10 lines at $1 denom, you'd be playing $50 for the spin. With a 115% return, you're expecting to get $57.50 back, or in other words, your EV is $7.50?

You got it all right, RS.
Last few days I, and another vulture friend, noticed that some machines are no longer displaying the last hand (used) multipliers. Anyone else notice this? Has there been a software update issued to remove these recently?
I noticed this about a month ago at a casino I used to vulture in.They must have changed software.Quote: 21formeNew question:

Good, hopefully they all behave the same way, nice time-saver.

How is it a time saver? You still have to check all the games for a next-hand mult.

Yeah, but there is a slight visual adjustment when you are looking at a ten-handed game where the previous game was played with a bunch of multipliers and you're trying to look for next hand ones. At least, for me, there is. Everything gets a little blurry. With the ones that don't show previous hand multipliers, if you see yellow, you know you're good!
