30 cent @ 1x or 130 cent @ 5x + What Bankroll

Like so many others before me have said, you have a great website. I have picked up countless tips that were invaluable for someone living 40 minutes from the Atlantic City casinos. I hope that you can clear up this on for me. There are some new “penny slots” that have progressive larger play amount buttons. The one I like has 30, 60, 90, 130, and 260 cent buttons. They progress from 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 times the indicated win. As you see, the multiplier is not proportional to the amount bet. My question is, is it a better to bet the 5 times or stick with the 1 times and how much bigger must my bankroll be to adjust to it.

It sounds like you are getting a payback bonus the more you bet, so bet more if you want to get more back.

This being a slot machine, you aren't going to get more than about 94-95% back, though.

Your bankroll should be 2x, 3x, 5x, etc. as big, since you are betting proportionally that much more.
