about n pick 1 bonus

Hi there,
I have a strange question about the bonus game design in most of the slot game. Let's make it simple, consider a 3 pick 1 bonus game. Once the bonus triggered, the player is allowed to pick 1 out of 3 options to reveal a non-zero prize. I wonder in most of the games, should this prize proportional to the total bet or it pay a certain amount regardless of the total bet? For example, if a game require minimum 25 credits to play a game, the possible three prizes for the bonus game is 100, 200 and 300 credits and each prize given at uniform probability. What's the contribution of the bonus to the overall return percentage?

Here is what I think. if the probability of triggering the bonus is 0.1%, the average pay of the bonus is (100+200+300)/3=200, so the contribution is 0.001*200 = 0.2 but it takes 25 credits to start the spin so should I divide the contribution by 25 to get the correct answer so 0.001*200/25 = 0.008

If above math makes sense, does it mean in all slot with similar bonus, the bonus pay must be proportional to the total bet so, for example, if I bet 100 credits instead of 25, the bonus pay should be 400, 800 and 1200? Otherwise, we don't have the same contribution for different bet, is this reasoning correct?

I am more interesting in some real slot game, is it true that bonus pay always proportional to the total bet? I am looking for some online playing game with similar feature. Any link is welcome. Thanks.

I can only think of a few slots where the bonus wasn't proportional to the total bet usually on a banking machine or something linked.

Just curious to as why you're interested in such a thing, especially online?

I am just playing one game long time ago with N pick 1 option as bonus but I forgot if the bonus pay is proportional to the bet or not. So I just curious if is commonly true for most of the slot game. As for the online game, no special reason, I am just looking some free demo with similar feature to play.
