Those who play only when a progressive jackpot offers a positive
expectation still generate revenue for the casino, as most of the jackpot has
been funded by previous non-winning players.
This happens because the jackpot may be converted between currencies so that winners receive the
same value, while the qualifying wager is not converted.
In some cases, however, the manufacturer may publish
the machine’s payout. When the progressive jackpot is less than the break-even point, there is a negative expected value (house edge)
for all players. In some games such as video poker, blackjack, or Caribbean Stud Poker,
it is possible to compute an optimal playing strategy based
on the average payoff (the amount of payoff times the chance of payoff).
Or, to put it another way, one spin for twenty dollars
would have the same odds of winning the mystery jackpot as twenty spins
for one dollar each would, and also the same odds
of winning the jackpot as would four hundred spins for five cents each.
Often such jackpots encompass a variety of games, with
each game contributing a small percentage of wagers to the jackpot.
