We are talking EV per game/hand played

About the math: in a 7 coins/cents game, they will pay out 4.2 cent in prizes and 2.8 cent is added to the jackpot. of which 77% (2.16 cent) to the current jp and 23% (0.64 cent) is set aside for future jackpot
s.
Now I believe they say jackpot
s (plural) because they always let a jackpot start at atleast 25K. Sometimes they will not have raked enough $$ for the next jackpot to start at 25K (When a JP is hit when it is low). So in the end they make sure they don't have to add $$ themselfs to let a JP start at 25K.
Then you calculated that a JP will hit on average at around 137K. Now I did not take the effort to calculate this myself, but if Stars wants the promo to be more successful I suggest they add more segments on the wheel and let the JP hit when it is on average 500K. Because in this pace it will reach 137K every 1/2 days. (maybe cause it is still new)
About the BE point. When the game is not raked, then why are we calculating this
. There is ofcourse some hidden value in playing it every 12 hours which is difficult to calculate. Regardless of how high the JP is, there is a lot more value in the first hand played every 12 hours, then in the 2nd. If coins are limited and you want to play it safe, then wait for the JP to exceed 280K and play it once every 12 hours at 7 coins.
