I'm guessing one would need to play at least 0.25 for max bet ($1.25/line) for 5 lines...so that's $6.25 per spin, and if we knew the expected win rate for various combinations we could calculate the avg. number of spins, and hence coin-in, to get to that level of payout.
Sorry friend but I have no better way of answering your question. Obv it's a balance of risk vs reward. As an example, you could play suboptimally from an EV stand point, but maximize chance to make a big hand (eg, constantly draw at royals rather than hold a medium pair). You'd "make a big hand" more often, but obv go broke faster.
Similarly, clearly playing bigger makes it more likely you'll make a hand over 1k, but of course that costs more. There's too many variables to your question to make it possible to answer (number of lines, credit denom, game variety, etc).
I WILL say that for any given denom, you're more likely to make a score playing a high variance game like TDB. Compare to jacks or better- basically no way to make a hand which meets your criteria except a royal.
