I've changed my figures for ease of calculations, (and I am not saying this will be what will happen - but I think it's a reasonable general indicator).
I've used the common "80/20 rule" as "20% of players will win 80% of the money", and changed down from 1000 players to 625 players playing for 1000 hours each.
Therefore, "250,000 chips per hour means the advertisers are adding $75 per hour into the players' kitty, $75,000 per year" changes to "156,250 chips per hour means the advertisers are adding $46.875 per hour into the players' kitty, $46,875 per year".
That might mean those 625 players win an average of $75 per year each for their 1000 hours each, or an average 7.5 cents per hour each.
Using the 80/20 rule, as above, that might mean the 125 top winners will win an average of 30 cents per hour each, or $300 per year each, and the other 500 players will win an average of $18.75 per year each.
That might mean the top 25 of those 125 winners will win an average of $1200 per year each, and the other 100 will win an average of $75 each.
That might mean the top 5 of those 25 winners will win an average of $4800 per year each, and the other 20 will win an average of $300 each.
That might mean the top winner of those 5 winners will win an average of $19,200 per year, and the other 4 will win an average of $1200 each.

Check of 625 players playing for 1000 hours each:
1 player might win $19,200 ave per year. (Top 0.16%)
4 players might win $1,200 ave per year. (Top 0.80%)
20 players might win $300 ave per year. (Top 4.00%)
100 players might win $75 ave per year. (Top 20.00%)
500 players might win $18.75 ave per year.
$19,200 + $4,800 + $6000 + $7,500 + $9,375 = $46,875
