A player that chooses only to
play when the progressive jackpot is
higher than the break-even point, is
still making money for the casino, and
so is welcomed and may earn
complimentary gifts while playing the
progressive jackpot. Consider a game
with a 10% house edge, and a 2%
progressive jackpot contribution. This
progressive jackpots game is 8% in favor of the house.
The 2% progressive jackpots
contribution is accumulated in a special
"account", to be won by a talented or
even lucky progressive jackpots player. The mechanism
behind the progressive
jackpots game is programmed that while some
of the progressive jackpots
winners will be taking home more money than
they deposited into the game machines, any amount
that they win over an above a 8% loss is made up from the
progressive jackpot
"account" that the machine
puts on the side.
Savvy
and experienced gamblers are aware of this, and
in many occasions may organize groups of players to
play machines where the progressive
jackpots are fin favor of the
progressive jackpots player. Such teams
of progressive jackpots players might in
many cases displace regular players,
making the progressive machines
unattainable just
when they are most interesting.
As a result of that, some brick and
mortar casinos have a strict policy
of forbidding "team play", and will
remove
players they suspect might be in on playing in such
teams.
