After 40 hours they could expect to be losing about $40,800. From this point on, with an average payback of 100.6%, they could expect to earn $180/hr thru infinity, breaking even after a total of 307 hours. From there on the profits continue to be $180/hr or $22.50 per machine. The result is video poker teams probably wouldn't be too excited about this opportunity except on fairly rare occasions.These numbers, of course, reflect nearly perfect play. In reality, however, once the bank of machines have had a total play of over $1 million coin-in, an individual expert player, being able to pick and choose, and being able to take advantage of fellow player error,can probably expect to average $50/hr or more on a regular basis.
oobie,
If the group of experts started playing all the machines at the reset point, any progressive amounts over and above the 4000 coinRF were contributed by themselves, so they are only getting their own money back.
The only way a group of experts would play these machines would be if the progressives were already built up past $10,000 through other player losses.
