There is an argument to be made that the the "value" of a system to the player is variable if you are measuring results beyond the $ outcome. To the casino these measures may be factors, for example, machines with high hit rates, but the casino only cares about other factors to the extent that they have a positive impact on the main measure, which is how much revenue the system generates for them.

I remember reading about slots some which had a lower jackpot that ended up paying more often and others with a higher jackpot that didn't payoff as much. I like the lower jackpots (that you can't find anymore)
