8/5 JoB with a 1100 coin progressive returns about 98.1% vs. 97.3% regular.

Wow...didn't realize the progressive helped as little as it did. Thanks.

Did you realize the 8/5 hurt as much as it did?

Yeah, I was tracking that 8/5 w/optimal strategy was around 97% payback vs. around 99.8% for 9/6 JOB. I simply thought the progressive would eat away more house edge than it actually did.

9/6 machines are a dying breed these days...the best I remember were in Ceasar's Indiana, a $.25 9/6 machine with a progressive Royal that was routinely around $1200. With the cashback and comps it was one of the best values in the casino.
