You did well indeed. The Wynn machine is not really tougher, it's just the odds game. Most strike machines pay out a strike at a 40:1 payout value (ignoring for a minute the mulitple coin requirements). $10 strikes are typically in a $0.25 machine and $40 strikes are typically in a $1.00 machine. Wynn has a $40 strike in a $0.25 machine, making it a 160:1 payout for that particular strike. There are also two $10 strikes in the machine, lowering the overall strike payout to blended rate of 80:1, or twice the normal odds. As you can see, that would make the machine appear to be paying out only 1/2 as much, when in actuallity, the dollar amount paid by the machine is comparable to other silver strike machines. Now in a multiple coin machine (as I believe all but one currently are) you must divide those odds by the number of coins required. For instance in the example above, the 80:1 odds are now 80:3 or as a reduced number 26.6667:1. Keep in mind that these odds are then divded by the set payout percentage for the machine, which can vary greatly by machine and is a closely guarded casino secret. So if the machine pays out 94%, your odds are now 28.37, giving the casino a respectable 6% gross profit margin. No matter where you go in this town, it's ALL about the odds and the margins...
