✴️ Crystal Star Deluxe is a BEAST!!! 😈

Crystal Star Deluxe is a fairly simple 3-reel slot machine, where the ultimate goal is to line up 3 Crystal Star symbols on a given line in order to release a progressive jackpot. The Crystal Star symbols can also nudge themselves, depending on which way their arrows are pointing, giving you a chance to land multiple wins on a single spin - even multiple jackpots!! The advantage on this game is created when the bottom progressive reaches 60x the bet, which in the case of the $1 denom, would be at least $540... so keep your eyes out folks, best of luck, and pick 'em good!!

I spent way to much time trying to figure out this game after your video.
Total Pay = Bleed% + Line Pay% + Bonus Pay% at Reset + Casino Hold%
Bleed% = $0.25 per $9 spin = 2.8%
Assume 300 spins to reach bonus
EV of bonus at reset = 1/300 spins * $300 = $1
Bonus% at reset = $1 divided by $9 per spin = 11.1%
Therefore we have our total pay formula and solve for line pay = 2.8% bleed + Line Pay% + 11.1% bonus at reset + 10% casino hold = 100%
Therefore line pay = 76.1%
Now you just need the current value of bonus pay% + line pay% + bleed to be greater than 100%. That occurs at $569
EV of bonus at $569 is $569 divided by 300 spins = $1.89 per spin
Divide by this by $9 per spin = 21%
Now 76.1% + 21% + 2.8% = 99.9%
This all assumes 90% RTP and 300 spins to hit the bonus.

Wow. This is quite impressive, Otis! 🤓 I'll probably spend way too much time trying to understand it all, but it makes sense on the surface and lines-up with my gut instinct that the break-even is north of $540 (60x)... after a few sessions with somewhat mixed results, I've been thinking of raising my minimum criteria up to $585 (65x), so it seems I'm still in the ballpark. Thanks again for sharing these calculations!

@@SlotsOfOpportunities The most important thing to do is keep track of the spin count for the bonus. You hit it after 320 spins on this video. I think roughly 300 spins is reasonable but I have never played this game.

Will do @otisreed8951 - The line pay potential on this 3-reel 9-line game is pretty solid... I recently took one on at a similar range to this and abandoned the play after I hit triple 7's with 5x and 2x multipliers for $1000 which put me up over $500 so I decided to bank the profit... it was at an MGM property on the Strip, so I kinda felt like I got away with something considering the lower rtp %. The Rio has a couple of these machines too, including one at the 25 cent denom.
