It was was a linear function it would mean that 200 players each betting 1$ would have same chance that one of the hitting the jackpot during the same time a player betting 200$/spin would have. However there are 1$ slot player
playing all the time(probably 200+ players) and several jackpost is not won every hour as some high rollers manage. QED
(Actually betting 100$ and winning a jackpot of a few k$ is not much different from hitting the bonus round)

Because it is not a linear function at RTG casino is means that payout% increase with bet-size. So low rollers are playing at a higher house edge.

This has not happened at Intercasino to my knowledge, which means the I believe the function is liniear there. And most of the marvel jackpots wins I have heard of has also been won by low rollers. (because there are so many of them compared to high rollers).

This is just yet another nail in the coffin to RTG slots. I like them but as a low roller the slots are just robbing me and the chance of winning the jackpot are way way too slim. (how many has seen post of jackpot wins with bets of 0.2$ or 0.4$ at RTG? I have seen several from Intercasino but not from RTG)

Besides the payout% for RTG is never published. But even if it were published it would be an average where low rollers should except it to be lower for them.
