BUT.. remember the wierd RTG special max win rule. This is defined to be 40000*line bet. So actually payout% will actually be highest if you play
few lines, but this effect is really really small. Especially for a low variance slot like fruit frenzy. I would not worry about this unless I am playing
Rain Dance where you can hit the cap if you get 5 scatters and just a little luck with retriggers.

Worthy of investigation, but RTG slots have "fluid" reel bands, unlike MGS, so analysis is not so straight forward. I noticed another slot that has this oddity, Super Diamond Mine played at one line and one coin still advances the counter for the bonus round, BUT it seems the bonus round payout is saved up depending on the whole play history, as even triggering it on max coins and max lines leads to severely reduced awards based on earlier play at less than max coin/lines. Likely that Fruit Frenzy has something to adjust for getting the feature with few lines and a big line bet.

I might try this out, does at least sound interesting. Wonder if you miss the target more often for playing fewer lines?
