There isn't one twitch streamer that calculates it this way. The way most people see it, you pay a premium for the bonus, your winning payout lines doesn't increase by 100x. If this is true, then max payout can only be 500x on MT2
Well, because it's doesn't matter the viewer doesn't care he did a wrong calculation. The important thing to see for the viewer will be always:
- Doing a big bet
- Win big bet
- Lose a lot of money
All calculation for feature buy will always depend on how the money you spend.
That wasn't my point. I'm referring to professional gamblers calculating this way. The correct logic is your bet amount(excluding the bonus premium) x per pay line, if my bet was a 10 dollar bet, my hit would be $10 x 2442 so I would've made $24,420. The extra cost is a premium for the bonus. No point of going on with this debate though, no way of convincing you guys or me haha

I do believe that people who stream on twitch (or any other place) would honestly just focus on the big lines but there are two types, one of them will do big lines and wager minimum and their shows are usually boring for a very long period of time unless they manage to hit a few, and if they end up in profit people do not really care about the 95% of the show where it was just loss loss loss loss loss because there are those couple wins that made him profit so they see it as a good strategy.
Or there are those who do not gamble that way and gamble with less risk and just try to make a small amount of return, when they do that they end up with either a small loss or a small win but they are steady and some viewers prefer that and if they end up steadily profiting, they get more famous.
