This game has been fun but is confusing. I'm hoping someone can answer the following questions.

1. What is an example where no one collects a bonus and it carried over to next game?
2. The strategy guide states the house expected return is "1% * playersInGame * tableAmount". I'm confused why the number of players in the game matters for the House_EV? Can someone elaborate/clarify?
3. In the FAQ, a 2nd house EV formula is listed as "1 % * (intendedCashOut - roomAmount) * (roomAmount / intendedCashOut)". Why are there 2 House_EV formulas?
4. In the chat, it was stated the the multiplier is calculated by using a random number from 0 to 1 in the formula m(r)=(99+r)/(100*r). Is this true?
5. Using the below variables, how would you represent Player EV ignoring the bonus profit?

P_EV = Player EV
r_AW = roomAmountWagered
p_AW = playerAmountWagered
p_M = playerMultiplier

P_EV = Huh

1. I believe all bonuses are paid out for each game.  If there is leftover after cashed out players are paid, the uncashed out players will be paid.  0x does not pay bonus but 1x does.
2 and 3 I cannot answer as I have not looked at the code nor am I qualified to calculate
4. The multiplier is 1/(1-rand()), subsequently adjusted for 1% house edge
5. see 2 and 3.

If you are looking to play +EV...

Thank you for your responses. I understand how to play profitably. I'm just trying to optimize.
