In Florida today, $1 games average 63.7%, $2 games average 70.6%, $3 games average 76.7%, $10 games average 74.6%, $20 games average 77.8%, $50 games average 76.1%. That is an average, not a rule: within this $5 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 38.2 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
