(1) The minimum percentage payout of a gaming machine is 87%.
(2) If a gaming machine is connected to a linked jackpot arrangement, the minimum percentage payout is the total of the percentage payout for the machine and the percentage of turnover for the machine.
Example
If the machine pays out 85% directly on its prize schedule and makes a 3% contribution to a link, the total percentage payout of the machine is 88% which is above the minimum requirement of 87%.
