A method of increasing gaming activity and entertainment value of progressive reel slot machines involving posting or publishing information items sufficient to determine a current expected progressive return of a progressive game, the information items being located on, or adjacent a location of, the game. For a progressive reel slot machine, publishing certain critical parameters, and providing a means or an equation to allow players to calculate the current expected progressive return of the machine thereby increasing the attraction and interactivity of progressive reel slot machines. The published critical parameters are the probability of hitting the progressive jackpot, the current amount of the progressive jackpot, the amount of the qualifying bet, and either the truncated return of the machine, or the flat return of the machine and the amount of the minimum reset value of the progressive reel slot machine. The critical parameters can be presented in raw or encoded form and can be published on the individual machines. A pre-programmed electronic calculator can be provided to calculate the current expected progressive return upon input of the published critical parameters, or a slide rule calculator can be provided which is designed to calculate the return for various progressive reel slot machines.
