This would also require setting a specific period over which the percentage had to be attained, since the current indefinite period makes any percentage figure meaningless"

While I agree that the companies should be forced to define how they derive the 70% payout figure, and that all companies should be forced to stick to the same method for deriving this figure, and that maybe a legal minimum payout should be set, bear in mind that if a fruit machine payout is too low, people will not go back to it.
