it can also be the number of raked hands you need to play relative to the bonus.
For example, in the absolute reload I posted about it's a 10x relead so if I have $350 bonus from it, to collect that bonus with a 10x reload I have to clear 3500 raked hands.
If it were a 5x then it would be 1750 raked hands, and a 7x would be 2450 raked hands.
Obviously the lower the number needed the better the bonus is as you can clear it faster, but the more likely it is that it will be a lesser value bonus.
