Quote: Beethoven9thDoubt it. How would they make money? (Of course, I could be wrong though)
After googling for 15 minutes, the consensus seems to be "only if its a mistake or there is some kind of promotion going on".
Makes sense I guess. Actually video poker in general seems like a HIGH negative EV for all games because 1-2 percent of the return comes from getting
the occasional RF, which only the extremely dedicated or extremely lucky gambler will get.

Hi everyone,
i have been playing a game of joker poker (kings +) with a positive EV, and would like to have some questions answered (see "questions", below "assumptions")
Assumptions (used www.beatingbonuses.com to work out most of data below, and used wizard of odds to work out player edge and basic strategy):
Bank roll: $200
Player edge (e.v.) is about: + 1.926% (between 1.90% to 1.95%)
standard deviation is about: 1.10
chance of bust is about: 0.1%
bet size per hand: $0.10
hands per round of betting: 25
rounds per 10 hours: 6240 (between 600 - 640 per hour)
expected gain per 10 hours: +$300.46 (with an unlimited bank roll)
Gain to 2nd standard deviation(s): +$0.1 to + $543.03 (over 10 hour period)
expected gain^ per 10 hours: +$271.56 (with $200 starting bank roll)
Question
expected gain^: I sort of understand that you need adequate bank-roll to effectively reduce chance of bust to nil, but why is the expected gain reduced by so much for the $200 bank roll used above?
shouldn't the expected gain be reduced to only +$300.26 for the first 10 hour block, since the chance of bust value in terms of bankroll x chance of bust, is $0.20?
thanks in advance
Kurt

its hard to beat possibly GAFFED machines. It only takes one to kill your EV,not to mention they have had a sketchy past reputation with no paysQuote: ksdjdjnot to do with deuces wild, but if the "... that offer EV+ ..." part of your question is more important, then try 5dimes $0.10 x 25 hand joker poker (kings +), with an expected value of about $30.00 per hour (unlimited bank-roll), please also see if you can attempt to answer my question(s) at the bottom of the repost, it would be much appreciated:

Hi everyone,
i have been playing a game of joker poker (kings +) that has an effective payout of 2.20* on all outcomes (pair of kings or higher). I would like to have my questions about expected gain with a limited bank-roll explained.
* the payout table is 2.15 level payout, but is rounded up to the nearest cent when playing 10 cents (10 cents should pay 21.5 cents but instead pays 22 cents)
Assumptions for question below (used www.beatingbonuses.com to work out most of data below, and used wizard of odds to work out player edge and basic strategy):
Bank roll: $200
Player edge (e.v.) is about: + 1.926% (between 1.90% to 1.95%, instead of about negative 0.4% if you were being paid exactly 2.15)
standard deviation is about: 1.10
chance of bust is about: 0.1%
bet size per hand: $0.10
hands per round of betting: 25
