I just created a new page on Hyper Bonus Poker. As always, I welcome all comments and corrections.

Sorry, didn't see this at first.

A couple of minor corrections with the paytable listing all available versions, but looks good otherwise:

Traditional 7/5 Bonus pays 98.01% yielding a difference of 0.28%.

Traditional 9/5 Jacks or Better pays 98.45% yielding a difference of 0.32%.

This game really ticks me off by not giving the average multiplier info in the help screen, and that you analyzed the 2nd best paying version of the game available of this game, and it doesn't even pay 99%. My local casino may also offer this game as they have 9/5 DDB, but without the average multiplier, I won't know for sure! grrr... IGT is basically saying "screw you" to the intelligent player with their new games. Ultimate Aces is even worse, maxing out at 98.47%....ugh

I wonder why they published average multipliers on an older game, but not this one and how they're able to advertise a guaranteed multiplier when it is in fact not guaranteed if a multiplier can be 1x. I understand why they didn't publish so it can be changed any time, but someone must have thought they must before and forced the company to do so, but not later. Something must have changed regulation-wise for both aspects, but what specifically was it I wonder.

The $15 daily fee might be why the highest return available is below 99%. I've only played a few individual 99% machines in my life at the quarter and dollar level. Mostly because they're rare or essentially compless. Always thought everything was too low because the gaming companies are making better returns impossible by insisting they must stick their hands in the cookie jar before anyone else. The fact it is assumed every player plays perfectly also doesn't help, when most won't.

What does it mean a bet is non-refundable? I'm assuming as soon as 10 coins per line is selected, the hand is dealt instead of being able to change the bet or cash out.

Bets in video poker are always non-refundable, as far as I know. I guess I was trying to emphasize that the player couldn't choose whether to pay extra for the multiplier after the deal, but had to pay for it in advance, without the right to a refund if he got a crap cards on the deal.
