STP / Double STP variance?
What about Double STP? Naturally, if STP is 51% more, then seems like DSTP would be about 100% more. But I don't want to make any assumptions.
If a deal multiplier is awarded, and you're dealt a royal, it pays at 20x. (80000 coins per hand)
Of course, dealt royals aren't particularly common.

Yes, this is true.
And come to think of it, I think it'd be proper to multiply it by 3.25 instead of 2. Since you'd really be doing 1.5*1.5=3.25. That is, of course, if that can even be done.
If anything, I think the increase from STP to DSTP is less than that of regular to STP, since multipliers on DSTP are more common and more dispersed than STP.
The now mobile-friendly video poker calculator can calculate the variance of STP and DSTP games.
And nice work on updating the calculator JB!

Awesome. Now how do I take into account for multi-line? Do I find the ratio from 9/6 DSTP to 9/6 (which is 2.52:1), find the variance of n-play (say 10 lines at 37), then do 2.52*37 to get total variance of 10-play 9/6 JoB DSTP?
Nice calculator BTW. Any plans on doing that with a strategy generator on it?

The strategy generator is already mobile friendly.
Unfortunately multi-line variance is much more complicated than that. :(
Quote: mcallister3200There's a page on wizard of odds with multi-line variance up to 100 lines, the increase/decrease per line variance is fairly linear. Not sure if it applies exactly to STP, haven't looked at it in a long time.
Yeah, I'm not sure how that affects multiline variance exactly either. Since the multiplier is always awarded to all lines, that probably makes things worse in the variance department.
JB...help!
But yes, JB HELP!!!

variance on normal JoB = 20
dstp JoB would be 50? (worse than ddb!)
how much higher for triple line dstp JoB?
just see how much of a wild ride i'll be in when I visit Vegas next month where $1 3play dstp (9/5 JoB) is the fastest tier credit machine. (98.95% @ planet Hollywood)

included in the dstp return is the dealt Royal with auto 20x multiplier?
how much does that add to it?
