Video Poker - "9-6" Jacks or Better
(1) $0.20/coin x 5 coins x 1 hand = $1.00
(2) $0.05/coin x 5 coins x 4 hands = $1.00
The variance for CASE (1) is 19.5, Return = 99.54% with perfect strategy
What is the variance for CASE (2) ?

The variance is about 25.

Most people told me that the variance is lower but I disagree.
How to calculate it ? Simulation ?

If you go to www.jazbo.com choose the "N-play Bankroll" on the left and it will explain it.

That 4 hands are not independent !

How so?

The only thing I can think of is my answer above.

But in my example the total bet for case 1 and case 2 are the same. Have you consider this factor ?

Agree with this.
SSho88.. each hand in JoB (excluding Spin Poker) uses a fresh deck.

They're dependent, since each hand (in 3/5/10 play) is drawn out from the same starting position [held cards].

But not the drawn cards. The same card can be drawn in each hand which makes it independent. In SP, if a certain card is drawn in one column, it can't be in a later column.

The held cards are dependent and drawn cards are independent, so 4 hands are dependent.
The total betting amount is $1 for both case 1 and case 2, my question is which have lower variance ?

You didn't indicate in your initial post that it was n-play. I understood your situation for (2) in your OP to be... insert 5 coins, play 1 hand, insert 5 coin, play 1 hand, etc.. 4 times in total.
Did you mean insert 20 coins and play 1 4 handed game?

No. That doesn't make it independent. The variance in VP comes from the deal, not the draw.
OTOH, now I'm Jonesing to go play SP on videopoker.com.

Can't stand spin poker... just me.

I try not to play SP, but will if I have to.
Damn game is impossible to tell suits apart. :(
On the bright side, I have hit some pretty big hands on SP. perhaps I'll post one to the jackpot thread.
