Can someone help me determine my "theo: on a Video Poker session?
Scenario: I play 100 hands of $5 coin ($25max) DBL Bonus VP 9/6/5. How to calculate my theoretical loss on this session/game assuming I'm playing perfect?
Would it be 100 x $25 x (1-97.81%) = $54.75

Usually wherever someone is talking about theo they are talking about it from the casinos point of view. Usually it's in regards to comps.Quote: HLgrinderCan someone help me determine my "theo: on a Video Poker session?

Expected loss is probably a better term for it. And yes, you're doing it right.

The question really becomes. Is the casino using the actual return rate of that machine to calculate theo or do they have a set amount for all vp/slots.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.
