I saw this game of STP BP and the game had a progressive amount if you had a royal flush on a 10X multiplier hand. A rare hand indeed.

The game had a terrible paytable of course, FH-9, FL-6, ST-4, Trips-2, 2P-2, HP-1. The other parts were normal pay table. Using the Wizard's calculator the game has a base of 94.24%.

This was a quarter game and the progressive amount for the 10X royal was almost $60,000.

How would you go about calculating affect this has on the game? What do you think the progressive amount has to be to make the game basically 100%?

It's BP. At the GN. IIRC only exists on triple play.

Most likely labeled wrong. I've seen games labeled "Jacks or Better" only to look and see it's Bonus Poker Deluxe.

It's not labeled wrong. I saw it with my own two eyes. It's 9/6 BP where 3-kind pays 2, not 3.

BP doesn't come in 9/6. 8/5 BP. Gotta get a picture.

Another person on videopoker.com also confirmed this paytable at Pechanga in California. It's called "Bonus Poker" because the quads pay similar to traditional Bonus.

http://forum.videopoker.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6534&PID=82714#82714

I saw 6/5/3 DDB with my own eyes at the GN this past Thursday on it.

Best Paytable looks to be 8/5/4 DB (94.18% before STP and progressive). I also assume the STP multipliers have been shaved down too as the IGT media sheet says the best payback is 94.43%. I forgot to read the help screen in my haste though. :(

The progressive itself adds little to the game's return though. Assuming that ( and that's an IF) the 10X multiplier probability is still 1 in 375 and the total royal probability is about 1 in 40k... going to ignore 2 or 3 non dealt 10X royals to make life easier

Extra betting units won with a 10X royal at Bar pastor: $40000/$4.50 = 8888.888

Non dealt royal probability:
1/40k -1/649700 = 1 in 42,624.11 x 3 lines = 1 in 14208.04

Extra return from non dealt royal:
8888.888/375/14208.04 =0.0016683301

Extra return from dealt royal
8888.888/375/649740 = 0.0000364818

Approximate additional return from $50k payout vs. $10k...0.17%.

Game will never get close to positive in it's current state.

With a dealt 10x royal, the RF frequency goes to about 29k hands. Not that it really matters, though. But you'd also have to subtract away the $10k you'd normally get....maybe? Idk. Not that it really matters.


Either way, the game is awful.

thank you for doing this.

I did not think it would be good because of the 4 out of 1500 hands occurrence of the 10X multiple. Even with the 29K incidence of the royal with the changed strategy (which I had generated on the wizard's site). I had looked at the wizard's sequential royal site (.23 , about every 4 million hands) and since this game was showing 14 million hands for occurrence. I had tentatively estimated it at .07 of value at 60K.

is this any royal with a 10x multiplier wins the progressive? or does it have to be a dealt royal with a 10x multiplier?

Pretty sure any royal.

But only available on triple play.



Saw it around $91K a few days ago. Had a brain fart and totally forgot to look at paytable n take a picture. :(

Yeah, it's any royal. Dealt Royal with 10X as the top prize would break most state laws. Odds of dealt royal with 10X in standard STP is 1 in 243.66M. Most states require the top prize to be hit more than 1 in 50M.

I did not know that fact. Thanks! Gives credence to the megabucks being an approx 50M to 1 hit.

If I'm not mistaken, I think they can have chances be worse than 1/50M but it has to be noted on the machine.

In Nevada, yes, it can be as bad as 1 in 100M without notice. NJ and MS it is 1 in 100M too. But IGT probably would like to spread this to many other states. Not convinced that will happen with the paytables. If they would set this at 8/5 DDB, or even 7/5 DDB, I wonder if they would do better, thanks to increased volume.

Was at the nugget recently a lot of the lower paying hands are chopped off, such as 2 pair paying 1 on job, straight paying 3 on db and DDB, etc. On top of bad pay. This machine will make a lot of money if it gets a lot of play.

Edit: already mentioned in the op. I was extremely surprised to see such a crappy pay table. Although I was thinking about a video poker WAP, as well as a higher payout on 4oaks and above with no pay on high pairs - 3oak for extreme volatility.
