Turbo Poker

You may recall a video poker game where you have to pay for the draw in my thread VIDEO POKER GAME WITH 205% RETURN. I since wrote a page on the game, which is titled American Poker Gold.

The same software company has another game titled Turbo Poker with the same rule of paying for both the deal and the draw. This time there isn't a joker in the deck and the lowest pay is a two pair instead of a pair of jacks. As with the joker poker game, the player must bet again for the draw, or decline it.

Here is my analysis of the game on a "to one" basis.

Hand	Bet	Net win	Combinations	Probability	Return
Royal flush	1	999	30,678,780	0.000002	0.001538
Royal flush	2	998	378,873,000	0.000019	0.018969
Straight flush	1	399	276,109,020	0.000014	0.005527
Straight flush	2	398	2,651,060,940	0.000133	0.052933
Four of a kind	1	49	4,785,889,680	0.000240	0.011765
Four of a kind	2	48	39,742,160,040	0.001994	0.095701
Full house	1	14	28,715,338,080	0.001441	0.020168
Full house	2	13	186,369,586,920	0.009350	0.121546
Flush	1	8	30,740,137,560	0.001542	0.012337
Flush	2	7	178,317,811,980	0.008946	0.062620
Straight	1	6	73,629,072,000	0.003694	0.022163
Straight	2	5	92,108,964,420	0.004621	0.023104
Three of a kind	1	4	-	0.000000	0.000000
Three of a kind	2	3	1,282,517,202,780	0.064341	0.193022
Two pair	1	2	-	0.000000	0.000000
Two pair	2	1	2,141,786,352,420	0.107448	0.107448
Loser	1	-1	8,609,999,607,000	0.431942	-0.431942
Loser	2	-2	7,261,181,672,580	0.364275	-0.728550
Total			19,933,230,517,200	1.000000	-0.411652

In other words, a house edge of 41.17%. Quite a bit different from the player advantage of 16% advantage in American Poker Gold.

The question for the poll is would you play this game?
