That's a cardinal sin of casino game design. I can't tell you how many social slot games I've seen where the free spins result in 0 credits after 10 or 15 spins. Almost nothing is more frustrating for a player than waiting 15-30 minutes to trigger a feature and then having it pay absolutely nothing.Quote: 100xOddsok, I'm on tilt from playing Taphouse poker and getting $0 from the bonus game everytime today.
For what it's worth, Zynga's first few attempts at social slot games did exactly that, and often. Remember Zynga?

yeah the frustration in my OP level went thru the roof.
I'm done w/ bonus games that have the possibility of $0 payouts!
you hear me Taphouse, stp, ult X (except vulturing), etc!
extra draw frenzy seems interesting. but qualifying hands is 3OaK only.
plus from the wiz's page (https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/tables/extra-draw-frenzy/), there doesn't seem any +EV to this feature, at least with JoB. (don't know return % of other games by heart)
so I'm just increasing variance? :(
so any other VP that have a minimum payout for the bonus game?
