8 coin video poker or 5 coin video poker?
I'm interested in what games you currently see on the casino floor.
Thanks,
Diana

While I have seen 8 coin VP machines here and there, I don't recall ever seeing one in Vegas. People are too used to the royal bonus being paid when you get to five coins. There are some ten-coin machines out there, but for the reason I stated, they always pay the full royal bonus (800-to-1 instead of 250-to-1) on bets of five coins or more.

Thanks, that's what I thought.
The 8-coin games ares suitable for places like Illinois, where they just legalized games with a $2.00 maximum bet. 8 quarters = $2 which makes sense in Chicago, but 5-coin games are a better deal, which makes sense in Vegas.

5-coin, by far. That's everywhere I've been. I sometimes see 8-coin nickels, but that's rare. Bally's Atlantic City has an 8-coin quarter game that is pretty "infamous" among VP players because it was giving out extra points for a while.

I don't know. I can't even play the Rocky slots. Playtech games are legal outside the U.S.
But you can play Blazing 7s practially anywhere. ;-)

I've played a 8-coin VP game 4 years or so ago in the new Frontier... hit the bonus quads on it too...

There's an 8-coin bar called Billy Joe's inside Sam's Town. All the machines are dollars, and they are all hooked up to a progressive that starts at $5000.
In Laughlin there is an 8-coin dollar bar inside the Pioneer.
