Wizard’s video poker strategy maker

Is there a way to use the strategy maker for games that require more than 5 coins per bet. On The vp analyser it lets you adjust the number of coins bet but on the strategy maker I don’t see that option.
I tried doing it for a 6 coin bet by adjusting the payoffs. For example if 4 aces paid 1200 for 6 coins I would use 1000 for 5 coins but then when you get down to 3 of a kind or 2 pair or one pair I’m not sure how to adjust it for that.
I tried putting in decimal amounts but based on the return of the game I know it wasn’t correct.
Any help with this would be great.

Optimal strategy does not care how many coins you put in. You are just trying to get the best expected payoff because the coins bet are a sunk cost. Use the actual payoffs for the game without correcting them.

For JoB, the strategy for one coin or two coins should be the same. The strategy for 5 coins changes, but only because the relative payout for the RF increases to 800:1.
