8/5 Bonus -- $5 Denom

(Incorrect table removed because it was causing formatting problems)



-post edited down by me-

This Bonus Poker chart looks off on the pays for 4 5's-->K's. I do not know if this changes your calculations...

That's because it accounts for the free play

Don't forget, free play can't be used on VP there.

Here is a link to more information on this: Plaza Hotel and Casino to 'pay your taxes' on April 18.

I'd do just about anything to get the Plaza to pay my taxes, but I had a good year in 2015.

Speaking of taxes, I hope you got to treat the sale of WoV as a long term capital gain from property held in a trade or business, thereby avoiding both the regular income tax rate and the 3.8% NIIT. If you have a big number on line 62 of your 1040, it's worth double-checking with your accountant. You have until Monday...

If I am not mistaken I think your numbers are wrong on 8/5 Bonus. Wouldn't only the royal, SF, and four aces get the bonus?



You're absolutely right. Thank you for the correction. I forgot to adjust the win for four 5-K after analyzing the double bonus games. I've amended the original post. The bottom line is return of 102.74%.

There is some good news. I forgot to mention they have 9-6 Double Double Bonus at the $5 denom. Here is a table for that.

It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

According to vpfree2.com, "Free play cannot be downloaded on most video poker machines, but OK at Sportsbook Bar. However, I've known that site to be outdated lots of times."

By the way, I'm quite sure the player has to pay the tax on the 28%.



I would be very surprised if that was the case. Freeplay is generally not taxed.

We checked every machine last summer. Not one accepted it.

With only four $5 machines, it will be a real dogfight to get on. I would start playing at least four or five hours before 11:59 PM on Sunday. Hopefully there is a lower denomination on those machines so you can cut losses while waiting. Or play one credit at a time, sloooowwwly . . .

Of course there are probably other opportunities that some people on the board probably do not want revealed.
