Since the Prob of four of a kind is similar to JOB, and is much higher, is the Prob of Ruin and the possibility of gain the highest?

Thank you.

Do you mean Bonus Poker Deluxe?

Yes, the probability of ruin is higher and the probability of a significant win is also higher since two pair in Bonus Poker Deluxe only pays 1 for 1 on two pair (increases your ruin chances), but 80 for 1 on four of a kind (increases your chances of a significant win).

Thanks. How do you view Loose Deuces Bonus.........given the high ruin probability, I see where the "hit" is around every 4600 plays, 500 for 1.
Then, Super Aces Bonus, well the "hit" is around every 4200 plays, 400 for 1. Which would you play, given the Aces Bonus has other better chances to score? Thank you. fs

Personally I would be playing whichever game has the better overall paytable. The variance of both of those games are similar (very high). If your goal is a "win big or go home" mentality, both of these games are good choices. Super Aces Bonus probably has a simpler strategy though and has a slightly lower variance, so if the paytables pay about the same optimally, I would lean toward Super Aces Bonus.

Given a full paytable, you can find returns and strategies for various games here:
