I was hoping for a bit of help analyzing this game. I have looked for this answer online, and attempted to use the paytable analyzer, but I have been unable to find specifics for this video poker variant such as house edge and probibility of the progressive. Any help is appreciated!

It looks like your game is the 97.19% returning variety that is detailed here.
My combinatorial skills are weak, and the linked page doesn't address the possibility for a progressive. Maybe someone else can help with that part...

Yes, this game, minus the progressive, pays 97.19%.
Essentially, the only way you are going to hit this progressive is by getting dealt 5 Aces. This is 1 hit out of 53 choose 5, or 2,869,685. The next likely event is to get dealt 4 of the Aces/Jokers, then draw for the remaining card. The number of progressive hits you get from this is 240/(48^3), or approximately 0.00217. Even if you always held your cards to only shoot for the progressive, the number of hits is 1.00217803171177 in 2,869,685.
Now, let's assume that the progressive is paid in addition to the base win of 2400 per hand (7200 total). This is probably not true though.
So, the total return from the base progressive award is 100,000 * 1.00217 / 2,869,685 / 9 (where 9 is the number of credits wagered) = 0.388%. If, however, the progressive award replaces the 7200 standard award, then the progressive is worth 0.36%.
Looks like this game, overall, pays 97.55% plus the progressive contribution.

I heart Crystal Math.
