I play the same game same pay table at two different places.  Together my coin in coin out return to date for both is 97% without a royal flush at either place . One table is 106% and the other is 87% they both have  roughly the same amount  of hands (12,000) each.  One table   has a 4oak  ocurance of 350 and the other 470, together they work out to the 4oak game math about 417 . The game I play and only play is SA 7/5 multiline 3,5,10,50 play and it has a return of 98.85. At one place that I play , I will play untill I get a key hand then stop then continue at the second  place. The first place has the better game return and the second stinks. However together they work out as expected. any comments or questions on these findings. 

"The game I play and only play is SA 7/5 multiline 3,5,10,50 play and it has a return of 98.85."
 
Why play any game with a negative EV? Can't you find anything better than 7/5? I'd pass this action and EF the cocktail waitresses.

  I played 6/5 and 7/5 machines when I didn't know any better. Thats like playing VP on a cruise ship!

12K is not very many hands to make any kind of judgements. If you get to 100K you should start to see some leveling off. However, with a game like SA it may take a million or more hands before you see true convergence.

That is the best paytable that I can find on multi line machine .

i bought the video poker edge book by linda boyd,as someone said it was like internal works of a vp machine a computer programmer would use,but it doesn't seem like that to me,just a novices guide to vp i think,does anyone know of a vp programmers book?

No such book. You might want to review vpgenius.com for some thoughts by someone who decided to do VP programming on his own.
