. . .
I've seen 10/7 Jacks before in Tunica. But two pair was only 1 for 1, it's the worst VP game I've ever seen in a casino.

I play JOB and Bonus poker enough to know that I'm not touching a game that only pays 1 for 1 on two pair. NEVER.
Interesting to me was I had dinner last week at Venetian, and strolled the casino floor afterwards.
I had no idea that there is a Bonus Poker game that only pays on any four of a kind, rather than a breakdown for 4 aces, or with four 2-4's. Garbage.

35/8/5/3/2/1 is the better version. As Bob pointed out once, it's really just JoB with a higher quad pay off. There is also a short version where quads pay 30. We have that one here. Picture of it later tonight.

I've encountered that one a few times, as well. I call it "Bogus Bonus" poker.
Actually, as is pointed out by Jstark, above, it's not a bad game if it's one with the 175 quad payout, it's simply 8/5 JOB with an enhanced quad payoff, and has a return of 99.66%. Probably, though, you encountered the inferior version with a 150 quad payout (98.48%).

I'm fairly certain the one here is the 30/6/5 version which is 96.1772%

I was going to say, I'm not sure Venetian offers any 98.48% vp except in high-limit.

I'm in the Detroit area.
And considering Venetian offers mostly 6:5 blackjack, I wouldn't doubt you.

Sorry, I was referring back to the sighting Doug mentioned.
I think it may have been Venetian that pioneered triple zero roulette.

NOPE. The bonus poker games at Venetian paid 125 credits for any quad (again, with no larger payout for 4 aces or four 2-4's). And, this was on a bank of games with denomination choice of $1, $2 or $5.
Garbage

Adding here that the M has lowered its paytables in their high limit room, and they have the charming Bonus Poker paytables I just described. Someone at M has lost their marbles

I almost forgot, but did check one machine out before leaving and it was 35/6/5 for a return of 97.3586%
