New Game @Stations

It seems like a 95% game but haven't done the math. Maybe you guys are privy to it.
 
Rules: Buy a guaranteed amount of VP hands on your favorite game. Example for quarters, @$20 gets you 75 hands or $40 buys you 200 hands. Your losing hands issues negative credits(5per hand) and your winners(ex.3of K) are credited with 15. Pay scales aren't full. Comparable to progressives. You can quit at any time. The Station folk have flooded their casinos with these machines. Any thoughts?

Hey Ron, did you just come in from the moon?  LOL.   Yes, we have been discussing this variation of what we think will turn out to be a "scam" on the part of the casinos.  At best, it is a very probable losing proposition.  Check some of the topics on the forum here that have "Guaranteed Play" in the topic heading.  I know there were some topics under the Video Poker Games major category.

Sorry Mike. Unable to access forum last few week. Spybot thought they were looking out for me. Instead, they seized my computer like an alien aircraft. lol

Hope I didn't offend you with that post.  I've been doing battle with a genius on another forum who seems not to be able to be convinced that betting strategies just do not work in BJ.  That is probably the most beaten up horse on the gambling planet.  Heck, we even had a taste of it here on VP.I was just frustrated.  Sorry.As for the GP machines, on yet another forum, there was some character pretty much insisting that since GP seemed to be here to stay, we might as well play it!  Shades of 6:5 Blackjack!  Yesh.  Today must have been the day for folks to get stupid (not talking about YOU).
