While watching a video on YouTube, I came across this pay table for TDB.
The straight flush gets bumped from 250 to 500 credits but the four 5's-K's gets bumped down from 250 to 200 dropping the return by almost one percent. This is on a $5 denomination game so I'm assuming this was done to avoid taxables. Curious if anyone has seen it on lower denominations.
98.6295% "9/7" Triple Double Bonus

An add-on thought: if they wanted to reduce the quad payout to less than $1200 by making it 239x5 instead of 250, they could pretty well maintain the 99.58% game return by increasing the straight flush to 400. Of course, they don't really care about that.

Let this also be a lesson. Never rely on the old stand by of just looking at the full house/flush pays. You need to look at the whole pay table. I learned that when I found the 500/9/6 (2500/45/30 for 5 credits) JoB years ago.

But in a 3 line game, dealt trips will cause a handpay on 3 play if one quad is converted which is what the game is trying to avoid.onemoretry wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 11:18 amAn add-on thought: if they wanted to reduce the quad payout to less than $1200 by making it 239x5 instead of 250, they could pretty well maintain the 99.58% game return by increasing the straight flush to 400.

Hence the 200 credit payout for 5-Ks. Cosmo also offers 10/6 DDB in the same format, which is 99.02%.
I've met that guy in the video back in Sept. 2018, btw. I also noticed the paytable change as well. It's still superior to traditional 9/6 TDB though, so better he played that. He's a big TDB fan. Very nice guy, but a lot more into gambling than I ever will be.

Right. I was obviously thinking only of single line when I made my comment - which is really strange, since my personal preference is multiline, and the the picture was triple line.

Thank you JStark for bringing this game to our attention.
I like to be fluent in the games and this is one I had not seen yet.

You're welcome Bob.
Again to reiterate what I said above. We need to check the whole pay table and not just certain parts of it.

A while ago I was perusing paytables at the local with Vman96, and we came across a $1, $2, $5 machine with 8/5 Bonus. It is on a small bank of machines with more liberal slot club benefits, compared to the other "better"machines. I was about to sit down and bang away when he said something like "whoa, all quads pay 150". Point taken.
A month or so later I had a hankering for some $2 bonus, checked the paytables, 8/5. Forgetting all about the 150 quads, when I got aces and got $300 instead of $800 I was pissed (and feeling foolish) for not checking the whole paytable.l
